In preparation for Montero’s release, Lil Nas X shared a promotional video for the album to his Instagram account.

The clip begins with the rapper walking into a greenery-filled garden while blindfolded and being disappointed when no one is present.

The performer then looks at gifts that had been sent by various celebrities, including Miley Cyrus, Doja Cat and Elton John.

The trailer ends with a shot of the back of the rapper’s head, and a title card notes that the forthcoming album is ‘due September 17.’

Lil Nas X began working on his debut album shortly after the 2019 release of Old Town Road.

The first single from the future release, entitled Montero (Call Me by Your Name), was made available to the public this past March, and its music video generated controversy for its content.

The track was followed by the debut of two further singles, Sun Goes Down and Industry Baby, which premiered in May and July, respectively.

Montero will feature appearances from numerous guest artists, many of whom were named in the promotional video.

The rapper’s debut studio album is currently scheduled to be made available to the public on Friday.
