It's been a long time in the making, but Travis Scott's UTOPIA is finally seeing the light of day. The Houston native began teasing his follow-up to Astroworld in 2021. Unfortunately, the tragedy that unfolded at his annual festival that year catapulted him out of the spotlight for some time. Scott has since been able to successfully rehabilitate his image, going on to play substantial stadium shows and headline at Rolling Loud Thailand.
More recently, the father of two's efforts appears to be laser-focused on UTOPIA. He's taking no shortage of measures to protect and promote his album. He was spotted at Cannes Film Festival last week, where his luggage made headlines along with an identical one carried by The Weeknd. Scott has yet to confirm a tracklist or any features on the project. Still, seeing as he and the Canadian have collaborated before, we wouldn't be surprised to hear his vocals shine alongside the Rodeo rapper's when the album finally drops.
Travis Scott Spotted Filming Something in France
Travis was also shooting some footage for what appears to be a music video while in Europe. He and his crew hit up Nice Stadium for a busy day of filming. A few small clips were captured by bystanders and shared on social media. In one, Scott calmly sits on top of a car, several motorbikes revving their engines in front of him. It remains unclear what song the visual is set to accompany, but the 31-year-old's fans are excited to see what he's got in store regardless.
The "CAN'T SAY" artist recently explained to fans what the title of his project means to him. "Utopia is something that people feel is so far-fetched and out of reach, some perfect state of mind," he told Pin-Up Magazine last week. "But you create it yourself. There are people who achieve utopia every day. They may not be the richest people with the dopest cribs, but it’s a utopia wherever they are, and that’s the most you can have." Do you think that UTOPIA will be Travis Scott's best album to date? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
