Travis Scott has been building anticipation for his fourth studio album, Utopia, for quite some time now. In fact, the teasers date back to early 2022. Earlier this month, however, he took a significant step by allowing Houston Astros players to listen to the album. During an interview with Fox, Scott confirmed that the album is now officially on its way. While Scott may currently be focused on his music career, he already has his sights set on the future. In a feature for Pin-Up Magazine, Scott graced the cover. In the interview, he was asked to share something about himself corresponding to each letter of the alphabet. When it came to the letter "A," he revealed that architecture is his true passion. The rapper expressed his desire to apply to the architecture program at Harvard GSD (Graduate School of Design) once he is done with music. He did mention, however, that he plans to continue making music for a while.
Travis Scott also divulged his interest in cars, mentioning that he has a unique collection. Additionally, he highlighted drawing and visual art as his main inspirations when it comes to creating music. It appears architecture is not his sole passion, as he expressed the same sentiment for graphic design. The rapper also revealed that the person who has had the greatest impact on his taste and artistic direction is Virgil Abloh. Scott considers the late designer a true inspiration.
Scott Explains The Meaning Of "Utopia"
In addition to sharing his love of architecture, Travis Scott also shared his personal thoughts on the title of his new album. The rapper describes the word "utopia" as something that many perceive as unattainable and distant, a perfect state of mind. However, he asserts that he believes that individuals have the power to create their own version of utopia. Scott emphasized that there are people who experience a sense of utopia every day, even if they may not possess great wealth or extravagant homes. It's about finding contentment and fulfillment wherever they are, and that, according to Scott, is the most one can strive for.
From his remarks, it is evident that Scott has invested considerable contemplation into his upcoming album. However, despite his reflections, the musical direction and sound of the album remain a mystery. The anticipation builds as fans eagerly await the release of the first single, expecting to be impressed by what Scott has crafted.
