The singer made the revelation in a social media post, describing the upcoming project as his last major attempt to make things work in an industry he says has left him emotionally drained.
“Honestly, this album feels like my last try. I’m giving it everything. If it doesn’t work, I may say goodbye to the music industry. I love music, but this cycle has drained me,” he wrote.
