Dreamboy (stylized in all caps, as ‘’’DREAMBOY’’’) is the sophomore studio album by American rapper Lil Nas X, expected to be releasing in 2025[1] through Columbia Records. So far, there has only been one single from Dreamboy, the lead single "Light Again", with the second single "Need Dat Boy!" proposed to be released on November 22, 2024.
The production of the album will be primarily helmed by frequent collaborators of Nas X Take A Daytrip, Omer Fedi and Jasper Harris as well as Lil Nas X himself, Thomas Bangalter and possibly Ojivolta, Twisco and many others. Taking inspiration from the likes of Beyoncé and Daft Punk, ‘’Dreamboy’’ will be a pop rap record with influence from various other genres such as electro pop.
Background
[edit]Following the release of his debut album ‘’Montero’’ in 2021, Nas X started his Long Live Montero Tour which was followed by a documentary.[2] This tour acted as a goodbye to his previous Montero era and a welcome into his new "Dreamboy" era.
Release
[edit]Following the release of lead single "Light Again", Lil Nas X announced the title for his sophomore album Dreamboy on Twitter.[3] On November 10, 2024, a promotional video for Dreamboy: Phase 1 featuring the beat of his single "Light Again" was posted on his social media pages. On November 12, 2024, Nas X uploaded a trailer for phase 1 titled "DREAMBOY."[4] on his YouTube channel. where he was stranded out of sea before being met by his Dreamboy alter ego who opened a portal and rescued him. This trailer featured an upbeat sound that could possibly be the beat to one of his future songs on the album, this lead into a black screen teasing Phase 1: Ep.1: Let There Be Light, before displaying a To Be Continued. text followed by the Dreamboy logo. The next day, Nas uploaded a continued version of this on his YouTube channel titled "YOU ARE EVERYTHING!" Starting in the same way the previous trailer ended, Lil Nas X falls through the same portal before a somber piano ballad begins with him rising from the ground in a white suit, referencing his Sun Goes Down music video.[5] This is then followed by a narrative by his Dreamboy alter ego walking over towards Nas in a suit, who is looking at his previous stories, worlds he has created and dreams. The beat for Light Again then begins as a screen of Dreamboy emailing his contacts about a party at his house that night, teasing the Light Again music video.
Some tracks were teased through a secret Twitter account called "dreamboy2006". This included Track 9. "Percocet Lovers", Track 13. "Light Again" and Track 5. "Hot Box".
