Matt Champion's debut solo album, "Mika's Laundry," arrives March 22.

Former Brockhampton member Matt Champion kicked off 2024 with a bang, unveiling his song "Aphid" in February. Later that month, he dropped a danceable track called "Slug," paving the way for even more to come. Now, the Texas-born performer has come through with yet another dreamy single, this time teaming up with K-pop icon Jennie.

The Blackpink superstar lends her hypnotic vocals to the otherwise electronic track. Lyrics center around wishing time would stand still, allowing moments with a loved one to last a lifetime. The track was produced by Matt Champion, Henry Kwapis, Dijon, and other “close collaborators,” according to a press release.

Mika's Laundry Arrives March 22

The melancholy song certainly delivers the bright, fresh atmosphere one would hope for on a pre-spring release, and has managed to leave fans hoping for more. Fortunately, it won't be too much longer before fans hear another release from Matt Champion, as the hitmaker has also recently announced a new full-length project. His debut solo album, dubbed Mika's Laundry, is slated for release on March 22.

"Slow Motion" additionally arrives alongside an accompanying music video. In the simple, trippy visual, viewers watch a close-up shot of an eyeball reacting to flashing lights. The video was directed by Anna Pollack, who also directed Matt Champion's "Aphid" and "Slug" music videos, which he unveiled in February.

Quotable Lyrics:

Driving upside down
You're my escape from reality
You know what you mean to me
'Cause I'm leaning all my weight
Making my heart cry
Moving in slow, slow motion
