Actually it will be a surprise release but not a surprise release at the same time. It will drop on TIDAL as a surprise but it will be on iTunes a week later so the TIDAL release will be like an announcement for %99.9 of the potential buyers and fans.
It's actually good that there are rumors that it's a surprise release because then people will actually know it got released then they will buy it. Maybe ha team are pulling a few tricks and letting these rumors spill so they will get more sales
the current situation reminds me of it.
Something is not working out even here.
