On the album cover there are no
release dates or anything linked
to the information of the dates or
how it will be released, as this is
an image released online via his
social media accounts we could
guess that the information will be
released on his accounts maybe
something on twitter. There is
also no other information linking
to anything other than hints to
what the songs are going to be
like and how the overall themes
to the album will be like,
(depressed tone / melancholy
beats etc…)
