On Friday, November 3rd, 2023, German arts and culture magazine Numéro Berlin published a new interview with Playboi Carti to give his fans a little insight into the creative process behind the new album he's working on. Carti describes how he spent 3 months recording Music in a cave and what specific sounds came out of those sessions.
"I really try to stay out my head, I try to stay out my phone and I just try to lock in," Playboi Carti tells Numéro Berlin regarding his current musical mind state. "I'm in my surroundings. I've been recording in Paris. I love Paris. I was recording in a cave for like three months and all the music that came out of that is just chaotic and crazy."
Carti continues: "Then, I'm in a glass house somewhere in the hills and the music there is just very good to the ears. And then, I'm in Atlanta and the tensions are just high and the music is biting. So, it's the little things like that that keep me going, because I'm just trying to talk to myself."
Playboi Carti has announced that his next project, Music, is dropping "ASAP." according to a fan interview in July 2023.
On December 7th, 2023, Playboi Carti posted on his Instagram story a picture of him in Italy, alongside a picture that reads, "I AM MUSIC." This album teaser was reposted by producer and artist Pharrell Williams on X, and Carti reposted that repost onto his Instagram story.
"THE MUSIC YOU ARE WAITING FOR WILL BE DELIVERED IN JANUARY"
"The guy is ready, he's ready to deliver. I gotta be honest with y'all. Unfortunately, Playboi Carti will not be dropping at midnight."
