Release Date For New Eminem Album

• 6th Mar 2009

Universal have confirmed that Eminem's new album 'Relapse' will be out in May, and as if that wasn't enough to be getting on with another long player called 'Relapse 2' will be released later this year.

It was originally thought Eminem's first album since 2004 would be out last year, but then it kept getting pushed back. Responding to that fact, Eminem said this week: “A lot of people were expecting 'Relapse' to drop last year. I was one of them. Then Dre and I went back in the studio in September for a few days, and that turned into six months. We were on such a roll; we wound up with a ton of new music produced by Dre. Putting out 'Relapse 2' will let everyone get all of the best stuff”.

'Relapse 1' will be out on 18 May, with an as yet unconfirmed single release to precede it on 7 Apr.
