New Will Smith Album coming: Dance in your Darkest Moments


Recommended Posts

  • Admin

Looks like we have a new Will Smith album coming called, "Dance in your Darkest Moments."

Omar who does Will's music is using the hashtag #danceinyourdarkestmoments , Will has a new phone number you can sign up to get updates, similar to the old JJFP hotline which will probably alert you to the drop. image.png.e5b3504f7f5e8fce5c1c1804ea859393.png<- Also Will has changed his Instagram profile to this pic - which has also been updated in WIll's Spotify. Also Joyner Lucas has been talking about the music Will has been doing saying he's been sitting on it waiting for the right temperature to release it and for all of Will's people to be on board. Looks like things have been set in motion. I suspect it will be released close to Bad Boys 4 coming out.

If that's the album title, it's interesting. I gives the impression that there could be some heavier, series stuff mixed with fun, upbeat stuff.

Joyner Lucas says it is a lot more serious and Will swears on the new album. Sounds like it’s more for the streets. Also J Balvin says he has heard the album and wants to be on it. To be honest I’d prefer this over the Latino vibes or dance music like Get Lit Will was doing about 6 years ago. This sounds like a hip hop album. Of course no involvement from Jeff I always find bizarre.

I don't know how to feel about Will swearing on the new album. I got no problems with swearing but to hear it coming out of Will's mouth on a hip hop track is gonna sound weird to me. Also seeing a Will Smith album with the Parental Guidiance sticker on it will look strange. 

I'm excited though

I'm over the whole swearing thing. Guys - he's 55 years old. It was cute for the time but it wasn't really something for Will to make a big deal about. 

The title is weird to me. Almost fearful it's a pop title for an album. I just hope it's Will really rapping and going in hard. No more Latino vibes or weird experimental half-singing/half-rapping crap - just rap and spit bars! 

and....why ain't Jeff involved?? C'mon.

It’s gonna be straight hip hop Jim but more modern hip hop like Joyner Lucas and the Will remix not old school hip hop. I’m curious what the tracks will sound like I’m thinking probably like the Will remix.

I’m glad to hear that and I hope he’s working with some bigger name producers. I felt like he’s kinda shunned embracing more of the hip hop world on previous albums. You look at guys like LL working with Pharrell, Timbo and what not. I’ve always wanted to see what Will could accomplish with that level of production behind him. Trackmasters were fine for the hits, but for some real hip hop I wanna see him branch out.

Obviously I'm excited to hear new music. I'll remain open minded, but I'm not looking forward to a "modern" sound, if that's what he's bringing.  I can only associate that with mainstream urban radio, and I find that sound boring, even annoying. Lyrically, I welcome serious subject matter, but I don't want to miss out on his comedy and story telling.  I can't say I want to hear him cuss on the album much. I kind of share the mind state that his grandmother had; that makes someone sound common, less intelligent. 

It makes you wonder...what is his audience these days? I think it's safe to say that those who are checking for his music are generally looking for classic hip-hop, fun music, and something you don't have to second guess about playing around young people.  All I want is a classic JJ+FP record.

Wow, it's really surprising how this board has changed.  That's a super lukewarm reception to an exciting rumor!

I mean.. it's been almost 20 years since we were here all day & all night in the months (years..) around the Lost & Found release.

People moved on I suppose, and Will Smith career direction the last 15 years has made it impossible to follow him without vomiting.

But I hope everyone is doing excellent :)

I'm excited for the new album, but I think he really needs to go back to the more fun songs like MIB, Jiggy and Miami. The more serious/personal songs wouldn't go over so well IMO. And we've heard enough about his personal life anyway. In fact I'd say we've heard TOO MUCH about his personal life. 

And I really hope he leaves his family out of it.

To be fair, we've known he's been recording music, and we haven't gotten an official album announcement yet. It's like they are using the title as a way to create curiosity, as opposed to saying "my new album is dropping this _______".  Once the first single or something big happens, a handful of the regulars will visit and actually leave a comment.
