The album announcement follows his recently released single, a highly revered love ballad, “When It Comes To You,” and “Don’t Give It Away” feat. Chris Brown, which was unveiled earlier this year.
Yesterday, August 7th Fridayy shared a heartfelt note on Instagram announcing the project cover art and release date by stating, “This a special body of work. I put my heart & soul into it.

Since its initial release, “When It Comes To You” has amassed critical press acclaim from Billboard as a “must-hear” song of the week and UPROXX as one of the “best R&B songs of the week” as well as highlights from Rated R&B, ThisisRnB, Hot New Hip Hop and more. American Songwriter shared “everything about the singer’s appeal is put on full display and brought together in perfect harmony, literally and figuratively.” Last month, GRAMMY.com also unveiled a special live recording of the song by Fridayy made available to experience HERE.
“When It Comes To You” lands in the wake of “Don’t Give It Away” [feat. Chris Brown].
