It’s been two years since the release of Lil Nas X’s debut album Montero, and he’s gearing up for its follow-up. The Grammy-winning singer recently discussed his plans for the future with fans on Twitter and revealed his next album will most likely be out this summer.

Lil Nas X has been using Twitter to interact with his fans for quite some time, and he turned to this social media platform to share exciting news about his next LP. After being asked “when is the album coming”, he replied “most likely summer” and shared a few more crucial pieces of information.

Lil Nas X said he’s in the planning phase now, adding that he could easily release new music but he wants to build moments around each song because he has to go “bigger than before.” The singer also added he’s still in the studio making music and that he’ll have a hard time picking songs for the album because there are so many good ones.

Lil Nas X created quite a splash with his first studio album Montero in 2021, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. It produced chart-topping singles “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” and “Industry Baby” ft. Jack Harlow and brought him five Grammy nominations.
