The Futurist is the debut studio album by actor Robert Downey, Jr., released on November 23, 2004 by Sony Classical debuting at number 121 on Billboard's albums chart and selling 16,000 copies in its first week. Jonathan Elias and Mark Hudson produced the album with Downey playing the piano in some of the tracks. The CD cover was designed by Downey himself. He also designed the track listing label on the CD with his son Indio. The album received mixed reviews, but Downey stated in 2006 that he probably will not do another album, as he felt that the energy he put into doing the album was not compensated. The Futurist consists of eight pop ballads written by Downey as well as two cover songs: "Smile," a Charlie Chaplin composition; and "Your Move / Give Peace A Chance Medley," the first half of the song "I've Seen All Good People" by Yes. The song "Hannah" is an allusion to Downey's 2000 film Wonder Boys. "Broken" plays during the end credits to Downey's 2005 film, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
