Glory Sound Prep is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Jon Bellion. The album was released on November 9, 2018, through Visionary Music Group and Capitol Records.[2] It was supported by three official singles: "Conversations with My Wife", "JT", and "Stupid Deep". The album was announced via Bellion's Twitter on October 10, 2018.[3]
Background and release
On January 25, 2018, Bellion teased a snippet of an upcoming song on an Instagram video. On April 16, Bellion began teasing his next album with 4 pictures captioned with "GSP". He later changed the name of his Instagram to the name of his touring group, "Beautiful Mind".
On October 9, Bellion posted a photo to his social media accounts from "GSP Staff", stating: "Tomorrow, Headmaster Stormzy requests your presence for an orientation ceremony in the main atrium. Time: 3:00 pm EST."[4] The following day he announced his second studio album Glory Sound Prep on his Twitter account, set to be released on November 9.[3] On October 17, he released a preview on his social media accounts of the first single from the album, "Conversations with My Wife", which was released two days later.[5][6] The following week, he released a preview on his social media accounts of the second promotional single, "JT", and released it on October 26.[7] "Stupid Deep", the third promotional single from the album, was released on November 2.[8]
In a 2019 Genius: For the Record Interview with Rob Markman, Jon explained that Glory Sound Prep is also the name of a production group composed of himself, Mark Williams, and Raul Cubina.[9] He also explained that he decided not to heavily promote the album as a result of being tired from promoting his previous album, The Human Condition. He claimed he felt it was more valuable to leave the audience to sit with and digest the album.
