Jul
Travis Scott, the Houston rapper and producer, has finally released his highly anticipated fourth studio album, Utopia, on July 28, 2023. The album is the follow-up to his 2018 masterpiece, Astroworld, and features guest appearances from some of the biggest names in music, such as Drake, Beyoncé, The Weeknd, Kanye West, Bon Iver and more. Utopia is a concept album that explores Scott’s vision of a perfect world, where he can express himself freely and creatively. The album is also accompanied by a film, Circus Maximus, which was released a day before the album and showcases Scott’s journey to create Utopia.
The Making of Utopia
Scott first teased the title of the album in July 2020, when he posted an Instagram photo with the caption “Utopia”. He then confirmed the title in a thank you letter to his fans on the second anniversary of Astroworld, where he wrote “See you in Utopia”. Scott continued to hype up the album on social media, changing his bio to “Utopia” and sending letters to his DJs with the same message. He also gave out custom-made Utopia chains to his friends and collaborators, such as Young Thug, Chris Brown, Wheezy and Mustard.
Scott started working on the album in 2019 and recorded it in various studios around the world, including Abbey Road in London, Miraval in France and Shangri-La in Malibu. He worked with a variety of producers, such as Kanye West, Mike Dean, James Blake, Metro Boomin, WondaGurl, The Alchemist and more. He also collaborated with new artists and experimented with different sounds and genres. In an interview with i-D in February 2021, Scott said “I want to make a fucking new sound. I might spend days banging my head against a wall trying to figure it out”. He also said that he was inspired by his daughter Stormi and his role as a father.
Scott released two singles from the album: “K-pop”, featuring Bad Bunny and The Weeknd, which was released on July 21, 2023; and “Delresto (Echoes)”, featuring Bon Iver, James Blake and Kanye West, which was released on July 28, 2023.
