Yeat Releases Double Album 'ADL' With Star Guests as Early Reviews Skew Harsh

Early pushback on mixing and execution tests Yeat’s bid to reset his sound.

Overview

  • Yeat released ADL on Friday as a two-part album on streaming services.
  • The 21 tracks feature high-profile guests, with Elton John credited via a sample and appearances from NBA YoungBoy, Kylie Jenner as King Kylie, Kid Cudi, Grimes, Don Toliver, Joji, 070 Shake, and more.
  • Key songs confirmed by outlets include Face the Flame with NBA YoungBoy and Grimes, Lose Control with an Elton John sample, and Let King Tonka Talk featuring Kylie Jenner.
  • Early listener reactions compiled by music sites leaned negative, with many saying the album felt underwhelming and calling out muddy mixing and uneven execution despite strong production.
  • In a rare interview with Zane Lowe, Yeat framed ADL as a tone-setting pivot for his career, while a splashy rollout used a New York City taxi stunt, a Portland Trail Blazers event, and a Nike-backed box set and CD push.
