Kid Cudi is feeling Free. The Ohio native revealed the cover art for his upcoming Free album on Wednesday (July 9), which is set to arrive on Aug. 22 and heavily inspired by The Truman Show.
Like Jim Carrey leaving Seahaven, Cudi ascends into the clouds through a doorway in the sky on the cover of his project. When posting about the album, Cudder promised fans that they’re in for a “beautiful ride” come August.
“I wanted something that really expressed freedom, so the concept of me leaping into the clouds made so much sense,” he wrote. “Inspired by The Truman Show. I cant WAIT for u guys to hear this album and really see the album art brought to life. You’re in for a beautiful ride. Promise.”
Fans are excited for what’s going to be a busy rest of the year for Kid Cudi.
“I’m hyped for the album can’t wait for it will be celebrating my brother’s birthday and listening to free on his birthday too thank you for blessing us this announcement too,” one person commented on IG.
Cudi kicked off the rollout of Free in May with his “Neverland” single, which was followed by the premiere of his Neverland short film at the Tribeca Film Festival in June. Fans are in luck, as a second single, titled “Grave,” is set to arrive on Friday (July 11).
August will be a memorable month for Cudi, with his first-ever memoir arriving on Aug. 5, setting the stage for his Free album on Aug. 22.
