Brent Faiyaz capped off the week with a welcome surprise.
On Thursday morning, fans began speculating that the R&B singer was preparing to drop Larger Than Life, a previously unannounced project that appeared on Spotify’s international pages. After word of the release began circulating online, Faiyaz took to Instagram to share a cinematic teaser confirming the release.
“14 songs. Midnight,” the 28-year-old wrote in the caption.
The body of work includes the Coco Jones-assisted single “Moment of Your Life” and “WY@,” as well as guest appearances by ASAP Rocky (“Outside All Night”), Missy Elliott (“Last One Left”), ASAP Ant (“On This Side”), and Babyface Ray (“Belong to You”). It also arrives more than a year since Faiyaz announced his ISO Supremacy Creative Agency with UnitedMasters.
Larger Than Life marks Faiyaz’s first official project under the independent banner, and his first full-length release since last year’s Wasteland. The platinum-certified project, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, delivered 19 cuts with contributions by Tyler, the Creator, Drake, the Neptunes, Alicia Keys, and more.
You can stream Larger Than Life now on all major platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify.
Faiyaz is currently overseas for his Fuck the World It’s a Wasteland Tour. His last European stop will take place on Nov. 19 in Paris. He will resume the trek on Jan. 9 in Melbourne, followed by shows in Sydney, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
