TM is the eighth and final studio album by American hip hop boy band Brockhampton. It was released on November 18, 2022, one day after the release of the group's previous studio album The Family , through RCA and Question Everything. For its entire rollout, The Family was advertised as the band's final album. A surprise release, TM was announced for release alongside a promo image for The Family, and was billed by the band as a "parting gift for fans". [1]
The album was executively produced by Brockhampton member Matt Champion, marking Champion's first production credit on a Brockhampton project and making TM one of two Brockhampton albums (along with The Family) where Kevin Abstract did not serve as an executive producer or creative director. [1] [2] TM is also the only Brockhampton record to not feature vocalist and producer Bearface.
The Family had been advertised as the final studio album from Brockhampton. Despite this, in a promo image posted to social media alongside the release of The Family, the band announced surprise album TM in small text towards the bottom of the image, reading "Surprise album (TM) midnight local." [3]
Stated in a press release, TM is "an album made up of songs that were started by the group during a two-week stint in Ojai, California in 2021, but were never fully completed during those sessions." The album is executively produced by Brockhampton member Matt Champion. [1] [2] Although he is credited on the album, TM features no vocals or production credits from group member Bearface.
"Keep It Southern" and "Man on the Moon" were previously teased as part of the band's Technical Difficulties livestreams in 2020.
