Lazarus is the debut studio album by American rapper Travie McCoy released on June 8, 2010. McCoy announced his plans to pursue a solo career in early 2010, although he insisted that Gym Class Heroes had not broken up. After creating demos of melancholy and low-tempo songs, McCoy decided to abandon his early material and start over, as he claimed the songs were "too personal". He began to write more uptempo "party anthems" with lyrical themes of overcoming grief. Musically, McCoy draws from various influences on the record, including hip hop, reggae, and rock.
Upon its release, Lazarus debuted at number 25 on the US Billboard 200 chart with sales of 15,000 copies. The lead single from the album was "Billionaire", which peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. The songs "Need You" and "We'll Be Alright" have also been released as singles. Critical response to the album has been mixed to positive, with most critics praising the album's upbeat songs yet criticizing the overabundance of featured collaborations. Gregory Heaney of AllMusic opined that "Even though every track on the album isn't a keeper, it has some solid additions to any summer playlist and will definitely please fans of Gym Class Heroes."
In early 2010, Gym Class Heroes vocalist Travie McCoy announced that he would be pursuing a solo career. He denied rumors that Gym Class Heroes had broken up, asserting that "Since the inception of Gym Class in 1997, every member has had another musical outlet, if not three or four. This is just another one of those."[5] McCoy began writing new material while Gym Class was on the road promoting The Quilt (2008).[6] He had originally prepared to record an introspective album of "sad and somber" acoustic songs reflective of his state of mind following his breakup with Katy Perry and his addiction to painkillers.[7] However, he decided to scrap his early material and start over, calling it "too personal" and saying "I didn't want that to be my first look as a solo artist," comparing the album to Kanye West's 808s & Heartbreak (2008).[5][7] He relocated to Miami, Florida, to record new material and recover from his addiction, which helped him to create a more upbeat album because he "want[ed] to do something positive."[7] McCoy decided to officially call himself "Travie" on the album instead of Travis; he explained that he has been called Travie by friends and family for "as long as [he] can remember."[6] He believes that the new name allows listeners to become "that much closer" to him and to "feel much more comfortable with calling [him] Travie and being part of the family."[6]
It was a year in the making. We thought we had found the lane, then I started doing other shit. Now that it's done and I've listened to it a bunch of times, I'll say that it's got a pop appeal...the songs will appeal to a broader range of people as opposed to the hip-hop crowd or conventional [Gym Class Heroes] crowd.
McCoy "took a lot of time" with the track listing of the album to make sure the album was cohesive and felt like a "ride".[10] He said of the album's writing process "With any project, I just go in and blindly start writing songs and then find out which way we want to go with it. This one took a bit longer to find the lane."[8] Despite the album's long gestation period, McCoy was able to write some of the songs at a very rapid pace. The song "After Midnight" was written, recorded, and mixed in less than a half an hour. He began by recording himself humming the song's melody and creating a constant loop that repeated throughout the song, and then recorded his verses over the track.[10] McCoy also selected the guest appearances for the album quickly after writing individual parts of songs, choosing artists he felt would work best with the musical style he had in mind. The hook of "Dr. Feel Good" was written by Bruno Mars, and upon hearing Mars sing it, McCoy decided that Cee Lo Green would be a good candidate to sing the hook, as McCoy had idolized Green since his teenage years after listening to him on the song "Git Up, Git Out" from OutKast's debut album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik (1994).[10]
With Lazarus, McCoy intended to create an album of mostly uptempo, positive songs. During his time in Miami, he was exposed to EDM genres, which influenced Lazarus' sound.[9] McCoy stated "If you're looking for an introspective, in-depth look into my personal life or my deepest emotions, this is definitely not the record. It's just a record you can put on, turn up, roll the windows down, and drive around to."[11] He intended to save more personal themes for Gym Class Heroes' subsequent release, The Papercut Chronicles II (2011).[9]
Nathan Slavik of DJBooth.com called Lazarus a "smile-inducing, high quality hip-pop album from a distinctly creative and original voice", praising the record's uptempo yet dark songs.[25] Entertainment Weekly's Brad Wete gave the album a B+ and commended McCoy for keeping with Gym Class's hip-hop/rock style, calling the album "a summery set that serves as a nice break from Class."[31] Drew Beringer of AbsolutePunk enjoyed the album's upbeat songs and noted a departure from McCoy's earlier work, commenting "Full of summer time jams, it's hard to imagine this is the same guy who rapped about desolate times and experiences in his band's second album The Papercut Chronicles (2005)...This is not a world-beater by any means, but it shows some growth in McCoy as an artist and lets him get out his ideas before recording and releasing the next Gym Class Heroes album."[32]
However, not all reviews were positive. Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone gave the album 2 out of 5 stars, calling his crooning-style rapping "more unctuous than charming".[27] Blare Magazine criticized the over-abundance of guest appearances and likened the album to "a newborn child forced out of a hip-hop womb by 13 different fathers", while opining that McCoy still demonstrates musical potential.[24] Mike Diver of the BBC was highly critical of the disc, noting that "McCoy employs too many disparate styles...for Lazarus to hold any attention for more than a fleeting period."[33] Although Diver praised Cee Lo Green's "spotlight-stealing" contribution to "Dr. Feel Good", he referred to "We'll Be Alright" as "repulsive" and the reggae stylings of "Billionaire" as "horribly dated".[33] Andy Gill of The Independent felt that although the disc had songs with potential to be hits such as "Dr. Feelgood" and "We'll Be Alright", the remainder of the songs "expose McCoy's shortcomings" and the album is "unlikely to make him a household name".[26]
The kind of songs that have a happy chilling vibe. For example, I love Arriving Somewhere not here, but finds the second portion of guitar more appealing than the first portion. I don't know how to convey the mood I am looking for, but do please reco some songs.
The D They Put Between The R & L is a dense, tense, explosive, and novelistic record about life in Dublin now and in the last fifty years. It is huge and teeming with life and death. It is crisply and economically performed by Brannigan, Joe Chester, Julie Bienvenu, Anton Hegarty, Vyvyenne Long, and Steve Wickham. They perform in such a way as to frame and illuminate the stories Brian Brannigan is telling. These are songs celebrating people in the inner city and raging against lives being decimated and those doing the decimating.
Lazarus only ran in New York for six weeks last winter, and the songs weren't available for anyone to hear outside of those live performances until this week, when Columbia Records released the cast recording of Lazarus, along with three new songs Bowie wrote and recorded for the musical. The tracks, written during his Blackstar sessions, were among the final recordings Bowie made before he died of liver cancer on Jan. 10.
Henry Hey worked closely with Bowie on arranging and orchestrating the songs for the stage. In this conversation, he talks about how he and Bowie reshaped the music to tell the story and what it meant to work on the iconic singer's final project.

The news confirms earlier speculation that the album would feature songs from the world-premiere theatre piece.

Watch and listen to the song below:
Lazarus is a collaboration between Bowie, Tony-winning playwright Walsh (Once) and Obie-winning director Ivo Van Hove. The show features new songs specially composed by Bowie as well as new arrangements of previously recorded songs. Following an initial sell-out and extension, performances now run through Jan. 17, 2016. The cast includes "Dexter" and Hedwig star Michael C. Hall, Cristin Milioti (Once) and The Last Ship's Michael Esper.
