Victony did not begin 2026 expecting to make his sophomore album. When the process behind Starlife started in February, the initial plan was to produce a four-song EP. Then came “FRE$H,” which sparked a creative surge that quickly expanded the project into a mixtape and, ultimately, a full 15-track album, out today (Aug. 21). “It’s just been such an interesting process,” Victony tells Billboard U.K., reflecting on the organic growth of the LP. “But it always felt like it was meant to be this way.” By then, cutting anything was out of the question: “If I left out any song from this, it would feel incomplete.”
