Malcolm Todd Drops New Album Do That Again Following Viral “Obsessica” and “Earrings” Success
Malcolm Todd has released his second studio album, Do That Again, on Friday, June 5, through Columbia Records, marking another major step for the 22-year-old singer-songwriter who first rose to prominence on TikTok with songs such as “Art House” and “Roommates.” The album arrives after a busy stretch for the Los Angeles-based artist, who spent the past summer newly single, on tour with friends, and channeling that energy into writing and recording new music. According to the release notes, Todd worked on the project over six months at Electric Lady Studios in New York and Chaplin Recording Studios in Los Angeles, spending long days and late nights with a close circle of collaborators to shape the final record.
The new album also comes at a time of growing mainstream visibility for Todd. This week, he made his first appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he performed two of his Billboard Hot 100 songs, “I Saw Your Face” and “Earrings.” The performance added to the momentum surrounding his recent rise, with “Earrings” drawing particular attention online as listeners continue to respond to the track’s popularity.
Todd has said he is not focused on chasing hits, even as his profile expands. In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, he explained that he does not feel pressure to hold onto viral success and is more interested in creating new music that reflects his growth. He described the recent success of “Earrings” as rewarding, but emphasized that his main priority is moving forward creatively rather than trying to replicate a specific formula. His comments reflect an artist trying to balance a fast-growing audience with a desire to keep developing his sound.
Among the new songs on Do That Again, “Obsessica” has emerged as one of the most discussed tracks online. Fans have been analyzing the lyrics on Genius, where the song is currently listed among the platform’s Top 10 most searched tracks. The song’s lyrics touch on emotional fixation, attraction, and the uneasy pull of an intense relationship, helping drive interest across social media and music forums. Lines from the track have been widely shared by listeners reacting to its confessional tone and memorable hook.
Do That Again builds on the momentum Todd has gained over the past few years and showcases a more established artist stepping into a larger spotlight. With a new album, a major TV performance, and growing online conversation around his songs, Todd’s latest release positions him as one of the young pop and alt-pop voices attracting increasing attention in 2026.
