Heavy Rules Mixtape is an extended play/mixtape by Finnish singer and songwriter Alma. It was released through PME Records and Warner Music Finland on 2 March 2018. Songs for the extended play were written and recorded in 2017 and early 2018.[1] The extended play was produced by Axident, Hank Solo, Mag, Jason Gill and features guest appearances by MØ, Tove Styrke and Kiiara.[2][3]
Alma released her debut extended play Dye My Hair in 2016. In 2017, she was featured on Sub Focus' single "Don't You Feel It" and Martin Solveig's single "All Stars" and released solo singles "Chasing Highs" and "Phases" with French Montana. In February 2018, it was announced that Alma would release Heavy Rules Mixtape the following month.[2] Alma said that she decided to release more music, because "I’m going on tour and I have these festival shows and everything, and it feels super horrible to play these gigs and to have so few songs out".[4] In an interview with Paper, Alma spoke of the recording process, saying:
I think now I've found what I want to do — I've found my friends and the people I like to work with. While I was once struggling with my sound, I'm in a better place than when I started. You can hear the vibe on this mixtape, too.[5]
Critical receptionedit
