Six years after his debut Wallflower album, Whethan has lit up the EDM world again with Life of a Wallflower, Vol. 2 which came out on July 12 via Good Luck Have Fun. Now he sets his sights on Brooklyn and DC for the final two stops on his epic Life of a Wallflower Vol. 2 Tour this weekend. Just check out the scenes from Whethan’s last show in Los Angeles!
Whethan’s new album reminds us of his genre-blending talent and futuristic sound. We covered his prior single “DO YOU REMEMBER” and his viral hit “MONEY ON THE DASH” with Elley Duhé has been blasting on our summer speakers. Notably his only lowercase song, “sick of myself,” offers a catchy pop tune with the sultry vocals of Nessa Barrett.
The first track, “STEALTH BOMBER,” features the distinctive gritty vocals from popular UK MC Flowdan and starts the album with a fresh, exotic sound. My favorite track is hiding near the end, “CRAZY4U.” With its snappy vocals from MKLA and Whethan’s energetic backbeat, I can’t wait to catch this one on the Elsewhere dance floor.
A lot changed since I caught Whethan on his last Wallflowers tour at Brooklyn Steel on a Wednesday in September 2018, when a not-so-wallflowery MadeinTKO provided direct support for the budding teenage talent. On the other hand, Chet Porter provided support at some of Whethan’s 2018 tour stops, and now in 2024, Porter returns to the Life of a Wallflower Vol. 2 Tour with a “crazy fun party DJ set.”
Another Good Luck Have Fun artist, Super Computer, rounds out the support for Whethan’s last two stops, Friday, July 26 at Elsewhere in Brooklyn and Saturday, July 27 at Culture in Washington DC. For all the latest from Whethan about any new show dates and fresh remixes from artists like Armin Van Buuren, follow along on his social media.
