The-Dream's Crown, the first of two EP's he has planned for this year, is now available for streaming on Spotify and arrives free when you pre-order the second EP Jewel on iTunes. He has described the focus of the six-song project—which includes the previously released singles "That's My Shit" and "Fruition"—as being "more modern R&B." And indeed, it finds Mr. Nash playing with all variety of synth and digital finger snap. But he also puts on display his vulnerability, like on the project's opening track, "Prime," on which he sings do you believe in me like I believe in you? Jewel is out July 10; check the tracklist down below.

1. Black Magic
