Background

edit

Yung Lean began work on Stardust in 2020, influenced by the work of Phil Spector and his Wall of Sound.[2] A snippet of "Bliss" was released on 30 September 2020 to the rapper's social media. The lead and only single for the project, "Trip", was released on 25 March 2022 along with an accompanying video.[3][4]

Nadine Smith of Pitchfork remarked, "Set against the glistening voices of his Drain Gang associates Bladee and Ecco2k on "SummerTime Blood", Lean's tone is rougher and more down to earth, whereas his collaborators tilt toward the angelic. On “Starz2TheRainbow", featuring Thaiboy Digital, several layers of overdubs circle and collide with one another, transforming Lean into an erratic choir."[1] In a mixed review, Malachi Lui of Analog Planet stated, "While Stardust doesn't offer anything groundbreaking, it's a good mixtape from a restlessly creative legend who's far from finished."[5]
