Superbloom is said to release next month on October 23. Today, he will release the album’s first single, “Skinny Skinny.” The song is about body image and particularly body dysmorphia. Hopefully, this song will start a chain of personal and soul touching songs from his upcoming album. As a solo album, he is crossing territory he hasn’t had the chance to explore creatively.
The best part of everything is that his band members are incredibly supportive of Irwin’s solo work. “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,” Irwin wrote on Twitter.
imagine ashton telling the guys about this project and luke, michael and calum being super supportive to him 🥺
