Travis Scott has finally released his long-promised new album ‘Utopia’, and it features some of the biggest artists in the music industry globally.
The features include Beyoncé who appears on the album track “Delresto (Echoes)”, then Drake appears on “Meltdown.” Both Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon and Sampha are featured on “My Eyes.”
Daft Punk’s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo co-produces “Modern Jam” while SZA and Future are featured on “Telekinesis,” and then Kid Cudi appears on “Looove” (crediting Pharrell).
Additionally to his appearance with Bad Bunny on the previously released single “K-Pop,” the Weeknd and Swae Lee appear on “Circus Maximus.” The album also credits contributions from James Blake, Metro Boomin, the Alchemist, Boi-1da, Kanye West, Vegyn, and more.
This album comes at a very crazy week for Travis since his planned performance for his new material from Utopia during a livestreamed concert at the Pyramids of Giza was called off on the 26th of July over “complex production issues,” eight days after Scott had denied an earlier cancelation rumour.
The show is still set to be rescheduled for an as yet unannounced dates.
Scott recently revealed at Rolling Loud Miami that Utopia would arrive Friday, and premiered a trailer for the film Circus Maximus. He co-directed the film with Kahlil Joseph, Harmony Korine, Gaspar Noe, Nicolas Winding Refn, and Valdimar Jóhannsson. Though an A24 logo appeared on the movie’s official poster, the production company later claimed it was not involved in the project.
This is Scott’s first full-length album after the Astroworld 2021 music festival that took place in Houston, and the police called a “mass casualty incident” after eight people died and many others suffered injuries. A grand jury refused to indict Scott on any criminal charges over the incident, but the rapper and Live Nation Entertainment are still facing multiple ongoing lawsuits.
