Don Toliver announces new album OCTANE

Don Toliver has announced his fifth studio album, OCTANE, out January 30.

Toliver first gained recognition in 2018 for a feature on the Travis Scott song ‘CAN’T SAY’, from Scott’s album ASTROWORLD. Toliver had released his own debut EP, Donny Womack, named after R&B singer Bobby Womack the day before, which, combined with his CAN’T SAY feature, helped to jumpstart his career.

Since then, Toliver has released four albums to critical acclaim, all of which peaked in the top ten of the Billboard 200. He has also released a number of multi-platinum singles.

Stylistically, Toliver blends elements of hip-hop and R&B to create what he calls “Trap & B”, and has named both Scott and Womack as major influences.

His latest album, OCTANE, is said to draw heavy inspiration from Toliver’s love of cars and rally racing culture. Recorded across a variety of settings, including his European tour, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Los Angeles, and Mount Wilson, the album is intended to capture Toliver as he is in the immediate present.

“It’s not in the future, it’s not in the past, it’s right now,” said Toliver.

The album is available to pre-save/order now.
