The teaser was also shared by Blink 182's Travis Barker, who previously worked with the artist on his Estella track.

KennyHoopla, whose real name is Kenneth La’ron, was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1997 and describes his music as "new wave nostalgia".

He spent a period uploading music to SoundCloud, including the hugely popular Cave.

These early tracks were collected on the EP Beneath The Willow Tree. The wistful Waves was La'Ron's first commercial single in August 2017, but his major breakthrough was with the track Lost Cause in February 2019.

KennyHoopla was set to perform two nights at London's O2 Forum, Kentish Town in March 2021, supporting Yungblud, and was added to the bill for Brighton's The Great Escape.
