Travis Scott returned with
UTOPIA (
Cactus Jack/
Epic), his highly anticipated fourth studio album, on Friday (7/28), elating his rabid fan base in the process. The 19-track effort is stacked with features by
Drake,
Beyoncé,
The Weeknd,
Playboi Carti,
James Blake,
Bad Bunny,
Future,
SZA and... We'll let you Google the rest. Needless to say, the star-studded project has
Twitter abuzz.
The follow-up to 2018's
ASTROWORLD,
UTOPIA has been supported by two singles: "K-POP" and "DELRESTO (ECHOES)."
Scott was intent on rolling out the album in epic fashion; in addition to five album covers and the accompanying merch store, he planned on unfurling his album-release party via a concert livestreamed from the Great Pyramid of Giza. While the event wound up being canceled over "complex production issues,” Scott has vowed to eventually bring it to fruition. "Egypt at the pyramids will happen... " he tweeted on 7/26. "I will keep u posted on a date, which will be soon."
UTOPIA reunites the artist with producer
Mike Dean, who's worked on every Scott album since 2013's
Owl Pharaoh. Other
UTOPIA production credits include
Kanye West,
Pharrell Williams,
Daft Punk's
Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, the
Alchemist and
Metro Boomin. Listen to the album below.
