20 year old Houston artist HillaryJane is slated to release her debut EP Stix and Stones on July 29th.
The project is counter cultural, promoting subject matter that doesn’t base happiness on acquiring material things, and encourages people to be confident in who they are.
Stix and Stones was produced entirely by Grammy and Dove Award winning duo 808XEliTE, who are known for producing for some of today’s most buzz worthy Hip Hop and Reggae artists such as Lecrae, 2Chainz, Papa San, Meek Mill, and Andy Mineo.
I love 808XEliTE’s production, so when I had to chance to create and record with them in person, I was ecstatic. We created 6 songs together organically and that is missing in Hip Hop and R&B today.” says HillaryJane. “I hope the final product feels cohesive and organic to everyone that listens.
The only track not produced by 808xELiTE is by HXLY KXSS – this mysterious, unknown guy from Europe who recently released his very first produced song that landed on Hillsong United’s The White Album (Remix Project). We reached out to him and he really wanted to remix the song “Shotgun”, and so we end the project with something special from him.
Stix and Stones is available to pre-order from iTunes today, and you can also individually download the first single, “Chimneys”. Chimneys is a song about not believing the lies that are pushed on you by society.
The tracklist for Stix and Stones is as follows.
1. Chimneys
2. Celebrity ft. Thi’sl
3. Wild Side
4. Shotgun
5. We Fight
6. Stix and Stones
7. Shotgun (HXLY KXSS remix)
