Track three, “Been A Way”, brings into focus the relationship drama piece of this project as he pleads with an un-named lover to “stick around” and “be there” while he is trying to climb the ladder of success in his career. Faiyaz gets raw about his emotional state introducing a dark tone saying “I feel like dying every season” showing the detriment that fame and anxiety has had on him. This song provides quite a bit of transparency and gives the listener a glimpse into his state of mind as he expresses his doubts about his career impact, resonation, longevity and the mental and emotional price to be paid to have all of those things. The second track, “Clouded” introduces the self-reflection theme as Faiyaz reveals insecurities about being judged and acclimating to the R&B industry. This song touches on the big questions of the meaning of life as Faiyaz repeatedly asks the question “Do you know what makes the world go round.” Faiyaz sets the rest of the project up by emphasizing that this world is a series of cause and effect where every action has an equal and opposite affect on others around us. Track 1 starts the project off with an existential tone in “Skyline”. It listens like a stream of consciousness and features cult classic jazz influenced production and a hypnotizing delivery. This album is split into three pools of subject matters: relationship drama, self-reflection and the pursuit of money and success. This project has no features and unlike the first only contains one monologue where the first album has outro soundbites to almost every track of conversations between Faiyaz and his friends. “F*ck The World” has a total of 10 tracks, two of which were released in 2019 as singles including the title track and “Rehab (Winter in Paris)”. This project comes 3 years after his debut album, “Sonder Son” which served as a spin-off project and solo career launch following the release of “Into”, an album by the band, Sonder for which Faiyaz provides lead vocals. On February 7th, 2020, R&B singer Brent Faiyaz released his sophomore album entitled “F*ck The World”.
