Jaden Smith Is Bringing Along Tyler, The Creator, A$AP Rocky, And More On New Album Erys

Jaden Smith, going right now by just Jaden, instructed us a new album was coming in April. He released Erys Is Coming, an assignment with three songs, that, quite literally, instructed us the name of his new album and that it was on the way. So it should come as no surprise that Erys, his sophomore studio album, will be out on July 5. Ahead of its release, he's shared its first single, "Again" and it also gives a preview of where he's going. Step into the party past the thick metal double doors that drowned out the sound to outsiders, into the visceral arena of big-city nightlife.





Erys looks to be a massive sophomore coming with seventeen tracks worth of Jaden to obsess over. It'll feature Tyler, the Creator, A$AP Rocky, Kid Cudi, Trinidad James, and, his sister, Willow Smith. The initial four tracks are each named one letter of the word "PINK," so it'll interesting to be able to see how these tunes connect to each other.


Our first taste of Erys is "Again" which sounds like a fantastic locomotive chase. The tune begins slow and grows fast frighteningly quick, and all of its drums and percussive instruments sound like moving pistons clanging with each other rhythmically on the road to chaos. Jaden's plain voice has three different modes: a mopey guide-like stream of rapping is the initial, followed by a melodic, slightly metallic spitting fashion, then a sort of quiet hissing, like he's singing angrily through whispers. They converge for an insane maelstrom that serves because the sound of a lively night whenever it seems like the party that you're at never ends.

Jaden has more than music on his mind since he's recently been revealed to play a young version of Kanye West in Showtime's series, Omniverse. There's no set reveal of any time it's coming, although there's that to look forward into the future post-Erys. 


Listen to Jaden's new song, "Again" and prepare for the new album to drop above.
