Guided by the California-raised singer-songwriter's smooth, soulful vocals, the R&B track marks the first preview of a forthcoming EP, further details of which are still to be revealed. Check out the song's self-directed video, with cinematography from Marcell Rév, below. Sumney said:
"Vintage is me sliding into the music I probably listen to most these days—progressive R&B. I crafted the video as a callback to the '90s/2000s clips of my childhood, when men weren’t afraid to beg and plead. I am once again begging to join the pantheon of great yearners: K-Ci & Jojo, Omarion, Ray J, Jodeci, Jagged Edge. Desire has always been at the core of my work; now the desire has a little shimmering shimmy to it."
Sumney released his sophomore album, 'Græ', in 2020 and 'Live From Blackalachia' the following year. Since then, he's kept busy with roles in film and television, appearing in The Weekend's HBO series The Idol. He'll also star alongside Mia Goth, Halsey and Kevin Bacon in the upcoming A24 horror-mystery MaXXXine, which is out on July 5.
