T-Pain Says ‘Oblivion’ Is Dropping In November, Again

T-Pain hasn’t released a retail, studio album since 2011’s Revolver, which has naturally left fans of the man who revolutionized Auto-Tune looking for new material. It would appear the drought is over, as T-Pain revealed he’d be releasing a new, retail project during the fourth quarter. Saturday, he tweeted about his Oblivion album with a scheduled release date of November 17.

This isn’t exactly a new development, seeing as how Pain made the same claim back in August via an Instagram post.

You can also be forgiven if you didn’t believe T-Pain back then, seeing as how listeners have seen this story play out with Stoicville: The Phoenix and the T-Wayne album. Of course, Pain got so fed up with the repeated delays of the T-Wayne project that he just dropped it as a Soundcloud freebie. 

In between providing hilarious Game of Thrones commentary, supplying yearbook quotes, and acoustic concerts, T-Pain seems to be hatching a plan if his tweets from February are any indication. That series of tweets featured T-Pain explaining that Oblivion was originally a mixtape that the label decided to flip into a proper, studio album. And apparently, 2012’s independently released Stoic is not the same thing as Stoicville: The Phoenix.

“OBLiViON is the club,” T-Pain tweeted. “#Topsy is for the classic Pain with the new sound. #Stoicville is a short movie. This year is gonna be lit.”

Three projects in one year—including one of which is a short movie? That would indeed be lit and run counter to Pain’s release schedule from the last few years. Thus far T-Pain has release “Dan Bilzerian,” “F.B.G.M.” and the Blac Youngsta-assisted “Goal Line.” Per T-Pain, the latter is slated as his lead single with a video reportedly in the works.
