Cole Drops Two New Singles And Announces New Album"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dreamville.com\/artist\/cole\/\">J. Cole<\/a> dropped two singles following a string of Instagram Story posts hinting towards an upcoming release. The singles are the first confirmed tracks on the southern rappers upcoming album, <em>The Fall Off<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Wednesday night, J. Cole made an Instagram post announcing the upcoming release of &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oVaBgcJwkI4\">The Climb Back<\/a>&#8220;, produced by Cole, and &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MxiSSSa5K2s\">Lion King On Ice<\/a>&#8220;, production arranged again by Cole aided by T-Minus and Jetson. <em>The Fall Off<\/em> will be Coles first solo project since 2018&#8217;s <em>KOD<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-instagram wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CC6mFLeFC02\/?utm_source=ig_embed\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first of the two singles, &#8220;The Climb Back&#8221; has J. Cole performing in his pocket, spitting bar after bar over a sparkling piano melody and a high-pitched vocal sample leaving plenty of room for Cole to switch up his flow which he finds himself doing several times. The song is missing a strong hook however, the understated vocals Cole croons out serve towards the emotional potency of the track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"J. Cole - The Climb Back (Official Audio)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oVaBgcJwkI4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second track released, &#8220;Lion King on Ice&#8221; is a J. Cole track by the numbers. Cole is again operating in his comfort zone; with an stripped back trap instrumental beat featuring similar pitched vocal sampling present in &#8220;The Climb Back&#8221;, Cole is able to ride the beat comfortably verse after verse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"J.

However, he is seemingly under little pressure to release the album because he has also made it clear he has no planned release date for the album. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information visit J.
