Brockhampton Keep the '90s Throwbacks Coming With New Single 1997 DIANA

Brockhampton have shared the latest cut from an ongoing series of throwbacks.
Back in June, the collective announced a new album, ‘The Best Years of Our Lives’ during an appearance on Fallon. They've since followed it up with a run of '90s-referencing tracks that nod to the era that spawned hip-hop as we know it and provided the groundwork for a band like Brockhampton.
The first cut from the Kevin Abstract-led new record, 1999 WILDFIRE, dropped at the beginning of this month, and was chased up by 1998 TRUMAN. Now, we have another track to jam to: 1997 DIANA.
With the voices of children counting down from 10, the track opens out into fast-paced, high energy verses and one damn catchy lead hook. It blows away the cobwebs from the low-key 1999 WILDFIRE and glitchy 1998 Truman. There’s a video from Abstract too, in which the band have a good ol’ boogie in a high school gym.
It looks like Abstract is sticking to his promise of new music all summer, but there's still no news of a release date for the album. Brockhampton play London and Dublin shows in August, sandwiched between a US tour and dates down under.
