Brent Faiyaz has expanded Icon again, releasing an updated Director's Cut of his third studio album with three new bonus tracks: "fallin'," "like it was." and "suave." featuring Dominican artist Tokischa.

The new songs join "full moon. (fall in tokyo)" and "1 for you. (spring in new york)," which were added to an earlier version of the Director's Cut, bringing Icon to 15 tracks total; "suave." is the project's only credited guest appearance.

The original ten songs remain unchanged: "white noise.," "wrong faces.," "have to.," "butterflies.," "other side.," "strangers.," "world is yours.," "four seasons.," "pure fantasy." and "vanilla sky.," now followed by the five bonus cuts.

The update gives fans more of the moody, experimental R&B Faiyaz explored on the original album.

The expanded release keeps Icon in circulation within R&B and soul.
