Eminem’s upcoming album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),” is set to be released on July 12, as announced in a minute-long horror trailer. The video showcases the birth of a demon child, bringing to life the lyrics of the single “Houdini.”
The trailer begins with a woman giving birth to a baby, with the doctor instructing her to push. After the baby is delivered, the woman affectionately refers to the child as the “little bugger that kept kicking me.” However, things take a dark turn when the baby grows devil horns and demon-like teeth, surprising the doctor and nurses.
The video aligns with the lyrics of the song “Houdini,” where Eminem mentions a “little baby devil with the forked tongue.” The visual representation of this lyric adds a chilling element to the album’s theme.
Eminem’s announcement of the album was accompanied by a mock documentary-style trailer, featuring the death of his alter ego, Slim Shady. The trailer pays homage to the controversial and complex character Eminem created through his music, with a fake obituary published in the Detroit Free Press.
This upcoming album follows Eminem’s last release, “Music to Be Murdered By,” which came out in January 2020. Dr. Dre confirmed that Eminem is working on a new album set for release this year and teased his involvement in the project.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)” and are intrigued by the dark and enigmatic themes hinted at in the trailer. Eminem continues to push the boundaries of his artistry, creating music that challenges and captivates audiences worldwide.
