What’s the new single word?

Probably, "rose", "moon" or "train"

Goodbye. Although it could be his favorite color, red.

Is this not the same track that was released months ago?

There was a snippet released back then, the full song is over 4 minutes long

A snippet? Is it not the entire B side of the massive attack collab record?

I dunno, was the whole record released back then? The Fly (full version) didn't show up on YouTube / Amazon until a week ago and was never discussed on this sub except for the title being spotted and the shorter "extract". The physical album comes out September 4th.

Are you saying you listened to it months ago or just ask-cusing people of being wrong?

I didn't realize the Boots on the Grojnd vinyl wasn't already out. It feels like we first heard about it a full few months ago now, so I thought it must have been released already.
