Bryson Tiller Announces Self-Titled Album & New Tour
Bryson Tiller is back. The Grammy-nominated artist announced on Tiller Tuesday (March 19) that he’ll be releasing his self-titled fourth album on April 5 via RCA Records.
Bryson Tiller comes four years after his last studio album Anniversary, which was released on the fifth anniversary of his critically acclaimed debut album Trapsoul. Anniversary reached No. 4 on Billboard‘s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and No. 5 on the Billboard 200.
To commemorate today’s announcement, Tiller revealed the sci-fi-esque album artwork and dropped the LP’s first official single, “Calypso.”
“Calypso” arrives one month after his last single “Whatever She Wants,” which he originally released in November as part of his SoundCloud-exclusive Slum Tiller mixtape series that he dropped on “Tiller Tuesdays.” The “Don’t” hitmaker officially dropped it on DSPs in February due to all the traction it gained, and “Whatever She Wants” has since proven to be a commercial hit: The song has reached a new No. 19 peak on the Billboard Hot 100 and a new No. 8 peak on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs this week (dated March 24). “Whatever She Wants” also earned Tiller his first top 10 on Hot Rap Songs chart when it debuted at No. 8 earlier this month (it has since reached No. 5).
In tandem with today’s album announcement, Tiller revealed he’s going back on the road for a 31-date North American tour. Produced by Live Nation, The Bryson Tiller Tour will begin on May 11 at Portland’s Alaska Airlines’ Theater of the Clouds and go through major cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Atlanta and more before wrapping at the Washington State Fair in Puyallup, Wash.
Tickets will be available starting with various pre-sales on Wednesday, March 20. Additional pre-sales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale starting on Friday, March 22 at 10 a.m. local time on ticketmaster.com.
