Revival (Eminem album)

Revival is the ninth studio album by the American rapper Eminem, released on December 15, 2017, through Shady Records, Goliath Artists, Aftermath Entertainment, and Interscope Records. It was executive-produced by Dr. Dre and Rick Rubin and its producers include Mr. Porter, Emile, Just Blaze, Alex da Kid, Fredwreck, and DJ Khalil. It features appearances from Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Alicia Keys, X Ambassadors, Skylar Grey, Kehlani, Pink and Phresher. It was handled by Rubin, Mr. Porter, Emile, Just Blaze, Alex da Kid, Fredwreck, and DJ Khalil.

Eminem revealed that he was working on an album following the release of "Campaign Speech" in October 2016. Much of Revival features political discussion, as well as discussion of Eminem's personal life. The album's lead single, "Walk on Water", which features Beyoncé, was released on November 10, 2017. "Untouchable" was released as a promotional single a week prior to the album's release. Further singles included "River", featuring Ed Sheeran, "Nowhere Fast", featuring Kehlani, and "Remind Me".

Reception to Revival was generally mixed, with its lack of cohesion, abundance of rock-influenced and sampled production, the heavy presence of pop guest artists, and mixing all receiving varying degrees of response; it has later been deemed by many to be Eminem's worst album. It debuted at number one in several countries, including the US, where it has been certified platinum. It was the UK Christmas number one album of 2017 and has been certified platinum in the UK. It was followed by Kamikaze (2018), Eminem's tenth studio album, in which he reacts to criticism of Revival.
