The Kid LAROI Unveils Release Date for New Album "The First Time"

Australian singer-songwriter and rapper The Kid LAROI is gearing up to release his debut studio album, "The First Time".

The musician sat down with "Audacy Check In" to discuss his recently released collaboration with K-Pop star BTS' Jungkook and British rapper Central Cee, “Too Much.”

The track was dropped alongside a music video that features the three musicians and serves as LAROI’s latest taste of his forthcoming album.

“This one just felt so fun and so different, and we knew if we could really find this out, it could be cool vibes for the album. We’d been trying to get something in this world for a long time. This was something that just felt so right. Every time we played the demo, it just made everyone want to dance,” he recalled.

Over on Instagram on Wednesday, the 20-year-old star revealed that "The First Time" will be arriving on November 10. 

“It’s almost been 2 and half years since I last dropped a project and im proud to say that this one is SO much better than anything I’ve ever released… ever,” he wrote alongside the album’s cover art, in which he’s seen lounging on a plastic white chair, staring blankly ahead with a mask resting on his stomach. 

“Thank you for sticking around this long and I’m sorry that sometimes it’s hard being a supporter of mine. I’ve had a lot of different experiences these past couple of years and life has been nothing short of insane. There’s no record or song or lyric that could ever fully describe to you what it’s been like but I hope this album gives you a slight idea! Extremely grateful that I get to share this stuff with you all. I wouldn’t be anything without y’all so thank you again. I love you all beyond words.”

He added that his latest single, “What Just Happened?” will be arriving on Friday, October 27. 

"The First Time" will follow LAROI’s debut mixtape, "F*ck Love". The mixtape’s Savage deluxe edition included LAROI’s breakout hit single “Without You,” Ft. Miley Cyrus, and the mixtape’s Over You deluxe edition included Justin Bieber's duet “Stay.”
