iann dior unveils ‘CYCLES’ and lead single “TATTOOS & U”, blending emotion with rock, alt, and hip-hop.
iann dior has released CYCLES, his latest full-length album via Big Noise, and it’s a fearless exploration of identity, growth, and emotional intensity. Pushing past traditional genre lines, iann fuses alternative, rock, hip-hop, and pop to create a sound that feels both fresh and deeply personal.
Under the executive production of John Feldmann (blink-182, 5SOS, Good Charlotte), the album reflects a stripped-back, authentic approach. “I wanted it to be less perfect,” iann says. “I stopped editing out the flaws. Some of the best parts were recorded in one take with all the emotion still on my voice.” His goal: to let the emotion lead, and let the genre follow.
“TATTOOS & U,” the album’s lead single, is already gaining traction for its punchy beat and addictive hook. The video, shot during his NYC tour stop, captures behind-the-scenes glimpses of iann getting a tattoo, performing live, and vibing between venues—bringing fans closer to his world.
Speaking on the broader meaning behind CYCLES, iann reflects, “I’m not trying to be the version of myself people expect. I’m trying to be the most honest version of myself, period. That’s what this album means to me.”
Following his North American tour, which included a highlight performance at Bottlerock, iann will hit the stage at Summerfest in Milwaukee on June 21 and Warped Tour in Long Beach on July 26–27.
CYCLES is available now on all streaming platforms—a bold, honest statement from one of music’s most dynamic voices.
