About Confessions of a Dangerous Mind by Logic Album
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is Logic’s fifth studio album, and his second release of 2019. This project dives into digital culture and how different aspects of social media affect mental health. The album was announced on March 19, 2019, with a video for the album's title track. It was released on May 10, 2019, by Def Jam Recordings and Visionary Music Group. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind was Logic's second release in less than two months, following Supermarket in March, which served as a soundtrack for the novel of the same name. The album features guest appearances from rappers Eminem, Gucci Mane, G-Eazy, Will Smith, Wiz Khalifa, and DMV native Cordae, along with vocals from Logic's father Smokey Hall, who is credited as "My Dad". Meanwhile, production was handled by Logic's frequent producer 6ix, who serves as an executive producer, while additional production came from Cubeatz, DJ Khalil, Frank Dukes, Haze, and Illmind, among others. Despite sales being lower than those of his other projects, the album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, making it Logic's third project to reach the top of the chart as well as moved 80,000 units in its first week. Sonically, the project is rich in hip-hop, which was something Logic specifically addressed after the release of his alt-rock/pop project "Supermarket": Pre-release singles for this album include “Keanu Reeves,” the title track, and “Homicide,” a collaboration between Logic and one of his all-time favorites, Eminem. Before the album’s announcement, Logic teased the title with its acronym on the lead single’s cover art. The album's release date and artwork were revealed on May 8, via social media. The album's tracklist was announced the following day. On May 10, the album was released along with its fourth single, "Icy" featuring Gucci Mane.
