Dominic Fike is baring all. Not only on his second studio album, Sunburn, or in the revealing interviews he’s given during the rollout, but also, onstage. Fans at Fike’s Los Angeles concert last night (August 9) got quite a show, as he briefly (no pun intended) undressed on stage, as he was switching outfits.

In a clip captured by fans, Fike is seen removing his shirt and pants, stripping down to nothing but his skivvies and socks.

Fike later shared the clip to his Instagram story, captioning the video “Thanks la I’ll be back home soon.”

This summer has proven to be a breakthrough season for Fike. In addition to his tour, he released Sunburn in July, and also contributed to the Barbie soundtrack.

In an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, Fike admitted that while he’s garnered much of a large following — particularly since his role on HBO’s Euphoria — he’s a little bit uncomfortable with fame.

“…if it were up to just me, you would never see me on [social media],” said Fike. “I mean, I would use it just for drunk posts at 3:00 AM, ‘f*cking killed this boy in Smash.’ Like dumb sh*t. Because I never think to make a post about a song that I released, that’s just not in my DNA. I don’t know. I’m never like, ‘Oh, got to post about this sh*t that I made last night.’”

Dominic Fike Brings Florida Vibes To Your Headphones With “Sunburn” Album Featuring Weezer

A few years ago, Dominic Fike was a relatively low-key artist, best known for his affiliation with BROCKHAMPTON. Now, however, he’s made a name for himself as a main character on one of HBO’s biggest shows, which could only be topped by the arrival of his sophomore album. Sunburn, a 15-track release with just one guest appearance from Weezer, landed this past New Music Friday (July 7), and so far, fans seem to be loving it even more than Fike’s 2020 debut.

On What Could Possibly Go Wrong the Florida-born artist operated solo across 14 titles. “Why,” “Superstar Sh*t,” and “Chicken Tenders” have become the most popular tracks in the years since, helping to propel his career to new heights. Ahead of Sunburn, Fike shared “Dancing In The Courthouse,” “Ant Pile,” and “Mama’s Boy” as singles. In addition to that, he teamed up with Metro Boomin for “Mona Lisa,” which also appears on the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse soundtrack.

Dominic Fike Works with Weezer on New Sunburn LP

As Hypebeast notes, the “3 Nights” hitmaker returned to his home state to make Sunburn. He chiefly took inspiration from his own upbringing as well as the culture around him throughout the creation of his work. Over the next few months, Fike will be busy preparing for his first-ever UK tour coming up this fall. He’ll kick things off on September 19 in Glasgow before moving on to entertain crowds in Manchester, Birmingham, and finally, London.

Dominic Fike Shows Off His Eclecticism On The Trippy New Single ‘Mama’s Boy’

by

Dominic Fike recently announced his sophomore album Sunburn arriving next month. So far, the singles “Dancing In The Courthouse” and “Ant Pile” are out, and now he’s back with “Mama’s Boy.”

At less than three minutes, the track is an off-kilter, sputtering journey that offers an immersive atmosphere. This track also follows the release of “Mona Lisa,” his song for the deluxe version of the Across The Spider-Verse soundtrack.

Shortly after the unveiling of his new record, he’ll be hitting the road on the Don’t Stare At The Sun Tour, which kicks off in Indianapolis and stops by Philadelphia, New York City, Boston, Baltimore, Austin, and more.

Fike is most known for his role as Elliot in Euphoria, though he flaunted his musicianship on the season finale with a five-minute song on an acoustic guitar that left watchers bewildered. “The last year and a half was kind of a rollercoaster, in a weird way,” he said in October. “A lot happened in my personal life, I think. I took a break from music and whatnot. And eventually, I kind of hopped back on … and started working again.”

Dominic Fike Reflects On His First Love On His New Song, ‘Ant Pile’

by

Singer-turned-actor-turned-singer-again Dominic Fike is onto a new chapter. Tonight (May 26) Fike has shared the latest track from his upcoming sophomore album, Sunburn. On the precious “Ant Pile,” Fike took us back to his days on the playground, where he recalls crushing on one of his classmates.

“First grade / Somebody tied you to an ant pile / And that wasn’t even the worst day / Back then you knew I always liked you,” Fike sings, over electrifying guitar riffs.

He then chronicles their love up to high school, where they started to take their relationship to higher levels, from dates, to hook-ups, to breakdowns, and painful dissolutions.

“Ninth grade / I picked you up before the first date / You were allergic to your entrée / You couldn’t do pasta / The movie was awful,” he sings on the second verse.

“Ant Pile” is one of Fike‘s more romantic songs, and the lyrics play out vividly, like the soundtrack to a coming-of-age movie. Sunburn is said to be an autobiographical album inspired by his childhood in Florida. The bulk of the album was written, produced, and recorded in his home state.

After weeks of dropping hints and teasers on social media, Dominic Fike has finally announced his sophomore album. His next effort, Sunburn, will (appropriately) arrive this summer.

Ahead of the album’s release, Fike has released its lead single, the autobiographical “Dancing In The Courthouse.” This Friday, he will release the album’s second single, “Ant Pile,” which he previously performed at Coachella last month

According to a press release accompanying the announcement, Sunburn will offer listeners “the aching and vulnerable revelations of a young artist still growing and putting their best foot forward.” It continues, “Someone who returned home to discover himself once more, who found the right words in small rooms – conjuring timeless spells to close this last chapter of his life and open the door to an even more searingly bright future.”

Fike wrote and recorded much of the album in his home state of Florida, and the songs will serve as love letters to his time growing up there. He worked with drummer Henry Kwapis (Dijon), bassist Devon Workman, and producer Jim-E Stack, and the result was 14 personal tracks. Over the course of the album, Fike will share accounts of heartbreak, regret, addiction, and jealousy.
