Cotillions is the third solo album by American musician and Smashing Pumpkins vocalist Billy Corgan (under his full name, William Patrick Corgan).[7] It was released on November 22, 2019.[8] The songs on the album were reportedly written in 2017 during a month-long journey Corgan took across America.[9] There was enough material to allow for a 17-track double album.[10] Corgan has said this album is a "true labor of love" in an Instagram post about Cotillions, expressing his gratitude towards his fans and his disdain of the mass media, while also being grateful of living in a "different world", where "an artist can speak directly to you without the filter of mass media shaping your heart and opinions before you've even had a chance to decide whether this music speaks to you."[11]
