Duo drops new single ahead of Scaled and Icy‘s arrival on Friday

Twenty One Pilots address the feeling of trepidation following a year of isolation and the desire to get back to more joyous times on their new song “Saturday.” The single appears on the duo’s upcoming Scaled and Icy album, which arrives on Friday.

Tyler Joseph sings about how days seem to blend together and feeling uncertain in the current climate and the need to find one’s footing once again towards happy experiences. “Slow down on Monday/Not a sound on Wednesday/Might get loud on Friday,” he sings over the effervescent melody and dance-inducing beats on the chorus. “But on Saturday, Saturday, Saturday/We paint the town.”

“Saturday” follows the duo’s previous LP releases “Choker” and “Shy Away.” Joseph and Josh Dun culled Scaled and Icy while in Covid-19 lockdown, with Joseph writing and largely producing, and Dun engineering the drums from their respective homes.

In conjunction with the album’s release on Friday, Twenty One Pilots will host their first livestream concertTwenty One Pilots – Livestream Experience, where they will live debut new songs from the LP. On Sunday, they are slated to perform during the 2021 Billboard Music Awards.

 

 

T.I. has been hinting at his supposed final album Kill The King for quite some time, and it now feels like that moment is getting closer. He recently posted a clip showing himself cutting off his dreadlocks while previewing a new track produced by Pharrell Williams, which has since been released as “Let Em Know.” The song comes across as tough and rhythm driven, tapping into the kind of bounce that has defined much of the Atlanta rapper’s strongest work over the years. It might not fully persuade everyone that he is operating at his absolute peak, but there is no denying the confidence and personality he brings to the instrumental, riding it with an easy swagger and infectious momentum. Now the focus turns to what T.I. ultimately delivers with this farewell project, which fans are hoping arrives sooner rather than later.   

Release Date: January 18, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: Kill The King

Quotable Lyrics from Let Em Know

Big dog, all we get is bread, I ain't never scared,
Big flex on a n***a head, what I'm standing on?
Business, big check, we done did that,
Pushing whips back, better give me respect and some more
