Wyclef Jean is gearing up to release his first studio album in seven years. The Carnival III: Road to Clefication — named after his classic solo debut — is coming this fall and will feature contributions from Afrojack, Avicii, and Emeli Sandé. The project will also feature the new single “Hendrix,” which premiered on Complex on today.
