Travis Scott confirmed that he’s hard at work on new music, and on January 20, he treated fans to a new single. Titled “4X4,” the song serves as the introduction to whatever Travis Scott phase is around the corner. To further excite fans, Scott put on a live rendition of the song during the College Football Championship.
The live performance was fantastic. A marching band played what felt like an endless horn section, while their outlines lit up the stage. Travis Scott stood amidst them all, with a warm orange hue enveloping him. Scott sounded crystal clear in terms of vocal delivery, and the synth leads throughout the song sounded incredible ringing out through the stadium. It was yet another example of Travis Scott putting the lessons he learned from Kanye West’s “stadium status” mindset into play. “4X4” is a banger of a song, too. Not a radical change up, but another atmospheric, trap-influenced single.
Travis Scott’s performance would be reason enough to get excited. But it appears as though fans will be getting the studio version of “4X4” sooner than later. A pre-order link for the single was released shortly after Scott’s performance. Once fans placed their order, they were notified that the physical copies will be shipping within a week. This has led many fans to speculate that Travis Scott will drop the streaming version of “4X4” on Friday, January 24. It would make sense time wise. Besides, Scott has been itching to share new music with the fans.
