Tribute to mum
The release date holds a personal significance for Snoop as it marks what would have been his late mother Beverly Tate's 74th birthday.
'April 27, I'm dropping a gospel album on Death Row Records, it's called Altar Call,' he said in a video posted to Instagram.
'You heard it first. A gospel album, April 27. God is good. Won't he do it?'
The 21-track album features contributions from artists including Jamie Foxx, Robert Glasper, Denaun Porter, Jazze Pha, Charlie Bereal, Jane Handcock, October London and more.
The project is a tribute to Beverley, who passed away in October 2021 and was a long-time church choir director.
The album pays homage to her spiritual influence on Snoop, who credits her with teaching him to spread love and healing through his music.
The album cover includes a commemorative image of her, and the opening track is titled Mother I Miss You.
Altar Call is described by Snoop as a continuation of his 2018 gospel album Bible of Love, reflecting his mother's lasting impact on his life and artistry.

Taylor Swift announces 12th album for ‘pre pre-order'
US popstar Taylor Swift announced her 12th album, titled 'The Life of a Showgirl,' for 'pre pre-order' just after midnight Tuesday in posts on her website. Her online shop displayed blurred images of a record, CD and cassette tape overlaid with a glittery orange lock, explaining the album artwork would be 'revealed at a later date.' A disclaimer also notes that the release date has not yet been announced, and the album will ship before October 13. 'So I wanted to show you something,' the singer says in a video clip posted to her Instagram as she holds up a vinyl album, its cover completely blurred. 'This is my brand new album 'The Life of a Show Girl',' she says in the clip from the 'New Heights' podcast, hosted by her boyfriend, American football player Travis Kelce, and his brother, exNFL player Jason Kelce. 'TS12!' Travis Kelce exclaims in the video. 'The Life of a Showgirl' is the follow-up to Swift's last studio album, ' The Tortured Poets Department,' which was released last year and sold 1.4 million copies the first day. Since 2021, she has been making good on her vow to re-record her first six studio records in a bid to own the rights to them. In May, the 14 - time Grammy Award winner, who was locked in a feud with record executives since 2019 over the ownership of her music, said she had bought back the rights to her entire back catalog for an undisclosed sum. The 35-year-old songwriting sensation shattered records with her nearly two-year-long Eras tour that ended last year. It raked in $2 billion over 149 shows around the world, making it the most lucrative tour in music history.

Spelling out grief
Adult fiction author Joanne Yi's debut novel All the Tomorrows After hits the shelves on August 19. The story follows Korean-American teen Winter Moon, a girl in a troubled household. She is saving money in hopes of escaping with her terminally ill grandmother and living a better life. However, Winter's spiteful mother steals her money and blows through it all in one day, forcing the young girl to return to her estranged father, who reappears after being absent for more than a decade. The two agree that Winter would spend time with him in exchange for payment. In an interview, the author said she took inspiration from her own grief journey and heritage, explaining that she lost her father to terminal illness, and that anticipatory grief did not prepare her as she knew and rejected his fate. 'I've spent most of my adulthood trying to find the right words. What I've learned is that there are none, really, to articulate a loved one's slow and inevitable deterioration,' Joanne explained. 'All the Tomorrows After is shaped by our journey, which began in the absence of hope and continues in the absence of a farewell. It is inspired by my father, his battle to maintain his identity, and our family's experiences as caregivers. It is a reflection of myself as a young adult navigating grief, guilt, and isolation,' she added.
