    Released: July 2, 2019

Erys (stylized in all caps and pronounced "Iris") is the second studio album by American rapper Jaden, released on July 5, 2019, through MSFTSMusic and Roc Nation. It is the follow-up to 2017's Syre,[2] and features collaborations with Tyler, the Creator, Trinidad James, ASAP Rocky, Kid Cudi, Lido, and Willow.[3] The lead single "Again" was released on July 2.[4]

Background

[edit | edit source]

Following the release of his debut studio album Syre in 2017, Jaden announced the follow-up Erys in December of the same year.[5] In September 2018, Smith told Zane Lowe that while he likes "to do it all" and "experiment", "the people have spoken on what they like from me so I try to come really, really hard", describing Erys as a "strict, hard rap album". He went on to say that "every song, back to back, [will be] high tempo, [and have] a lot of bass like just crazy".[4]

Composition

[edit | edit source]

Erys picks up where Jaden Smith left off with the conclusion of Syre the story of a boy who is obsessed with chasing the sunset and until one day it chased him, and it ends up killing him. Erys is a now resurrected part of Syre. The album revolves around Erys and portrays him as a boy whose ego has gotten the best of him. During the album he's portrayed as an ill-mannered person who some might say is the exact opposite of Syre.

Promotion

[edit | edit source]

In April 2019, Smith released the three-track EP Erys Is Coming, and in June, debuted the song "Summertime in Paris" with sister Willow on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.[6]

The song "On My Own" was featured in the PlayStation 4/PlayStation 5 video game Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
