The Kanye and Bon Iver collaborator goes solo on his sophomore album.

Francis and the Lights, the left-field pop artist known for his work with hip-hop royalty like Chance the Rapper and Yeezy, has released his new album with just a day&#39;s notice. Titled &quot;Just for Us&quot;, it&#39;s&nbsp;comprised entirely of new material that&#39;s completely collaboration free.

The 36-year-old first let fans know about the record yesterday,<a href="https://twitter.com/andthelights/status/946483445538152448" target="_blank"> tweeting</a>: &quot;I&rsquo;m gonna release an album tomorrow will you help spread the word?&quot;. Understandably, his followers&nbsp;had a mini-meltdown before he stuck to his word, unveiling the 10 track LP earlier today. The album cover, incongruously summery considering the album dropped in the middle of winter, depicts a swimmer clutching onto a sparkling blue poolside.

It&#39;s Francis and the Lights&#39; second full-length effort, following his debut LP &quot;Farewell, Starlite!&quot; which dropped in September 2016. &quot;Farewell, Starlite&quot; spawned the single Friends, which featured Bon Iver and Kanye West. In May of 2017, Francis and Lights signed to Kanye&#39;s label, GOOD Music.&nbsp;

Clocking in at a neat 26 minutes, it&#39;s a short record but doesn&#39;t need to beg for attention with a lengthy runtime; the last album release day of the year is a notoriously quiet one.

As a result, Francis&#39; surprise electro treat is the only strong new release you need to listen to, so there&#39;s no excuse for sleeping on it.

&#39;Just For Us&#39; is available on Apple Music and Spotify now
