Plato III, has announced the deluxe release of his 2025 album Grown. Grown (Deluxe) arrives on September 25th and features bonus remix material including one from singer/songwriter, Bartees Strange. The announcement arrives after several months of collaborations with ELUCID, Open Mike Eagle, McKinley Dixon and more.

On “Marissa Remix,” we’re treated to a soulful reimagining of the Grown album track, built around Strange’s delicately paced acoustic finger-picking and crooning harmonies, while channeling a gentle R&B groove akin to P.M. Dawn. Retelling Plato’s (born Ryan Silva) farewell tale of an old grudge and letting go of animosity, Strange lays it on thick in the song’s pleading chorus, “Oh, Marissa, you don’t gotta be so rude. Oh, Marissa, what I ever do to you?”

Explaining why Strange chose the track “Marissa,” he shared the following: “I met Ryan in 2021’ish and I’ve always liked him and his music. He’s a wonderful artist. I felt like “Marissa” was a song on the album that was maybe a deeper cut for his fans – and I know from Plato that he has a lot of interesting feelings about this song so it felt like a fun challenge to bring something new to it. It was a lot of fun working on this together in my spot. He’s a really gifted and wild guy.”

In response, Plato III shared his own candid reply: “Wild guy? Me? That’s crazy, it was Bartees showing me Druski videos when I headed out to his spot in Baltimore. The original “Marissa” is a song that is really just for my own amusement, so when Bartees said he wanted to remix it, I had no idea what to expect. He can do it all, and on this one he turned my cheeky, juvenile diss into a proper ballad you’d want to sing along to. That’s something only Bartees could pull off.”
