There's a phrase Lily Forte stumbled across while researching lily flowers, a deep dive that started, she'll tell you, because she couldn't decide whether to self-title her debut album. Don't gild the lily. It means, roughly, that beauty isn't found in excess. That adding to something already whole only diminishes it. The moment she found it, the album had a name. And more than that, it had a through line.
Kid Cudi’s legacy extends to the 2010s, when his hit track “Day n’ Night” first premiered in 2009 (we all remember the DirecTV commercial that used the song on the Help channel). Since then, Kid Cudi has become a household name, releasing music and starring in films like X and Happy Gilmore 2.
