Emerging singer and Variance favorite is kicking off the weekend with good news.

He has just shared his new song "tendency to be a loner," which happens to be the title track of his newly announced debut album, which will arrive Aug. 6 via FADER Label. The song was co-written with Ashe, and Alexander 23—whose own star is quickly on the rise—helped produce it.

“This song really brought the project together for me, so it only made sense to use it as the title track," says Knowles. "I’ve always had a hard time expressing myself, so music, and especially this song, has allowed me to do that. Ashe really made an impact on this record, and together we were able to make something that I think really describes what it feels like being an introvert."

Of the album, he adds: "I wanted the flow of this album to feel like the flow of my emotions. Some days I wanna be alone and some days I wanna get out. This album represents the highs and lows of that struggle, and hopefully, it connects with people who feel the same way.”
