Denzel Curry has announced his plans to release his new album, Melt My Eyez See Your Future.
The rapper announced the new record in a western-style trailer that featured Curry traipsing through the desert. He also revealed the list of acclaimed names who feature on the LP, and he’ll be linking up with the likes of Slowthai, Kenny Beats, T-Pain, Rico Nasty, JPEGMAFIA, and Thundercat. Curry has yet to reveal the precise release date.
It was 2019 when we last received a project from the rapper, and this wait is unexpectedly long for someone usually so prolific. Last year, Curry spoke to LA Weekly about his upcoming plans and explained that the rate at which he previously released records had a detrimental impact on his relationship with his audience.
“When it comes down to making albums, the reason why fans weren’t getting that relatability to me was because I was just pumping them out real quickly,” he noted. “But they all stem from something. They all stem from some type of homesickness or depression or whatever the case may be. But now, I’m in a new mindset where I’m turning over a new leaf in a way where you’re not going to get that depression. I already talked about that; I don’t need to talk about that no more. Plus, I’m not even in that mindset. My life got relatively better.
“I’m gonna talk about the trials and tribulations I’m going through as a man, growing into myself. And that’s always gonna be relatable. Not everybody’s gonna relate to money, because people are broke. Not everybody’s gonna relate to having chains and diamonds, because they don’t have it.
“Not everybody is going to relate to having the finest car, because they’re driving a beat-up bucket or they gotta take the bus. So it’s just navigating through that world, in a sense. It’s just me being more relatable as a person, on a human level. And that’s how I’m gonna manoeuvre through the game.”
