Due to the level of success she achieved with songs like”Richtivites,” “Best Friend” and “My Type,” it’s easy to forget that we’re still waiting on Saweetie’s debut album. Delayed a handful of times over the past few years, official information about a date remains sparse. Regardless of whether it’s to hold over fans as they wait or as the beginning of a new cycle, Saweetie delivered on her last single this winter, “Richtivities.”
Debut Australian Tour Dates Just Announced
Saweetie has one show in Baltimore before heading Down Under to perform 5 dates. Her success in Australia has been building over the years starting with 2020’s “Tap In” followed by 2021’s “Best Friend. These both hit the Top 40 there. Here are her upcoming dates after she performs at AFRAM in Baltimore on June 21st:
Jul 30 – Metro City, Perth, WA
Aug 03 – Eatons Hill HOtel, Brisband, OLD
Aug 02 – The Timber Yard, Melbourne, VIC
Aug 04 – Roundhouse, Sydney, NSW
“Richtivities” Finds Saweetie Back At The Top
There’s no way around it, “Richtivities” gives you a ton of information with just the name alone. The content of and peripherals around this new track all center around a true life of luxury. Instrumentally, that manifests as a classical intro and underpinnings in the beat, a slight twist on the 808-heavy formula she landed on for her past few releases.
On the mic, Saweetie is as dependably confident as ever, delivering lines on “Richtivities” like, “Big amounts, never have to go without / Money talk, bank account word to mouth / Private jets, first class, not a flex / Post a pic, shut down the entire net.” In that stanza especially, the flow that Saweetie adopts in the verses hints towards some Dirty South leanings, with a recent close comp shockingly Denzel Curry on “Ricky” (strange, for sure, but A-B compare and you’ll see the similarity).
Finally, the official visualizer and artwork drive home the luxe atmosphere if Saweetie’s performance hadn’t done so already. Largely shot solo in a grand estate, the outfits, vistas and actual music all emphasize that she’s way out of your tax bracket.
As previously mentioned, it’s not yet clear whether “Richtivities” will be a standalone single, or if it’ll factor into larger LP plans for the California-born rapper. Either way, for long-time fans of her, the new track certainly does well in delivering the trademark charisma she’s known for. For fun merch, check out here.
