Malcolm Todd’s Do That Again arrives at a pivotal moment for one of alternative pop’s fastest-rising young artists. Following the success of his 2025 self-titled debut, the Los Angeles singer-songwriter uses his sophomore effort to build on the mix of alternative R&B, indie pop, and sharp songwriting that helped him connect with a rapidly growing audience. The album follows a breakout stretch that saw Todd move from internet favorite to sold-out venues and chart success, all while maintaining the DIY spirit that first drew listeners to his music.

Recorded over six months at Electric Lady Studios in New York and Chaplin Recording Studios in Los Angeles, Do That Again captures a period of personal transition. Todd spent much of the writing process newly single, channeling the uncertainty, freedom, and self-discovery that come with life in your twenties into a collection of songs that reflect both personal growth and creative ambition.

The album’s early singles offer a glimpse into that evolution. Lead track “Breathe” pairs layered vocals and guitar-driven production with Todd’s increasingly confident approach to alternative R&B, while “I Saw Your Face” emerged after months of studio tinkering and a last-minute rebuild that transformed it into one of the most talked-about songs of the project. The track quickly became his biggest debut to date, signaling that Todd’s audience continues to expand well beyond the fan base that first discovered him online.

What makes Do That Again compelling is Todd’s ability to balance contemporary influences with classic songwriting instincts. His music pulls from alternative R&B, pop, and singer-songwriter traditions, drawing inspiration from artists as varied as Paul Simon and Prince while retaining a distinctly modern perspective. The result is a record that feels polished without losing the personality and humor that have become central to his appeal.

For Todd, Do That Again is less about repeating past success than proving he can continue to grow without losing sight of what got him here. It finds him refining his craft, trusting his instincts, and embracing the unpredictability that comes with both young adulthood and a rapidly accelerating career. As his profile continues to rise, Do That Again positions Malcolm Todd as an artist with the talent and confidence to turn momentum into staying power.
