Travis Scott has a surprising connection to movie star Brad Pitt thanks to the rapper’s new Utopia album.

Travis Scott’s Brad Pitt Connection

Travis Scott‘s new Utopia album was years in the making and features dozens of contributing artists and producers. One of the places La Flame used to record the new album during the multi-year recording process was Brad Pitt‘s record studio, Miraval. Located in the South of France, the studio was originally built in 1977. The Babylon actor purchased the studio and refurbished the space before reopening in 2021. Other acts who have recorded in the now state-of-the-art studio include Sade, Pink Floyd and The Cure.
