Gallant's debut album 'Ology' is coming

Gallant rose out of relative obscurity in 2015 after releasing a powerful, soulful tune 'Weight In Gold'. The Los Angeles-based artist is now unveiling details about his forthcoming album 'Ology', which is set to release on April 6.

His 16-track album calls upon ZHU for production duties and will include his previous singles 'Weight In Gold', 'Open Up', 'Skipping Stones' (his collaboration with Jhené Aiko), as well as a newly-shared track titled 'Bourbon', which he's released ahead of the album.

Of his new album, Gallant said: "I couldn't be more proud of this body of work and I hope people take it in a way that's as honest as I was when I was making it."

In addition, Gallant has also unveiled a global tour announcement that sees him landing anywhere from London to Chicago from March until mid-June. Several of his stops will be alongside ZHU, who also recently announced his own tour across North America. Hear 'Bourbon' and see his full list of tour stops below.
