Directly following his 2020 album Starz, legendary Swedish artist Yung Lean has finally unveiled Stardust, a 12-track mixtape that features a massive lineup of features, as well as contributions from some of his closest producers. Other than two collaborations with Skrillex, Stardust features guest performances from FKA twigs, as well as close collaborators Thaiboy Digital, Bladee and Ecco2k of Drain Gang.
