Multi-platinum superstar Lil Uzi Vert has officially announced the release of his hugely anticipated new album, βEternal Atakeβ available now via Generation Now/Atlantic Records.
βEternal Atakeβ β which follows 2017βs 2x RIAA platinum certified, chart-topping milestone, βLuv Is Rage 2β β was preceded earlier this week by βBabyPluto,β a short film directed by the acclaimed creator Gibson Hazard (Drake, Billie Eilish, G-Eazy).
Furthermore, βEternal Atakeβ includes the recently released songs, βThat Wayβ and βFutsal Shuffle 2020.β The latter track dropped last December and immediately proved a blockbuster, rising to #5 on Billboardβs βHot 100β β Lil Uzi Vertβs highest charting solo single to date. The mass success of βFutsal Shuffle 2020β was of course fueled in part by its irresistible signature dance, invented by Uzi and featured in the trackβs official companion video now boasting over 20 million individual views via YouTube alone.
Meanwhile, βThat Wayβ dropped earlier this week and was immediately met by wide-ranging media attention and critical acclaim. The track β which interpolates the indelible hook from Backstreet Boysβ classic βI Want It That Wayβ β is βa return to the shoulder shimmying, eye-rolling, singing Hayley Williams in the backseat of a car Uzi,β raved Pitchfork, βwhose animated personality made his meteoric rise possible.β
Acclaimed as an energetic and unpredictable live artist, Lil Uzi Vert will celebrate βEternal Atakeβ with a busy concert schedule, including performances at the upcoming Coachella Music Festival (Sunday, April 12th & 19th), Rolling Loud Miami (Sunday, May 10th) and PortimΓ£o, Portugalβs Rolling Loud Portugal (July 8th -10th).
βEternal Atakeβ arrives more than two long years after Uziβs historic debut album, βLuv Is Rage 2.β Currently certified 2x RIAA platinum for sales exceeding 2 million in the US alone, the album made an explosive chart debut upon its August 2017 release, arriving at #1 on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 as well as both Billboardβs βTop R&B/Hip-Hop Albumsβ and βTop Rap Albumsβ charts. βLuv Is Rage 2β showcased an array of hits, including the 7x platinum certified landmark, βXO Tour Llif3.β
