On May 27, Bryson Tiller shared via Instagram that his first double album, Solace & The Vices, is coming soon. The release features two distinct parts: Solace, which explores somber and vulnerable themes inspired by fall, and The Vices, delivering fun, high-energy summer tracks. While no exact date is confirmed, Tiller's upcoming tour with Chris Brown could offer early previews.
Album Breakdown
Bryson Tiller's upcoming project marks a significant evolution in his discography as his inaugural double album. Solace is described by the artist as a deeply personal effort, functioning like a therapy session where he expresses thoughts he typically keeps private. Drawing inspiration from the fall season—a time of personal transformation for Tiller—the album cover reflects autumnal tones. In contrast, The Vices shifts to upbeat territory with rapid-fire bars and vibrant summer energy. Its artwork shows Tiller wearing a ski mask, echoing visuals from his recent single 'Whatever She Wants.'
Tour and Live Previews
Tiller will join Chris Brown's Breezy Bowl XX Stadium World Tour, beginning its European dates on June 8 and moving to the United States on July 30, concluding October 18. This extensive run provides an opportunity for Tiller to test new material from the double album live, potentially giving fans a first listen to tracks from either side of the release.
Background and Recent Releases
This announcement follows Tiller's self-titled fourth studio album, released in April 2024. That 19-track collection included standout songs like 'Attention,' 'Ciao!,' and 'CALYPSO,' along with features from Victoria Monét and Clara La San. Additionally, Tiller hinted at his Brutal Industry brand, which may encompass anime, merchandise, and other ventures. Reflecting on industry challenges, he shared on Instagram Stories: 'Aspiring artists always ask if the hate gets to me. It used to, until I realized we're all in this together. Love, hate—we need both. Life is about balance and perspective.'
The double album promises to highlight Tiller's range, blending introspection with celebration in a fresh format.
