Cudi bulldozed the way for INSANO with “AT THE PARTY” [with Pharrell Williams & Travis Scott]. Beyond posting up millions of streams, NME hailed it as “hypnotic,” and Rolling Stone praised, “speaker-rattling kick drums, bass thumps, and an array of heady synths that flit between psychedelic and sinister. Kid Cudi matches that mood.” US Weekly christened it “a mid-autumn club banger,” while HYPEBEAST raved, “it’s a great reminder of the chemistry between the two that’s aided by the stellar contribution of Pharrell.”
The last time we heard from Cudi was on 2022’s ENTERGALACTIC—which landed in tandem with the companion NETFLIX project of the same name that was recently nominated for an EMMY Award for “Outstanding Animated Program”. Beyond piling up hundreds of millions of streams, Pitchfork hailed it as “some of his most purely enjoyable music in a decade.” Upon arrival, it bowed in the Top 15 of the Billboard 200 and emerged as his seventh Top 20 debut on the respective chart. Plus, it earned a nomination in the category of “Outstanding Soundtrack/Compilation Album” at the NAACP Image Awards.
