Late last year, it was announced that LISA rejoined m-flo after 15 years. A new song, “never”, was discussed, but no release date was given for it. The song will be released on March 7 as part of m-flo’s new single, “the tripod e.p.2.” This release is the sequel to m-flo’s major label debut single, “the tripod e.p.”, which was released in July 1999. Also included on the new single is another new song, “No Question.” m-flo released a preview of the song on YouTube earlier today. The music videos for “never” and “No Question” will both be part of this release.
Prior to the release of “the tripod e.p.2”, m-flo will release a digital-only remix album, “BACK2THEFUTURETHEALBUM.” Set for release on February 28, this album sees m-flo’s catalog being remixed by the likes of tofubeats, Qrion, banvox, PKCZ, TeddyLoid, and more.
