Malcolm Todd Announces 'Do That Again' Album

Official Announcement | Published: Apr 29, 2026 10:30 AM EDT

(Columbia) Three years ago, Malcolm Todd had never played a show. Today, he's moved 100,000 tickets across three continents in a single touring cycle. More recently, he sold out a deliberate underplay for his most devoted fans at The Fonda Theatre in seconds - a full run-through of Sweet Boy, his breakout mixtape now surging back into the charts on pure fan momentum. It's a rise built not on virality but on the road, one sold-out room at a time.

Now, Malcolm Todd announces his new album Do That Again, out June 5th via Columbia Records. The announcement comes a few days after the release of new single "I Saw Your Face," his biggest debut to date, landing in the top 25 on the US Spotify chart and surpassing 2 million streams in its first 24 hours.

While recording Do That Again, Malcolm Todd spent the summer newly single and bursting with life. Fresh off tour with friends in town and nothing to tie him down, the LA-based musician zipped through the dog days, staying out late, having the kind of time you spend the rest of the year chasing. But that spontaneous thrill ran parallel to a major focus. He was hard at work too, pouring all of it straight into the new record, writing through his growth as both a person and an artist. Over six months at Electric Lady Studios in New York and Chaplin Recording Studios in Los Angeles, Malcolm logged long days and late nights with a tight-knit crew of collaborators until everything was exactly right.

Melodically and emotionally, "I Saw Your Face" is one of the record's standouts. Malcolm wrote the earworm in November 2025 and spent the next two months trying to crack the production: no drums, different drums, sped up, slowed down, before breaking it down and rebuilding it from scratch on the very last day of sessions. "I knew how good the song was," he says. "I was starting to lose hope. And then at the last second, we just made it happen." A meditation on ending a relationship you know isn't right and grieving it anyway, it captures something true and rarely said: that leaving on your own terms doesn't make it hurt any less. "If I could wish for anything / It would all come back around," he sings.

Malcolm has quickly emerged as one of alternative pop's most compelling young artists, hailed by Rolling Stone as both a "knockout" and "a new kind of male pop star." Do That Again finds him stepping fully into that promise, threading classic pop songwriting through a modern R&B lens, pulling as much from Paul Simon as from the sensual minimalism of Prince, with humor and meticulous detail holding it all together.

Malcolm introduced himself with his 2024 mixtape Sweet Boy, and two years later the project has taken on a life of its own: the RIAA Gold-certified "Earrings," "Sweet Boy," and "Roommates" have surged back into Spotify's Top 100 simultaneously, driven entirely by organic fan rediscovery, with "Earrings" climbing to No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sitting at No. 8 on the Spotify Weekly US chart. He followed it with his self-titled debut Malcolm Todd, which has accumulated over 600 million global streams, propelled by the RIAA Platinum-certified "Chest Pain (I Love)," his first Billboard Hot 100 entry, now surpassing 350 million streams worldwide. The song's reach extended further when Don Toliver prominently sampled it on his hit "E85," which climbed to No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and currently tops the Hot Rap Songs chart.

In 2025, Malcolm completed the sold-out Wholesome Rockstar Tour. Standout festival sets at Camp Flog Gnaw, Pitchfork Paris, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits confirmed him as one of music's most compelling young frontmen, performing with an easy charm that turns his breakout songs into full room moments. He also made his late-night debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! For 2026, he's already been announced for Outside Lands and Osheaga.

Do That Again is available for pre-order now, including signed vinyl in red and white colorways and an exclusive burgundy vinyl via Urban Outfitters. Listen to "I Saw Your Face" below:
