Malcolm Todd Drops Sophomore Album 'Do That Again' Following String of Chart Hits

Malcolm Todd's highly anticipated follow-up record has arrived. The 22-year-old artist unveiled Do That Again on Friday (June 5) via Columbia Records, the label he joined after his meteoric rise on TikTok three years prior with breakout songs including "Art House" and "Roommates."

According to details surrounding the album's creation, Todd spent the summer prior to recording as a newly single artist, energized by life on the road with friends and an open schedule. Based in Los Angeles, the musician channeled that spontaneous energy alongside serious creative focus, investing months into the project across two prestigious studios. Recording took place over a six-month stretch split between Electric Lady Studios in New York and Chaplin Recording Studios in Los Angeles, with Todd working alongside a close circle of collaborators to refine every detail.

The release coincided with Todd's debut performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he performed two of his biggest tracks: "I Saw Your Face" and "Earrings," both of which have charted on the Billboard Hot 100.

When discussing the recent momentum behind "Earrings" and his ascent in popularity, Todd took a measured approach. He told the LA Times that he doesn't feel pressured to chase commercial success, explaining that while accolades feel rewarding, his primary focus remains on creating fresh material. "I'm not really chasing hits. They're always nice, and to be rewarded for a song you care about is really cool. As this has blown up, I've just been like, 'OK, cool, people like that song.' All I'm thinking really about is putting out new music," he shared.

Among the album's standout tracks, "Obsessica" has particularly resonated with listeners online, climbing into the top 10 most-searched songs on Genius. The introspective ballad explores themes of emotional dependency and attachment, drawing significant fan engagement across social media platforms.
