El Dorado is the debut studio album by American rapper 24kGoldn. It was released on March 26, 2021, by Records, LLC and distributed by Columbia Records. It follows his debut extended play, Dropped Outta College, which was released in late 2019.[2] The album features guest appearances from DaBaby, Future, Swae Lee, and Iann Dior.[3] The album was certified Platinum by the RIAA in the United States in January 2024 for selling 1,000,000 units in the country.[4]
Background
The album's title was confirmed by the singer in September 2020, while the album's lead single "Mood" reached its peak success.[5] [6] [7] On March 15, 2021, he revealed the album's tracklist in a video. Four days later, he announced the album's release date along with revealing the cover art. That same day, he also teased a deluxe edition of the album by responding to a fan's comment on TikTok. He toured in support of the album; the El Dorado Tour began on November 2, 2021, and ended on January 27, 2022.[8] [9]
A digital deluxe edition with five additional tracks was released on September 30, 2022. This issue of the album includes the remix of "Mood", featuring Justin Bieber and J Balvin.[10] Additionally, it features collaborations performed by Lil Tecca[11] and Travis Barker.
Singles
The album was preceded by three singles. The lead single, "Mood", featuring Puerto Rican rapper Iann Dior, was released on July 24, 2020, and would go on to achieve success on several charts worldwide. In September 2020, while the song was in the top 10 in both the United States and United Kingdom, 24kGoldn announced that an album would follow the single.[12] The second single, "Coco", featuring American rapper DaBaby, was released on December 4, 2020.[13] The third single, "3, 2, 1", was released on February 19, 2021.[14] [15]
Following the release of the album, "Love or Lust" was sent to contemporary hit radio in Italy on April 23, 2021, as the album's fourth single.[16] The following week, "Company", featuring American rapper Future, was sent to rhythmic contemporary radio in the United States on April 27, 2021, as the album's fifth single.[17]
Four new singles dropped in late 2021 and early 2022, prior to the album's deluxe reissue on September 30, 2022.
Critical reception
Nick Catucci of Rolling Stone described 24kGoldn and his emotion as "sunny as he can be sad", comparing his sounds to American rapper Chance the Rapper on "The Top" and American singer-songwriter Post Malone on "3, 2, 1" and "Empty", the latter of which features American rapper and singer Swae Lee.
