Philadelphia-based artist Fridayy has released his third studio album, titled ‘Tension’, through Def Jam Recordings. The 12-track project blends contemporary R&B, hip-hop, and melodic songwriting, incorporating Caribbean influences that reflect the artist’s Haitian roots.

Themes of the album include love, uncertainty, desire, and personal growth. Fridayy described the project as being about ‘the space between where you are and where you want to be.’

The album features guest appearances from artists such as Fireboy DML, Giveon, Summer Walker, Don Toliver, and Maverick City Music. It concludes with the track ‘Death Do Us Part’, a collaboration with Mariah The Scientist. This release follows Fridayy’s previous success with the album ‘Some Days I’m Good, Some Days I’m Not’ and his four Grammy nominations.
