DREAMBOY. (stylized in all caps) 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!" releasing on November 22, 2024.
The albums production was 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, DREAMBOY. will be a pop rap record with influence from various other genres such as electro pop.
Background
editFollowing the release of his debut album "Montero"[2] in 2021, Nas X started his Long Live Montero Tour which was followed by a documentary.[3] This tour acted as a goodbye to his previous Montero[4] and a welcome into his new "Dreamboy" era.
Release
editFollowing the release of lead single "Light Again", Lil Nas X announced the title for his sophomore album Dreamboy on Twitter.[5] 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."[6] on his YouTube channel.[7] 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!"[8] 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.[9] 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".
