Miguel has officially announced his fifth studio album. The R&B musician revealed the anticipated work CAOS on Tuesday (Sept. 2) with the title track released for fans only through his social media and his own S1C.LA platform.
The album itself is due on Oct. 23, 2025, which also stands as the Grammy winner’s 40th birthday, a date selected intentionally. As described in a press release, CAOS is the singer’s most daring and intimate body of work yet. Eight years in the making, the album represents a personal and artistic rebirth, explained as “Boldly genre-defying, the project captures the beauty and volatility of transformation—where destruction becomes creation, and pain evolves into growth.”
“i know some of you have been riding with me since the beginning,” relayed a message displayed on S1C. The track is opened with a Spanish monologue before transforming into an experimental meditation “waited a long time for this one. just wanted you to hear it first. log in and hit play – M.”
Miguel’s last album, War & Leisure, was released in 2017 and debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 chart. Rick Ross, Travis Scott, Kali Uchis, J. Cole, and more are featured across a dozen tracks.
“To rebuild, I had to destroy myself. That is the core confrontation of CAOS,” Miguel expressed of the pending work in a statement. “Through my personal evolution, I learned that transformation is violent. CAOS is the sonic iteration of me bending that violence into something universally felt.”
Ahead of CAOS, listeners can expect unprecedented access into the personal and universal chaos that shaped the album, with music and visual storytelling. The process aims to invite listeners to confront and harness chaos in their own lives.
