Bryson Tiller recently credited depression as one reason why his sophomore album True To Self, which was released in May 2017, didn’t do well “statistically.”
Tiller’s statement on his experience with depression came roughly one week after a back-and-forth between himself and several fans on Twitter. One fan even said the singer “fell off” musically.

According to Tiller, he was depressed before True To Self was made and it played a role in the final product for his sophomore effort.

Tiller previously referenced being in a “dark place” during a December 2017 interview with Tim Westwood.

“I was in a dark, dark place after TRAPSOUL, so I don’t know, I wanted to start over and I just don’t feel like I made it yet,” Tiller said.
Despite Tiller referencing underperforming statistics, his breakthrough album TRAPSOUL only sold 22,000 copies in its first week compared to True To Self moving more than double that amount with 47,000 copies sold. True To Self also debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
