Following the success of his debut single, \u201cI WANT YOU BUT YOU\u2019LL NEVER KNOW\u2026\u201d, fans have been eager for more. Luckily, it\u2019s here. Co-produced by Rory and featuring a wide range of exciting artists, the 13-track project takes listeners through a journey of R&amp;B, hip hop, and alt-soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting with a real intent, the opening track \u201cSurrender (ft. Emotional Oranges and THEY.)\u201d is smooth and soulful, a beautiful first chapter to&nbsp;<em>I Thought It\u2019d Be Different<\/em>. Continuing through the project, we reach the dynamic singles: \u201cNot Me (ft. RAAHIM and Shantel May)\u201d, \u201cMy Phone Can Die (ft. Ari Lennox &amp; James Fauntleroy)\u201d, \u201cEnough (ft. reggie &amp; Jay Electronica)\u201d, and the standout \u201cDon\u2019t Go (ft. Sinead Harnett and Pink Sweat$)\u201d.
