Krum, the artist formerly known as Playdough, recently released a new track off his upcoming Bare Knuckle Gospel album. The track, “Emily Morgan,” pays homage to a slave that played a big part in Texas defeating Santa Ana.
“There was a slave that played a huge part in Texas defeating Santa Ana. This is dedicated to her,” he wrote on Twitter.
Krum explained the name change in an email:
“I’m making some changes over here so I wanted to let you all know the latest. This will be the last e-mail that you get from Playdough. Don’t worry, I’m still making music and going strong. From now on all of my music will be under the name ‘Krum’. I know that’s a major change, but it’s great news and I’m super excited about moving forward. I made a quick video to explain the reason for the change and what the future looks like for me.”
