King Chad Delivers Love and Legacy with New Valentine’s Day Album “Time Never Falters”

In a move that’s already got fans buzzing, King Chad has announced the release of his newest studio album, Time Never Falters, hitting streaming platforms on Valentine’s Day 2026. The title itself — a meditation on the unstoppable march of time — sets the tone for a deeply personal and spiritually reflective collection of music that bridges Hip-Hop, R&B, soul, and classic sampling influences.

“Time doesn’t stop for any of us, so we must spend our time wisely — and with the people who truly love us,” King Chad shared in a recent interview with iHeartRadio, capturing the inspiration behind this expansive new body of work.

King Chad has built a reputation for prolific output and deep artistic engagement. After kicking off 2026 with the pop-leaning project 1981 Peace Over Drama in January, he’s already on track to deepen that legacy with Time Never Falters. Fans — who have come to expect steady, thoughtful releases year-round — are once again being spoiled with another full-length offering that promises both heart and hustle.

What sets this album apart is King Chad’s fearless blend of emotional vulnerability with sound-scape innovation. On tracks like “Modern Women,” “I Like,” and “If You Only Knew Love,” Chad lets listeners directly into the heart of his experiences, love stories, and life lessons — anchored by his signature

One of the standout aspects of Time Never Falters is its reverent use of samples from genre icons. The album nods respectfully to 90s R&B with interpolations from artists like Kut Klose and Monica, weaving nostalgia into fresh narratives. On “Knowledge,” King Chad channels the spirit of classic Hip-Hop by sampling Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest, affirming his commitment to the culture and lineage of the genre.

It’s this melding of eras that sets the album apart: Prince-like soul, smooth R&B emotion, and boom-bap authenticity, all threaded together through modern production.

In an age where many artists outsource technical duties, King Chad stands apart by having mixed, mastered, and engineered the entire album himself. This level of control reflects not only his creative autonomy but also his respect for the craft — an artist pouring every bit of love and vision into the project from start to finish.

Despite critical praise and a cult-like following, some are surprised the Florida artist hasn’t yet cracked the Billboard Top 100 or the Hip-Hop charts with his releases. But for those in the know, that’s part of King Chad’s mystique: a rare artist whose art lives beyond commercial definitions, driven by devotion to expression and community rather than headline statistics.

With Time Never Falters, King Chad isn’t just dropping another Valentine’s Day album — he’s issuing a love letter to his fans, to his own journey, and to Hip-Hop itself. It’s an invitation to reflect, connect, and groove through life’s moments — both tender and triumphant.
