This was the last album released in Tree's lifetime, as he died on June 14 in a helicopter crash in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, after performing in São Paulo the previous week while he was on his first world tour.[2][3]
Background
Tree stated that production for the album began in 2023, right after the release of his third studio album, Alone in a Crowd. Tree traveled across eighty countries and seven continents recording the album while experimenting with new sounds.[4] Before its release, Tree stated that the album would be his "hardest work" and his personal favorite, describing the album as "a reflection of duality, love and hate, chaos and calm, and everything I've learned travelling the world".[5] Tree produced and wrote the entire album. The album was almost scrapped due to complications with Atlantic Records.[6][7]
After a three-month hiatus, Tree hinted at the album's release date for spring 2026 and began teasing the third single, "Flowers", on social media before releasing the song and its music video on February 20, 2026.[8][9]
Promotion
The album's lead single, "Superhero", was released alongside a music video on October 10, 2025.[10] The second single, "Joyride", was released on November 14. "Flowers" was released on February 20, 2026; in the song's music video, Tree stars as a pilot.[11] On March 27, "Deep End" was accompanied by a performance video featuring Tree dressed as Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst.[12] "All You Ever Wanted" was released on April 10, with its music video filmed at the Didgori Battle Monument in Georgia.[13]
Tour
In May 2026, Tree announced a concert tour in support of the album.[14] Pre-registration for tickets opened on May 4, followed by artist presales on May 6 and general ticket sales on May 8.[15] It was marketed as the "World's First World Tour", with shows scheduled in all seven continents, including a potential concert in Antarctica. 67 dates were announced on May 4, 2026, with a kickoff date on May 30 in Mexico City.[16] The tour ran for four shows before the remainder of the dates were canceled on June 14, 2026, hours after Tree was killed in a helicopter collision.[17]
