Travis Scott’s highly anticipated fourth studio album, “Utopia,” has been the talk of the music industry for months. The Grammy-nominated rapper and record producer has been hard at work on the album, which he has described as “a new world, a new era.”
“Utopia” Teaser and Delay
Travis Scott initially teased “Utopia” for the first time in late summer 2020, when he posted a handwritten note on Twitter that read: “Happy Astroversary a 2 year ride that’s still one of my favorites!!! Album means so much to me!! To every one that bumps and rages to that soundtrack I love you. Let’s keep the ride going see you in Utopia.” However, following the horrific incident that occurred at Scott’s Astroworld Festival, which saw ten people killed and multiple injuries during his set, it was expected that the album’s release would be delayed out of respect for those affected by the incident.
Singles and Critical Acclaim
Despite the delay, Scott has continued to release singles from the album. On Sunday 15th May, he performed at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards, debuting a new track called “Lost Forever” as well as “Mafia.” These singles, along with “The Plan” and “FRANCHISE,” have received widespread critical acclaim and debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. “The Plan,” in particular, has garnered attention for its use of a sample from the film “Interstellar” and its references to Scott’s relationship with his daughter and ex-partner Kylie Jenner.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Scott spoke about the personal and emotional nature of the album, stating that “Utopia” is “about finding myself and finding peace and figuring out how to deal with everything that’s going on in the world and inside me.” He also revealed that the album will feature collaborations with artists like Kid Cudi and Rosalía.
