Tidal took to Twitter Tuesday night to announce that it's hosting three listening sessions for Electronica's forthcoming album A Written Testimony.

"It's time. We're giving @JayElectronicafans an exclusive first listen of his album 'A Written Testimony' with 3 intimate events in NY, LA, & New Orleans," the tweet reads, which also includes an RSVP link for Tidal users to sign up at. The listening sessions are all happening on Thursday, March 12.

Prior to the announcement, a photo also surfaced of Jay, Jay-Z, Young Guru, and Lawrence Parker (A&R at Roc Nation and Jay's manager) in the studio together.

Last month, Jay announced that he would be releasing A Written Testimony in 40 days (which would be on Wednesday, March 18). The album was recorded over a 40-day, 40-night stretch starting on December 26, and will feature Jay-Z, who signed Electronica to Roc Nation back in 2010.

Over the decade, Jay has released a bunch of loosies and collaborated with a number of artists, from Kendrick Lamar to JAY-Z. But no official album or follow up to his classic Act I: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge) tape. Most fans seemed to concede that the album would never come, but now fans can be assured that the new album is going to be released.
