Travis Scott‘s highly-anticipated album UTOPIA has officially been released.

Clocking in at approximately one hour and 15 minutes, the 19-track record features guest appearances from Swae Lee on “Sirens,” Playboi Carti and Sheck Wes on “Fein,” Beyoncé on “Delresto (Echoes),” James Blake and Westside Gunn on “Lost Forever,” The Weeknd on “Looove” and the previously-released single “K-Pop” with Bad Bunny and 21 Savage on the closer “Til Further Notice.” Scott’s wide range of collaborations with producers such as Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, WondaGurl, Metro Boomin, Boi-1da and more allows the artist to dive into exploratory sonic landscapes and transform it into his own. UTOPIA’s final product is an elevated and cohesive effort from Scott, making the five-year gap between that and ASTROWORLD worth the wait.

Stream Travis Scott’s UTOPIA on Spotify and Apple Music.
