Still, that emotional toll may have proven to be too great for Tim, as when asked if he saw himself taking on another project like Xscape in the future, he was quick to come back with a prompt “No,” asserting that the album was “one of a kind.”
One thing Tim is excited about, however, is his own upcoming solo LP, once dubbed Textbook Timbo, which has since evolved into Opera Noir, a result of Tim discovering “what I want to do.” He’d later confirm: “I found who I am and what I’m comfortable with, and what I want to do.”

My personal life, and I found myself as an artist and human being and as a man. I found who I am,” sounding strikingly similar to another Virginia native, Pharrell, who famously detailed the mental clarity he found when writing and recording his recent G I R L.
