"As the world burns, I have decided to release this album. Thanks for listening." - Vince Staples. Kicking off the most independent phase of his career to date, Vince Staples has announced the impending release of Cry Baby, a ten song album set for release June 5th in partnership with Loma Vista Recordings. Firmly established as a generational talent, across his career Staples has consistently expanded his reach across music, film, and television; but it’s within music that he continues to sharpen his edge as a singular storyteller and cultural force. Following the deeply introspective lens of Ramona Park Broke My Heart, a melancholic homage to his hometown, and Dark Times, which pushed even further inward, Cry Baby turns outward, processing the endlessly repeating cycles of American tumult and reflecting them back with sharply honed clarity and intent. The announcement was preceded by a thought provoking video for lead single “Blackberry Marmalade” this past Saturday, which Vince presented directly to fans first via Discord and his YouTube channel. Beyond the lyrics and subject matter, Cry Baby signals a bold musical and sonic shift as well. Staples built each track around live instrumentation, underscoring the album’s immediacy and urgency. The result is a dynamic, confrontational body of work that captures the tension, absurdity, and emotional weight of America - an album that doesn’t just document the times and its precedents, but actively wrestles with them.
