Lil Nas X teases release of debut album by revealing potential song titles online
From Call Me By Your Name to Titanic, they seem to be inspired by pop culture hits.
by George GriffithsLil Nas X has started to tease the release of his first album by releasing some track titles online.
The Panini hitmaker has been quietly working away at his first LP for the past year, since his commercial breakthrough with Old Town Road last year, which topped the singles charts in both the US and UK.
Old Town Road was succeeded by the release of Lil Nas's first EP 7, which contained collaborations with Cardi B, Blink-182's Travis Barker and pop producer Ryan Tedder.
Now, it appears that the viral star is getting ready to release his debut studio album and he's started drip-feeding titles of tracks to his fans.
Over on his Instagram throughout the weekend, the pop star posted a picture of a page that most fans are assuming are tracks featured on his upcoming album.
Although some words are covered, the titles include Call Me By Your Name, Titanic, One of Me and Don't Want It.
Call Me By Your Name (while, of course, also the title of the 2017 film starring Timothee Chalamet and Armie Hammer as star-crossed lovers) will be recognisable to fans, after Lil Nas posted a snippet of the song on Twitter over the summer that was praised by Rihanna herself.
With the new material, the star - real name Montero Lamar Hill - will be seeking to re-capture the success of Old Town Road, which topped the Official Singles Chart in the UK for two weeks and spent a total of 47 weeks on the Top 100.
