UPDATE: SEPT. 23, 2020, 4:51 P.M. ET

Ashton Irwin has confirmed he is releasing his solo album Superbloom on Oct. 23. As well, his new single “Skinny Skinny” arrives Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 9 P.M. PT.

“It is with a great explosion of joy and with my entire soul that I am proudly announcing to you all that I am releasing my first solo record,” he says. “The album explores my inner philosophies and feelings about the walk of life I have found myself on. I’m ridiculously excited to share this with you, it feels like this record has been over a decade in the making. It brings me the greatest joy of all that I am in a band that allows me to create freely inside and outside of it. I can’t wait for you to hear it.”

On “Skinny Skinny,” Irwin reveals that the single is about fighting against the darkness that consumes us and loving ourselves for who we are. He shares that the single is inspired by real-life struggles people face each day.

“We must fight against a common darkness that shadows our ability to live truthfully, to live without self doubt, and without self destruction and love ourselves for what we are,” he continues. “When writing ‘Skinny Skinny’ I first thought of myself, and many other young peoples struggles with body image and particularly body dysmorphia. It’s something I’ve never confronted in a creative form and I am feeling strong in saying ‘Skinny Skinny’ goes directly to that painful place in my mind.”

Pre-orders for Superbloom are available here.
