Montero, the debut studio album from Lil Nas X, arrived on Columbia on September 17, 2021, named for the man himself: Montero is his real first name. After the runaway success of "Old Town Road", this is where he shows how far his range reaches.
Musically it's pop rap with the doors thrown wide, a pop-punk streak running through it. Frequent collaborators Take A Daytrip steered most of the production, with Ryan Tedder, Kanye West, Nick Mira and Carter Lang among the other hands on the boards, and the guest list runs from Jack Harlow and Doja Cat to Megan Thee Stallion, Miley Cyrus and Elton John. Critics loved the eclectic sound and the hooks. Five singles carried it, "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)" and "Industry Baby" both went to number one on the Hot 100, and the album earned an Album of the Year nomination at the 64th Grammys.
