Indigo Tracklist
Indigo is Chris' ninth studio album and the follow up to October 2017’s Heartbreak on a Full Moon. The album has been teased since as far back as July 2018, when Chris got the word “Indigo” tattooed on his face.
The album was preceded by four singles: the R&B-centered “Undecided” and “Back to Love,” the Nicki Minaj and G-Eazy-assisted “Wobble Up,” and the long-awaited reunion with Drake, “No Guidance.”
In early May 2019, Chris revealed the album’s featured artists in a series of Instagram stories. Guest features include Tyga, Justin Bieber, Drake, and Lil Wayne.
On May 5, 2019, his 30th birthday, Chris revealed that the album would contain 30 songs to correspond with his age. On May 14, Chris posted the album’s official artwork and revealed that it would be a double album.
The initial release date was June 21, but Chris stated that it could be delayed a week. Then, on May 29, Chris shared a picture of his newly wrapped car, which confirmed the release date to be June 28. On June 4, Chris revealed the tracklist and complete album credits.

Why is the album called "Indigo"?
In a now-deleted Instagram post, Chris shared the below image about being an indigo child:
According to Lonerwolf, where the image originates, an indigo child is:
a person who has come into this world destined to create change and spiritually awaken humanity. Indigo children are considered to be freethinkers with profound insight into the human condition and an ability to see the truth clearly. As spiritually gifted old souls, indigo children find it hard to fit into mainstream society and often become misunderstood, rejected, or misdiagnosed and medicated. The indigo child is also thought to possess strong intuition and varying spiritual gifts such as the ability to communicate with spirit guides or see visions.
Indigo is a dark blue shade in color, and the album also contains several tracks named after colors: the title track, “Emerald”—a bright green—“Burgundy”—a dark red—and “Red.”
