Jack Harlow has announced that his fourth studio album, Monica, will arrive on March 13.
The project was shaped by a year of writing sessions inside New York’s iconic Electric Lady Studios and inspired by the Louisville rapper’s recent move to The City That Never Sleeps.
Speaking to Rolling Stone previously, Harlow reflected on the impact of changing environments on his writing, telling the publication: “When I move somewhere new, I start seeing myself differently. It shakes something loose. That’s when the songs start coming.”
Electric Lady — the storied Greenwich Village studio built by Jimi Hendrix and home to classic recordings from David Bowie, Patti Smith, Kanye West and Beyoncé — became the backdrop for Harlow’s latest chapter.
While Harlow has yet to reveal the album’s tracklist or collaborators, he has hinted in previous conversations that his new material leans into a more personal, grounded perspective.
In a 2022 interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, he said: “I’m always trying to get closer to who I really am on these records. Every album is me peeling back another layer.”
Vinyl pre-orders for Monica are now live, giving fans the first chance to secure physical editions before the album’s release.
Harlow’s last full‑length project, Jackman, dropped in 2023.
However, Harlow released the single Set You Free last February, following the pair of 2024 tracks, Hello Miss Johnson and Tranquility.
He also teamed up with fellow rapper Doja Cat – his crush – on the duet Just Us.
