The album was released on May 28, 2013, by Radio Killa Records and Def Jam Recordings.[1] It features guest appearances from Jay-Z, Big Sean, Beyoncé, Pusha T, 2 Chainz, Kelly Rowland, Gary Clark Jr. and Fabolous. IV Play is an R&B album with overtly sexual themes.[1] BackgroundPrior to the release of his 2010 album Love King, The-Dream announced in interviews that it would be his final solo album. When the album was released, the song "Sex Intelligent (Remix)" featured a line in which the artist sang that he would release another album, titled Love Affair, on June 7, 2011. However, multiple delays pushed back the album's release for nearly two years and several different album titles were reported.[2] On the album's original release date, June 7, 2011, he released a promotional single free on the Internet, a medley of two new tracks titled "Body Work / Fuck My Brains Out." [3] On August 31, he released the album 1977 for free online. The album was later retitled 1977 and released commercially with a modified track list by Def Jam Recordings on December 18, 2012. While backstage at the 2013 Grammy Awards, The-Dream revealed the final title to Billboard.[4] In an interview on 106 & Park on April 2, 2013, The-Dream announced that Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, Big Sean, and Jay-Z would appear on the album.[5] On May 13, 2013 the track listing was revealed, including guest appearances by Pusha T, Gary Clark Jr. and 2 Chainz.[6] Release and promotionIn support of the album, he co-headlined the "Lights Out" tour[7] with Kelly Rowland, though most of the tour dates were canceled after Rowland was hired as a judge on The X Factor.[8] On May 20, 2013, The-Dream performed the song "Where Have You Been" with Kelly Rowland on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.[9] The album became available for streaming via The-Dream's VEVO channel on May 21, 2013.[10] In June 2011, The-Dream released a double promotional single titled "Body Work / Fuck My Brains Out." In 2012, he released "Roc" (initially reported to be the album's lead single[11]) in January, "Kill the Lights" (to promote his 2012 tour of the same name) in February, and "Dope Bitch" featuring rapper Pusha T (reported to be the second single) in July. Despite the "Roc" and "Dope Bitch" being serviced to radio and having music videos, none of the songs appeared on the final track list of IV Play. SinglesThe first single that appeared on the final version of the album was "Slow It Down," featuring rapper Fabolous. It was released as a digital download on March 5, 2013.[12] On April 2, 2013, the official music video was released.[13] The second single, "IV Play," was released on April 9, 2013.[14] It was sent to urban radio on May 14, 2013.[15] The official music video for "IV Play" was released on May 16, 2013.[16] The music video for "Too Early" featuring Gary Clark Jr. was released on August 16, 2013.[17] On May 15, 2013, the third single "High Art" featuring Jay-Z was released.[18] Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = Allmusic | rev1score = {{Rating|2|5}}[19] | rev2 = The A.V.

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 62, based on 19 reviews.[27] Entertainment Weekly called The-Dream "one of R&B's best talkers" and stated, "he flexes that weird, wordy, girl-crazy mind all over IV Play{{'}}s lush love jams."[28] Jesse Cataldo of Slant Magazine said that its second half is "densely layered, immaculately produced, and frequently luminous", although he found the guest-heavy first half to be uneven.[25] Andrew Ryce of Pitchfork Media also criticized the "string of clunkers" early in the album, but felt that its highlights show that "the brilliant auteur we fell in love with is still in here somewhere."[23] In a mixed review, Andy Kellman of Allmusic called the plentiful guest appearances and the album itself "trivial."[19] Alex Macpherson of The Guardian said that it lacks the "panache" and "commitment" of The-Dream's past work and called him "a grotesquely diminished figure promising bad sex in return for retreads of old ideas".[29] In the United States, IV Play debuted at number 16 on the Billboard 200 chart and sold 23,000 copies in its first week.[30] In its second week the album sold 9,100 more copies.[31] In its third week the album sold 5,500 more copies.[32] In its fourth week the album sold 4,600 more copies bringing its total sales to 42,000.[33] The album has sold 68,000 copies in the US as of June 2015.[34] Track listing{{tracklist| headline = Standard edition | total_length = 58:51 | extra_column = Producer(s) | title1 = High Art | writer1 = Terius Nash, Shawn Carter | extra1 = The-Dream | note1 = featuring Jay-Z | length1 = 4:29 | title2 = IV Play | writer2 = Nash | extra2 = The-Dream | length2 = 5:38 | title3 = Equestrian | writer3 = Nash | extra3 = Carlos McKinney, The-Dream | length3 = 4:23 | title4 = Pussy | writer4 = Nash, Sean Anderson, Terrence Thornton | extra4 = The-Dream | note4 = featuring Big Sean & Pusha T | length4 = 3:58 | title5 = Turnt | writer5 = Nash, Beyoncé Knowles, Tauheed Epps | extra5 = The-Dream | note5 = featuring Beyoncé & 2 Chainz | length5 = 3:46 | title6 = Where Have You Been | writer6 = Nash, Kelly Rowland | extra6 = The-Dream, Da Internz, Miykal Snoddy | note6 = featuring Kelly Rowland | length6 = 3:51 | title7 = Too Early | writer7 = Nash | extra7 = The-Dream, Bart Schoudel | note7 = featuring Gary Clark Jr. | length7 = 5:36 | title8 = Michael | writer8 = Nash | extra8 = The-Dream | length8 = 4:54 | title9 = Loving You / Crazy | writer9 = Nash | extra9 = The-Dream | length9 = 6:52 | title10 = New Orleans | writer10 = Nash | extra10 = The-Dream | length10 = 4:07 | title11 = Self-Conscious | writer11 = Nash | extra11 = Carlos McKinney, The-Dream | length11 = 3:07 | title12 = Holy Love | writer12 = Nash | extra12 = Carlos McKinney, The-Dream | length12 = 3:37 | title13 = Outro | writer13 = Nash | extra13 = The-Dream | length13 = 0:23 | title14 = Slow It Down | writer14 = Nash, John Jackson | extra14 = The-Dream | note14 = featuring Fabolous | length14 = 4:10 }}{{tracklist | collapsed = yes | extra_column = Producer(s) | headline = Deluxe edition bonus tracks[35] | title15 = Divine | writer15 = Nash | extra15 = The-Dream | length15 = 4:25 | title16 = Y'all | writer16 = Nash | extra16 = The-Dream | length16 = 5:31 | title17 = Tron | writer17 = Nash | extra17 = The-Dream | length17 = 3:38 | title18 = Psycho | writer18 = Nash | extra18 = The-Dream | length18 = 4:17 }}{{tracklist | collapsed = yes | extra_column = Producer(s) | headline = Climax bonus EP [36] | title1 = Com'On | writer1 = Nash | extra1 = The-Dream | length1 = 4:17 | title2 = Roc | writer2 = Nash | extra2 = The-Dream | length2 = 5:30 | title3 = Dope Bitch | writer3 = Nash, Terrence Thornton | extra3 = The-Dream | note3 = featuring Pusha T | length3 = 4:35 | title4 = Thirsty Whore | writer4 = Nash | extra4 = The-Dream | length4 = 4:03 }} PersonnelCredits for IV Play are adapted from Allmusic.[37] {{col-start}}{{col-2}}
