Bryson Tiller is back, and this time, he’s giving us a double dose.
On Wednesday, July 30, Tiller announced his upcoming two-part album, Solace & The Vices. According to a press release, each side of the record will explore different sounds and styles of music.
The first installment, The Vices, will arrive August 8. The Vices will explore Tiller’s “gritty, high-energy side” and offer a selection featuring Tiller’s sharp bars over melodic tracks. “With ‘The Vices’ I decided to get rid of my Vices completely and prove to myself that I didn’t need Weed, Alcohol, and all the other shenanigans to have FUN,” Tiller wrote in an Instagram post announcing the album. “I’ve been sober ever since.”
Solace is set to arrive later this year, and is described as Tiller’s “own personal therapy session.” The album navigates an emotional journey through growth, reflection, and overall, clarity. “When I was writing ‘Solace’ my number one goal was to treat it like therapy and say exactly what was on my mind, finding comfort during my times of sadness,” he wrote. “That felt good.”
With both sides of the album, Tiller emphasizes that he wants to create a cohesive story, as opposed to dropping a bunch of tracks at once. “Just know that this is a TRUE double album,” he said, “and not just 20+ songs that I wanted to share.”
Ahead of the album, Tiller has shared two new collaborations — “It Depends” with Chris Brown and “Can We Talk” with Tink. The album will feature production by Charlie Heat, Teddy Walton, Hitmaka, and Gravez.
This new chapter in Tiller’s career comes a decade after his game-changing debut album Trapsoul, which spawned hits like “Right My Wrongs,” “Exchange,” and the hit that jumpstarted his career, “Don’t.”
Tiller is currently supporting Brown on his ongoing Breezy Bowl XX Stadium Tour, which is set to wrap in September.
