Sudan Archives is having a massive year, between being named one of YouTube Music’s Foundry Class of 2022 and appearing on the popular Song Exploder podcast. Ahead of the release of her sophomore album, Natural Brown Prom Queen, the R&B singer has shared the new video for the record’s fourth single, “OMG Britt.”
Directed by Zach Sulak, Sudan dances in various mysterious futuristic rooms as she performs the energetic trap single. She is also featured on the production credits for “OMG Britt,” alongside JD Reid (Slowthai, Mabel, Ghetts), Ben Dickey, and Simon On The Moon.
Natural Brown Prom Queen is inspired by Sudan’s teenage years as she unveils her new alter ego, Britt. Although Sudan’s real name is Brittney Parks, the album’s alter ego is a little different. She described in a statement that Britt is “the girl next door from Cincinnati who drives around the city with the top down and shows up to high-school prom in a pink furry bikini with her thong hanging out her denim skirt.”
Following the album’s release, Sudan is gearing up to embark on her Homecoming Tour across North America and Europe. A complete list of dates is available below.
