Teddy Glass will be releasing their debut album, Nights and Weekends, this Friday! Today, Billboard has the exclusive premiere of their latest single from that album called "Doveskin," which is a Prince-influenced number. It's a bluesy R&B song, and Peter Shults of the group has this to say about it: "'Doveskin' came around about the time Prince passed (April 2016), and I think I was influenced by him being on my mind and trying to get a little more of his vibe going into it. It was a fun song because it was more of like a word problem than something I would typically sit down and write for myself. It's pretty playful in that regard -- and surprising to me."
Head over to Billboard to check out the full write up and jam the track below. Nights and Weekends is out this Friday 8/24!
