Jack Harlow revealed his fourth studio album, Monica, set for release on March 13, 2026, coinciding with his 28th birthday. The Louisville rapper shared the news on social media on February 10, 2026, including the album's cover art. Details on the tracklist and features remain undisclosed.
On February 10, 2026, Jack Harlow announced his upcoming album Monica via social media posts on Instagram and X. "Monica. My new album. Available everywhere on my birthday, March 13th," he wrote, marking his first full-length project since Jackman in April 2023.
The cover art depicts a motion-blurred image of Harlow with his eyes closed, wearing shades and a brown cap tilted to the side. Fans responded enthusiastically in the comments, with some speculating about the album's title inspiration. Celebrities like former NFL player Victor Cruz and New York Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns reacted with emojis.
Harlow recorded Monica at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, a venue associated with artists such as Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, and Stevie Wonder. During this period, he reportedly overlapped with Lorde, who was working on her album Virgin. In an Apple Music interview with Zane Lowe, Lorde recalled playing tracks for Harlow, who praised her songwriting: "Your bars are… These are bars!"
The album arrives nearly three years after Jackman, which debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and reached No. 1 on the Top Rap Albums chart, earning a nomination for Hip Hop Album of the Year at the BET Hip Hop Awards. Harlow's recent releases include the single "Just Us" featuring Doja Cat in March 2025 and the solo track "Set You Free" in early 2025.
Vinyl pre-orders are available on Harlow's website, though no further details on the sonic direction, tracklist, or featured artists have been shared.
