New York, NY (Top40 Charts) August Alsina revealed to his fans that he was suffering from a bad liver disease which has really upset his life and due to which he feels "sick all the time."
But that does not keep him away from putting out new music. Carrying forward the campaign for his forthcoming third album DRUGS, the talented singer, who is signed to Def Jam, drops a heartfelt song titled 'Don't Matter'. August mentioned on his Instagram that this is the first official single from the album.
The acoustic guitar led track carries a carefree, brighter vibe than the three previous tracks he released earlier this year. Coming in under three minutes, Alsina sings out to a love interest who has him addicted like drugs, which fittingly is the title of his forthcoming third studio album.
"I be knocking down the walls every time you make that call / You be changing all your plans / Plus you calling me your man," he sings. "You got something I can feel baby / Yea, it's been so long, I've been having withdraws."
While the R&B singer is expected to release his new album this year, August recently sat down for a personal interview with his friend, Jada Pinkett-Smith. During their conversation he surprised fans by revealing that he suffers from a serious liver illness. "I have a liver disease, where my auto-immune system is fighting against itself," he said. "The reality is that I'm sick all the time. I don't really like to talk about because I'm not looking for anybody's sympathy."
The full interview hasn't been released yet, nor has a date been announced for his new album, but the singer is expected to hit the road on his "Don't Matter Tour," kicking off July 27 in San Antonio, TX.
