New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Cynthia Erivo's new album has officially received a release date. After two single releases, the second album from the Wicked star, titled I Forgive You, will be available on June 6th. Worst of Me, her latest single, will drop tonight.
Previously teasing that the album would arrive this summer, the Tony winner made the announcement in an Instagram post. "Over the last 2+ years, between all the flights, the filming, the interviews, and the awards shows, I went to the studio with my dear friend Will Wells and created this project for you and me," she said. "This album, this collection of songs, is something I'm so proud to share with you."
I Forgive You will be the first since her debut recording Ch. 1 Vs. 1 in 2021. Take a look at her post below, which also reveals the official cover art.
In a previous interview, the performer revealed that a lot of the music has come from unique vocal sounds she can make, allowing her freedom to improvise and layer vocal lines over the melody. This allows the performer to create the music in real time without much written material beforehand.

For her performance in Wicked, Erivo received praise and numerous accolades, including nominations at the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards.
