Tobias Jesso Jr. has announced his second studio album.
Titled 'Shine' (stylized as 's h i n e'), it'll arrive through R&R next Friday (November 21), marking the Canadian singer-songwriter's first full-length released in over a decade, following up 2015's 'Goon'.
Produced by Jesso Jr. and mixed by Shawn Everett, the eight-track record is introduced by the newly shared single I Love You, a piano-driven ballad that builds to a dramatic, emotional climax. Head below to view the accompanying video, directed by Christopher Ripley and starring Dakota Johnson and Riley Keough.
