“Mood Variant” follows the overwhelming success of critically acclaimed album “Mood Valiant”, which is currently nominated for Best Progressive R&B Album at the 2022 GRAMMYS in April. 3x GRAMMY nominated Hiatus Kaiyote announce remix album “Mood Variant”–out 3rd April on Brainfeeder–and share a double single release of ‘Red Room (Nick Hakim Remix)’ and ‘Get Sun (Georgia Anne Muldrow Remix)’, which is out today.
