Rising Star Delivers New Music Following Sold-Out Tour and Omar Apollo Support Run
Emerging alternative R&B artist Malcolm Todd, known for his distinctive blend of groove-heavy production and introspective lyrics, has just released his latest bundle, Two New Malcolm Todd Songs. The highly-anticipated release, out via Columbia Records, features the focus track “You Owe Me” alongside the quirky fan-favorite “Cute Shirt (Interlude).” Fans can stream the new tracks today across all major platforms.
Malcolm Todd, a 21-year-old multi-instrumentalist, has been rapidly building a name for himself in the alternative music scene. Following a sold-out North American headline tour and a support run for Grammy-nominated artist Omar Apollo, Todd’s momentum continues to surge. His latest release is yet another testament to his creativity and knack for crafting emotionally resonant yet catchy tracks. Fans have eagerly awaited these songs since Malcolm teased “You Owe Me” during an Eric Doa livestream in August, creating significant buzz around the release.
In addition to the new music, Todd has dropped a visual for “Cute Shirt (Interlude),” a laid-back, fun video that serves as a behind-the-scenes diary of his life on tour. Shot on a personal camcorder during his tour, the video reflects Malcom’s candid style and humor, offering fans a glimpse into his laid-back personality and dynamic live shows.
“You Owe Me” stands out as the emotional centerpiece of the two-track bundle, showcasing Todd’s signature introspection layered over sleek, groove-heavy production. The track explores themes of unspoken debts in relationships, both emotional and otherwise, with a balance of vulnerability and swagger.
On the flip side, “Cute Shirt (Interlude)” has quickly become a fan-favorite, praised for its quirky humor and offbeat charm. Originally previews on tour, the track taps into Todd’s ability to weave intimate, off-the-cuff moments into his music. The video for the interlude captures Malcom’s laid-back persona, serving as a visual diary of his tour experiences and providing a more personal connection with fans.
The Two New Malcolm Todd Songs bundle follows Todd’s breakout mixtape, Sweet Boy, which featured collaborations with rising stars like Eem Triplin and earned co-signs from major artists like ScHoolBoy Q. Hailed as a “Coming of Age Triumph” by Ones To Watch, Sweet Boy solidified Todd’s place in the alternative R&B space with standout tracks like “Art House” and “Roommates,” which have collectively garnered over 56 million streams on Spotify alone.
With over 185 million streams to date and growing, Malcolm Todd’s star is quickly rising. Drawing inspiration from influential artists like Steve Lacy, Dominic Fike, and Kali Uchis, Todd continues to expand his musical horizons, hinting at more releases before the year ends.
In the wake of his bundle release, Todd is gearing up for upcoming performances at Austin City Limits and the conclusion of his tour with Omar Apollo, which will take him to iconic venues like Hollywood Bowl. With more music on the horizon and increasing buzz around his live shows, Malcolm Todd is cementing his place as one of the most exciting new voices in alternative music today.
