Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 2 is the second and final studio album by American hip-hop recording artist Lil Peep. It was released on November 9, 2018 through Columbia Records. As his first posthumous release, the album comes after Lil Peep died from a drug overdose just months after the release of his debut studio album, Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 1 in August 2017. The record was primarily produced by Smokeasac and the production trio IIVI. Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 2 was delayed due to Lil Peep's death in November 2017, almost a year before the album was released[1][citation needed] but was thrown into contention following the acquisition of Peep's music by Columbia Records in 2018.[2]

On October 18, 2018, the album's lead single "Cry Alone" was released alongside a music video which revealed the release date on November 9, 2018.[3][4]

Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 2 debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200, selling over 81,000 album-equivalent units (including 43,000 pure album sales) in its first week of sales. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics.

Background

Following Lil Peep's death, his label and family began to back up his Macbook Pro laptop which included recordings from the Come Over When You're Sober sessions. The project was first backed up in the headquarters of First Access Entertainment in London before his secondary laptop being backed up in an Apple store by his mother Liza Womack.[5]

His producer Smokeasac revealed that Peep had made several unreleased songs, ones specifically made for a possible sequel to his debut album entitled Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 1. In a tweet shortly after Peep's death, Smokeasac tweeted that he and Peep made "beautiful music" during 2017 and that he still has unreleased music from him.[1]

In February 2018, Smokeasac tweeted a confirmation that the album is coming, but would be released when the "time is right".[6] The release date was later confirmed to be November 9, 2018.[4]

Music and lyrics

As was the case on previous records, Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 2 is built on a brooding mixture of hip-hop, emo rock, and pop punk.[7][8][9] Lil Peep's songwriting continues down his lane of honest, vulnerable lyrical themes as the album's subject matter harbors reflections on heartbreak and addiction.[7][10] Its dark lyrical concerns are insular, immersed in self-loathing and contemplations of death and suicide.[10]

Musically, Come Over When You're Sober Pt. 2 is less abrasive and bombastic in comparison to its predecessors.[10][11] Whereas his previous releases featured him rapping over gothic trap beats and harsh, swelling guitars, the sophomore album gravitates more towards Lil Peep's somber tendencies.[10][11] Its musical compositions are predominately driven by alternative-rock guitar and moaning backing vocals. The songs express mid-tempo guitar riffs written in minor-key and composed into four-note melodies.[11] They serve to compliment the melancholic vibe of its lyrical content.[11] The dysphoric record production is drenched in reverberation and low-pass filters, giving the tracks a cinematic atmosphere.[11] Lil Peep vocal style features his signature blend of singing and rapping.[10] He sings evocative lines laced with visceral melodies in a plainspoken voice.[11] His monotone delivery ranges from urgent to longing to lamentful, often lapsing into crooning for hooks.[10]

Lyrically, Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 2 centers around the topic of death, primarily the one Lil Peep envisions for himself.[10] Lil Peep frequently ruminates the concept of his death through song, obsessively documenting thoughts on his inevitable passing.[7][10] Moverover, the album's emotive lyrical content radiates with a plainspoken depiction of deep depression.[11] His lyrical approach involves bleak accounts of a harrowing and hopeless struggle.[7] Throughout the album, there are moments that demonstrate Lil Peep's relationship with self-expression and self-destruction.[7] His songwriting touches on intimacy and codependency in relationships as well as issues with substance abuse, with lyrics that are often wry, deadpan and emphatic. He places banalities alongside poignant observations, emulating the dynamics of actual conversation.[11]

Singles

On October 17, 2018, Lil Peep's estate confirmed on his social media that the lead single off the album,"Cry Alone", would be released on October 18, 2018. The day of the single release, the estate confirmed a release date for the album of November 9, 2018. A "Cry Alone" video shot in May 2017 in San Francisco by Max Beck was released the same day as the single.[12][13]

Two weeks later, the second single, "Runaway", was officially released on Lil Peep's birthday on November 1, 2018. The accompanying video was directed by Steven Mertens and Liza Womack, Lil Peep's mother.[14]

Two days before the release of the album, on November 7, 2018, the third single "Life is Beautiful" was released. Originally featured on the 2015 Feelz EP, the song was remixed by Smokeasac and IIVI. The accompanying video features a younger Peep recording of him singing the song to a webcam.[15]

The bonus tracks "Falling Down" and "Sunlight on Your Skin", essentially the same song but with a different featured artist on each version, were released as singles on September 19 and September 27, 2018 respectively.

Release and promotion

A documentary to accompany the album was announced by Peep's estate in a New York Times article written by Jon Caramanica. It would be produced by Terrence Malick, best known for directing the films Badlands, Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line. The documentary may have an additional soundtrack in addition to Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 2.[5]

The sombre project is blistered and broken in all the right ways."[21]
