True to Self is Bryson Tiller’s sophomore album. It was released on May 26, 2017. The album was originally due to be released June 23rd, but Tiller surprised fans by putting it out a month earlier than expected. Bryson said in an self-interview on his youtube channel that True to Self is the biggest regret of his career. I was not being true to myself at all. I was too worried about validation. What other people though about me and whether be fans, whether be my friends, whether be my peers. I just wanted so bad for somebody to tell me that I was good. […] I spent so much time on that than own in and be better at music, just better overall. […] i was changing my sound and my approach because what they were saying about my first album. I just feel like the album was a bit rushed.
