Following the big announcement, LØREN took to his personal Instagram account to share the tracklist for ‘Put Up A Fight’, which was entirely written and produced by the musician. Led by the title track ‘Folks’, the record will be accompanied by B-sides ‘Temporary’, ‘Sticks And Stones’, ‘Panic’ and ‘Frown’.

Ahead of the upcoming release, LØREN is also set to perform at this year’s SXSW (March 15), which will mark his first shows in the US. He will also be making his Head In The Clouds debut in May at the music festival’s upcoming New York event.

“It feels surreal to have SXSW, album release and HITC New York ahead of me. To say I’m excited would be an understatement—I absolutely cannot wait for what’s to come,” the musician commented.

LØREN made his debut as a soloist in 2020 with his single ‘Empty Trash’, followed by the releases of ‘Need (ooo-eee)’ and ‘All My Friends Are Turning Blue’ in 2021.

He has been credited as a lyricist on several BLACKPINK songs, including ‘Lovesick Girls’, ‘Pretty Savage’ and ‘You Never Know’, and also appeared in the ‘Lovesick Girls’ music video.
