pineappleCITI announced her new project neonBLUE, slated for release on February 22nd. Today, she shares the first video from the project, “I Need A Coupe” which premiered exclusively via PAPER Magazine.
“neonBLUE is a collection of thoughts, moments and ideas I’ve been experiencing over the past year. It’s my real life,” said pineappleCITI whose song “Rose Colored” became a viral hit as she was recovering from a near-fatal car accident in 2017.
“I told myself I’m going after everything I want in life; a successful music career, financial stability and even getting the girl of my dreams.”
pineappleCITI’s lyrics are authentic and boastful — celebrating her biggest gains and navigating major loss all the while never losing sight of her dreams and remaining true to self.
This follows pineappleCITI’s recent feature on the Daily Chiefers and Red Bull collaborative mixtape, Making Movies Vol. 1 as part of her freshly formed partnership with Red Bull Music Publishing. More determined than ever, pineappleCITI is set to take 2019 by storm with the release of neonBLUE, a synch licensing deal with Secret Road, scheduled performances at SXSW and song writing credits on upcoming releases from Kelly Rowland and Yo Gotti.
