Aaron Carter Posthumous Album Coming 2 Years After Drowning Death

On Friday, pop star Aaron Carter’s sister announced that a posthumous album by Carter, consisting of previously unreleased music, will be released on May 24th as part of Mental Health Awareness Month. A single, entitled “Recovery,” is slated to drop on April 26th, according to the announcement.

“I understand why the RECOVERY album didn’t see the light of day for almost 10 years,” songwriter and producer Aaron Pearce, who worked on the album, posted on Instagram. “There is a bigger purpose for it now. Aaron would be so grateful that his story lived beyond the tragedy bringing awareness and hope to future generations.”
