Sonder Son is the debut studio album by American R&B singer Brent Faiyaz, released on October 13, 2017, through Lost Kids, Venice Music, and Stem Disintermedia.

[2] With no guest appearances, the album's production was primarily handled by Faiyaz, D-Pat, and Atu, the three members of Sonder, with assistance from Ben Free, Joey Lopez, Los Hendrix, Paperboy Fabe, and several other producers.

He revealed that initially, Sonder Son would be a concept album based on his experience of moving to Los Angeles, California, from his hometown of Columbia, Maryland, however, he scrapped because he'd "be skipping out a lot of shit".

He stated he wanted to leave the country to record his debut album because "being out there brought some different energy out of [him] that [he] couldn’t get in L.A.", and that "interacting with people who didn’t have nothing made me see that the shit I thought was important was insignificant".

So it was easy to put together a project so quickly when it’s a record about your whole introduction.While on the twelve-stop US Into Tour with Sonder, on September 19, Faiyaz revealed the album's official artwork, tracklist, and release date through his Instagram.

[9][10] Upon the release of the album, Faiyaz announced the pre-sale of his solo North America, seventeen-stop Sonder Son Tour, beginning on January 30, 2018, in Chicago, Illinois, and concluding on March 2, in Seattle, Washington.

[12] On July 18, Faiyaz released the Noah Lee-directed official music video for "Gang Over Luv" which "tells the story of a camera lens surveying questions of solitude".

He stated that "simple instrumentals and a melodic voice play secondary components to the story here," and that " Faiyaz reflects on his past dealings with family, friends, and lovers."
