Brent Faiyaz is gearing up to release the follow-up to 2022's Wasteland. The singer announced his next project, Icon, is set to drop on Feb. 13.

Brent revealed the news with a trailer highlighting the everyday lives of people in the DMV, and also unveiled the artwork — a closeup photo of his face with his eyes closed and thumb resting on his nose. Alongside both the trailer and artwork Brent wrote the word "icon" in 17 different languages, including English.

Icon will feature 10 new tracks from Brent, with Raphael Saadiq serving as executive producer. The project is being mastered by Mike Dean, whose credits include Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Travis Scott's Astroworld. It's now available for preorder.
