Lil Nas X Releases New Album MONTERO
Fresh off his MTV VMA win for VIDEO OF
THE YEAR and his show-stopping Met Gala debut, global phenomenon and Grammy
Award winning artist Lil Nas X has at last released his debut album MONTERO via Columbia Records today. The 15-track
album was executive produced by Take A Daytrip and features tracks with Doja
Cat, Elton John, Jack Harlow, Megan Thee Stallion and Miley Cyrus.
Upon its release, MONTERO
received overwhelmingly positive review from music critics. USA Today calls the album “an honest
portrait of Lil Nas X at 22,” and praises the A lister’s “willingness to dabble
in unadulterated pop, grimy rock and the rap-singing that has so far
popularized his career.” Variety lauds the record’s “genre-stretching approach
and refreshingly honest exploration of love and loneliness,” adding that it
just proves how committed the rapper is in giving “voice to the fears and longings
of a generation of queer kids.”
Launching alongside the album
is the official video for “THATS
WHAT I WANT.” The steamy and emotional
visual features a story written by Lil Nas X with direction by STILLZ and
includes a cameo from Billy Porter.
Nas also premiered new visualizers for
several album tracks, which all launched in support of a charity on his YouTube
channel. This is a continuation of Nas’ collaboration with the Gilead COMPASS Initiative®, which supports hundreds of
organizations working to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the Southern United
States.
Lil Nas X is also launching a very
special and exclusive merch collaboration with Jean Paul Gaultier on Monday,
September 20 at 9am PT. The items will be available on lilnasx.jeanpaulgaultier.com.
Lil Nas X’s new album, MONTERO is out now on all digital music
platforms worldwide via Columbia Records and Sony Music.
