Earl Sweatshirt Announces Ambitious 3LWorldTour Following Live Laugh Love Release
In a significant boost to his already vibrant career, Earl Sweatshirt has announced the 3LWorldTour, which follows the release of his acclaimed new album, Live Laugh Love. Kicking off on October 31st at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater, the tour will span over 50 dates across North America, featuring highlights in cities such as Las Vegas, Houston, New York, New Orleans, Washington D.C., and culminating at the anticipated Camp Flog Gnaw festival in Los Angeles.
Album Release and Critical Reception
Released under Warner Records and Tan Cressida, Live Laugh Love has garnered widespread acclaim, signaling a new artistic direction for Sweatshirt. Many critics have noted this album as a distinct evolution from his earlier work, particularly I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside, which was marked by themes of isolation and introspection. In contrast, Live Laugh Love showcases a more nuanced exploration of themes such as connection, responsibility, and personal growth.
The music videos for the tracks “Tourmaline” and “CRISCO” complement the album’s themes. In “Tourmaline,” Earl blends sing-rap elements over a melancholic melody, delving into topics of spiritual protection and fatherhood, wrapped in a cinematic aesthetic that enhances the emotional resonance of his lyrics.
