The Fool is the fifth solo studio album by the Swedish rapper Bladee. A surprise album, it was released on 28 May 2021 through Year0001. The album was entirely produced by Lusi, with some songs having extra contributions from the producers Clibbo, Loesoe, Outtatown, Rip, and Rok. The Fool is a pop rap album that incorporates similar sounds used in Bladee's previous album, the Mechatok-collaborated Good Luck (2020). Lyrically, the album explores themes of love, illusions, and existentialism using Auto-Tuned vocals. Its title is a reference to the tarot card of the same name and extends as a metaphor into the album itself. Frequent collaborator Thaiboy Digital is featured on the track "Inspiration Comes". The Fool was considered one of the best albums of the year by The Fader and Dazed and further received acclaim by Pitchfork and laut.de.
