This is the final component of his "Lovers Holiday" trilogy.

A month after releasing his single "Seals," Theophilus London dropped a five-track project titled Lovers Holiday III. The EP is comprised of various versions of "Seals," including a solo, interlude, and instrumental. For the last two versions, London brings in rapper Lil Yachty for the remix, and the two are joined by R&B single Ian Isiah for the track's reprise. Lovers Holiday III marks the completion of London's trilogy of projects by the same name.

Lil Yachty's remix is a smooth, trap version of the original, while the reprise with all three artists is a dreamlike sonic adventure for the listener. Earlier this month, London caught up with GQ magazine and recalled the moment he knew he wanted to become a musician. "It was around 2004-2005, when I heard my first professional recording played back to me," he said. "After that, I wanted to have more control over everything, not only the rap parts. Prior to that, I had only worried about the rap part and had let producers control the music."

London also recently announced that his forthcoming album, Bebey, will arrive sometime this year.
