THE FIRST TIME album artwork, The Kid LAROI
(November 10th, 2023) After increasing anticipation to a boiling point throughout the fall, The Kid LAROI proudly presents his anxiously awaited full-length debut album, THE FIRST TIME, out now via Columbia Records. Listen to THE FIRST TIME here. As a whole, the 20-track opus affirms The Kid LAROI as the game’s most inventive, infectious, and inimitable outlier. He threads together a simultaneously nuanced and expansive body of work powered by a signature hybrid of hip-hop, pop, alternative, and indie.
To celebrate the record’s arrival, LAROI shares the Cole Bennett directed music video for the new single and opener “SORRY,” with a nod to one of his first videos “Let Her Go.” As a soul sample rattles at the sound of 808s, he gets introspective with a confession, “Every day I wake up scared that it could be taken from me,” only to remind, “I ain’t sorry.”
The star-studded album includes friends and peers, including Justin Bieber who delivers a reflective recollection on “STRANGERS PT. 2 (Interlude).” The latter’s piano continues on “CALL ME INSTEAD” [feat. YoungBoy Never Broke Again & Robert Glasper]. The Kid LAROI’s warbling vocals hover over the beat as YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Robert each accent the track.
The album concludes on a powerful note during “KIDS ARE GROWING UP.” In a full circle moment, The Kid LAROI admits, “Growing up I watched my favorite rappers’ interviews, I ain’t believe ‘em when they said it ain’t all what it seems, but now I’m here I realize they were telling truth.”
Check out the full tracklist below.
Earlier this week, he surprised fans with “WHAT’S THE MOVE?” [feat. Future & Baby Drill]. He also preceded the release with “WHAT JUST HAPPENED,” “BLEED” and “TOO MUCH“ (feat. Jung Kook & labelmate Central Cee).
