Bryson Tiller is gearing up to release his fourth studio album, and it’s going to be an R&B-infused reintroduction to the “Don’t” singer.
In an interview with Complex that was published on Tuesday (March 19), he revealed that the self-titled LP will drop on April 5 and it will only have one featured artist, namely Victoria Monét.

“I’m a little impatient sometimes when it comes to features,” he explained. “I’ll be in the studio and I’ll have a song with an open verse. I’ll want maybe two different artists on it and I’m just like, ‘I can rap too, I’m probably better than that person, so I’m going to just do it myself.’”
He continued: “But also I really just want this album to be about myself more than anything, so I don’t want to bring too many people in.”

As for why it will be mainly R&B, the Kentucky native explained that he “felt like now is the time to just show people what I’m capable of.”
“I felt like it wasn’t time to try to get people to believe in some new concept or some new world that I’m trying to create,” he added. “There’s a lot of different types of music on this album. Most of it is R&B-infused, but a lot of different sounds. If you love all music then you’ll probably love most of it. I wanted to show where I could go with it if I chose to.
“I could go make a whole album like ‘Whatever She Wants,’ or I could make a whole album like the song I have with Victoria [Monét], and there’s just a lot of different ways I could go. People love to just box me in and just say Trapsoul, Trapsoul, Trapsoul. I always say I’m very thankful for [Trapsoul], but Bryson Tiller is not Trapsoul. Trapsoul is Bryson Tiller. I made it, but that’s not my identity. That’s not who I am.”
He also added that this will be the last album he’ll drop “for a while” as he plans to take a aome time off from music to focus on his daughters and his love for video-game design.
