TIGERNATION is the second album from British recording aritst Tiger.

Background[edit | edit source]

Recording sessions for what would become Tiger's second album initially began in June 2022 as he prepared for his appearance on the Indigo Peak & Co. Stadium Tour, before being paused after Tiger welcomed his first son Lion.

Tiger then returned to IPR Studios in LA for further writing sessions with a number of collaborators from his debut album including Erik Lindstrom and Jordan-Lee Rose. He then flew back to London for writing camps with Connor Wilder and Knobfeelers. In an interview with Music Week, Tiger admitted he'd found the recording process for a second album "difficult" and felt a "huge pressure" to recreate the success of his first album.

Tiger's debut album had been delayed several times and was eventually released six months later than planned, keen to avoid similar issue this time, Tiger instead chose to 'surprise' release the album, announcing it to fans just one week before it's official release.

Release & reception[edit | edit source]

Tiger announced the album through his social media channels on August 16th, just one week before its digital release. In a tweet, he told fans "It's 2023, there's no rules, so why wait?". The album was launched alongside lead single 'Dance With Me' which featured Anders and TikTok singer Billie Marie, plus the collaboration ''Silhouettes' with Connor Wilder.

The album was released on August 25th through all official download and streaming stores with physical album formats including CD, Deluxe CD and Vinyl following in September.

The album's lead single 'Dance With Me' was deemed a commercial failure after failing to match the success of Tiger's previous releases, instead peaking at number five and quickly falling down the charts. A second release 'Bad Decisions' was briefly promoted but ultimately cancelled.
