After drubbing the competition with a fistful of hits including “Yeah Glo!,” “Wanna Be,” and “TGIF,” GloRilla looks to cement her MVP year with the release of her debut album, GLORIOUS. Released today (Oct. 11), GLORIOUS includes marquee names such as Megan Thee Stallion, Latto, Sexyy Red, Kirk Franklin, T-Pain, and more.
“Last year, I was supposed to drop my debut album, but I was still just getting used to stuff and working a lot,” Glo told Billboard earlier this week. When the top of the year came, I had the project basically done. I was like, ‘OK, I gotta give them the mixtape before I give them the album,’ because I went the whole year without dropping anything. That’s why I said I was gonna give them the mixtape first, get em’ back used to me first, give ’em a feel of me, and then that’s gonna prep me for the album. The mixtape did good and did what it was supposed to do, which prepped me for my album.”
After previously dishing out “Wanna Be” and “Accent” with her Megan Thee Stallion, the pair connected again for a trifecta on their newest collaboration, “How I Look. “I don’t really have a lot of industry friends,” said Glo regarding her friendship with Megan. “I got associates and they’re cool, but me and Meg really got cool. I didn’t expect it. She FaceTimed me when I was getting on the plane, just talking crazy and funny. We really gained a bond.”
