Revival Songwriting Credits by Eminem

Revival is the ninth studio album by Eminem, released in December 2017 on Aftermath/Interscope Records and produced by a wide range of collaborators including Rick Rubin, Skylar Grey, and others. It is Eminem's most commercially collaborative album, featuring the largest number of featured artists of any Eminem release and a more pop-oriented production palette than his previous work. Eminem wrote all lyrics; the album is politically engaged throughout, with anti-Trump content distributed across multiple tracks, and the overall tone reflects the public discourse of late 2017, making it more topically rooted in a specific moment than any previous Eminem album. 'Walk on Water,' a piano-based ballad addressing Eminem's self-doubt and anxiety about his cultural legacy, was released as the lead single and reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100; the collaboration 'River' featuring Ed Sheeran received substantial pop radio play. Critical reception was broadly negative, with reviewers citing the album's length, tonal inconsistency, and pop production as evidence of a creative misstep; fans who had engaged primarily with the Detroit underground aesthetic of his earlier work were particularly critical. Revival has been certified platinum in the United States, a significantly more modest commercial performance than any previous Eminem album, and was followed within eight months by the surprise-released Kamikaze.
