Nu King is the fifth studio album by American singer Jason Derulo. It was released on February 16, 2024, through Atlantic Records. His first studio album of original material in nine years, following Everything Is 4 (2015), it features collaborations with Michael Bublé, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Gucci Mane, Quavo, Lay Bankz, Tesher, Robinson, Mikaben, David Guetta, Alexandra Shipp, and Nuka, alongside guest appearances from Nicki Minaj, Ty Dolla Sign, French Montana, Adam Levine, Dido, and Meghan Trainor. It serves as a follow-up to his EP 2Sides (Side 1) (2019), and is his first project not released through longtime labels Beluga Heights and Warner, which he left in 2020 due to creative differences.

Critical reception

Maura Johnston of Rolling Stone described Derulo as an "audacious, occasionally ridiculous Pop-R&B smoothie" on the record, but concluded that "on a 27-song album, they can't all be hits". [2]
