True to Self

Bryson Tiller

Nineteen tracks of rain-soaked R&B and trap-inflected introspection. A dense, nocturnal exploration of fame, fidelity, and the weight of expectations.

A dense, humid atmosphere of romantic regret and the isolating pressure of sudden success.

Moments Worth Listening For
The seamless transition from the rhythmic bounce of Money Problems into the slowed-down, hazy atmosphere of Benz Truck.
The way the rain field recordings on the intro set a literal and metaphorical dampness that persists through the entire tracklist.
The syncopated, dancehall-adjacent percussion on Run Me Dry that provides a rare moment of kinetic energy amidst the gloom.
