Cotillions is the third solo album by American musician and The Smashing Pumpkins vocalist Billy Corgan (under the name William Patrick Corgan).[1] It was released on November 22, 2019.[2] The songs on the album were written in 2017 during Thirty Days – a month-long journey Corgan took across America.[3] There was enough material to allow for a 17-track double album.[4] Corgan has said this album is a "true labor of love" in an Instagram post about Cotillions, expressing his gratitude towards his fans, while also being grateful of living in a "different world", where "an artist can speak directly to you without the filter of mass media shaping your heart and opinions before you've even had a chance to decide whether this music speaks to you."[5]
