Travis Scott has shared the cover art to his highly-anticipated Utopia album along with a coinciding movie trailer hitting theaters later this week.
La Flame confirmed Friday’s (July 28) release date for Utopia and unveiled the third of five covers slated for Scott’s fourth studio album on Tuesday (July 25).
“THIS IS ONE OF THE COVERS FOR MY 4TH ALBUM UTOPIA SHOT BY PIETER HUGO THE JOURNEY THRU THE ALBUM TOOK ME ALL OVER THE WORLD AND CANT WAIT TO FINALLY DROP THE ALBUM

Fans appear to think Trav should pass on this cover and didn’t seem thrilled with the menacing cover art featuring individuals with significantly constricted pupils.
“Ya first miss with album cover out here remaking hopsin cover art smh,” one person wrote while another added: “i ain’t tryna see them scary eyes while tryna listen to utopia.” A follower even dubbed the cover the “worst” they’ve ever seen.
Scott will be adding a visual companion to Utopia with the arrival of Circus Maximus, which is separate from the A-24 film he’s starring in.
The Houston rager shared the trailer to the movie, which is hitting select theaters across the United States for limited showings on Thursday night (July 27) hours prior to Utopia‘s release to streaming services.
The 30-second teaser to the flick doesn’t reveal much besides Trav in various scenes, including one featuring him smushed in the middle of a moshpit while a blaring siren soundtracks the clip.
Scott kicked off the Utopia rollout with the release of the star-studded “K-POP” single last week where he joined forces with music titans The Weeknd and Bad Bunny.
It’s full-speed ahead toward Utopia on Friday, although it remains unclear if his concert planned for the Egyptian pyramids is still on course to take place.
