Dominic Fike’s ‘How to Quit Smoking’: All 15 Tracks Ranked
Fike's third studio LP, which he's billed as a "living album," arrived on Friday (Oct. 30).
Dominic Fike, turning 30 in 2026, has released his third studio album, How to Quit Smoking, on October 30th. The album serves as a reflection of Fike's life at 30, balancing ambition and fatherhood. The title encapsulates the overarching theme, with the smoking habit explicitly addressed in the track "DOOMSDAY" featuring Tay-K. However, Fike reveals this to be the last habit he's trying to quit, acknowledging that everyone has a vice to cope with life's stressors.
During the album's creation, Fike toured with his Comedy Parody Tragedy Tour, recording the project on the road. He billed the album as a "living album," a concept inspired by Ye's work in The Life of Pablo. The album's unique rollout involved sharing behind-the-scenes content on his website, which has been continuously updated since his tour began.
Fike, hailing from Florida, has carved out a niche for himself by blending rock, alt-pop, and hip-hop, attracting TikTok users and generating buzz. His viral 2018 demo "Babydoll" propelled him to mainstream success, and his role as Elliot in HBO's Euphoria further expanded his reach. The 40-minute album features contributions from artists like Danny Brown and the incarcerated Tay-K, each bringing their unique style to Fike's vision.
