The wait is finally over! (Well, sort of) Lil Nas X officially announced the name and release date of his debut album MONTERO, set to be released Friday, September 17th, and we are so hyped for it! Last night he announced via Twitter by tweeting the trailer for the album, along with a message talking about how making it was like therapy to him.
creating this album has been therapy for me. i’ve learned to let go of trying to control people’s perception of who i am, what i can do, and where i will be. i’ve realized the only opinion of me that really matters is my own.

The trailer includes Lil Nas X portraying multiple characters in the trailer, some even referencing his past videos and insinuating that all of them are connected, confirming the existence, that Twitter user @barbliberation called “the lnxcu (Lil nas x cinematic universe).” Which honestly sounds so dope and we can’t wait to see more of it.

The album is set to have 15 tracks, with three of them already released as singles (‘MONTERO,’ ‘INDUSTRY BABY,’ ‘SUN GOES DOWN‘). In other words, the rest the of the track names remain unknown, and the current cover art is temporary; as Lil Nas X said on Twitter, the actual cover will be revealed soon!
