Lil Nas X’s New Album “Montero” is Filled with Heart, Soul and Amazing Features
The inspiring and expressive musical artist Lil Nas X was first breaking news back in 2019 for his one-of-a-kind hit song “Old Town Road.” That song is now the highest certified song ever by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) and is currently 14-times platinum.
On September 17, Lil Nas X released his first album, “Montero” and it is being enjoyed just as thoroughly. The album holds 15 songs and tons of vulnerable, heartfelt messages.
The Visuals of “Montero”
The album, which is actually Lil Nas X’s real first name, includes incredible artwork and multiple complex music videos. Some of these visuals include him in the recreation of Creation of Adam and photos of him being pregnant with the album.
His first music video for the album called “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” focuses on the theme of sin. While the video includes a thoughtful storyline, what viewers seem to take away from it is Lil Nas X’s lap dance on the devil. His latest music videos for other songs on the album have also kept an artsy yet provocative tone.
Features on the Album
Another aspect of this impressive album is the list of well-known artists Lil Nas X has featured on five songs total. These singers include Doja Cat, Jack Harlow, Megan Thee Stallion, Miley Cyrus and Elton John. Each song has its own flair that truly utilizes the sound and skill of each singer when accompanying Lil Nas X. Check out the list below of featured songs on “Montero.”
Track 3 – “INDUSTRY BABY (feat. Jack Harlow)”
Track 6 – “SCOOP (feat. Doja Cat)”
Track 7 – “ONE OF ME (feat. Elton John)”
Track 9 – “DOLLA SIGN SLIME (feat. Megan Thee Stallion)”
Track 15 – “AM I DREAMING (feat. Miley Cyrus)”
Album Success
While the album is already receiving fantastic reviews, Lil Nas X has already accomplished some impressive feats. He has won two Grammys, both for “Old Town Road (Remix).” One for Best Music Video and the other for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
“MONTERO (Call Me by Your Name)” has already won an MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year and for Best Visual Effects. Time will only tell what other accomplishments this new album will bring.
