{"product_id":"gentleman","title":"Gentleman","description":"\u003cp\u003eGentleman is the sophomore album from Towa Bird — 27-year-old British Filipina vocalist, guitarist, and self-identified queer artist — released May 15, 2026 on Interscope\/Polydor Records. It follows her 2024 debut American Hero and was produced by Patrick Wimberly, known for his work co-producing Beyoncé's Lemonade and Solange's A Seat at the Table, as well as productions for MGMT and Blood Orange. The album's title is both a concept and a statement: Towa Bird splits the word into \"gentle\" and \"man\" as a way of interrogating gender codes and the masculine-feminine paradigm, using the figure of the Gentleman not as a stage persona but, as she has described it, as a full cultural lifestyle that expresses her androgyny and queer identity. At 11 tracks and 37 minutes, the record features a guest verse from Bikini Kill's Kathleen Hanna on \"All Gone\" — a pairing that signals exactly the kind of feminist lineage Towa Bird is consciously positioning herself within.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonically, Gentleman pushes further into alternative territory than American Hero, with Towa leaning harder into her identity as a shred-bending guitarist while still maintaining the dance-floor momentum and hooky pop sensibility that brought her to prominence via TikTok and tours alongside Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo. As Apple Music describes it, the album blends \"sharp, hooky tunes that exude an effervescent vibe and dance-floor-facing momentum\" with the knotty subjects of gender dynamics and queer desire, drawing from a mood board that stretches across the 21st-century indie landscape. FLOOD Magazine called her \"a shred-bending guitarist out for blood,\" channeling \"femme-punk fury and four-on-the-floor disco beats into songs aiming to bust the heads of the pop patriarchy\" — gently, as the title suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album","offer_id":53619119554874,"sku":"38380","price":41.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-06-17_at_1.23.33_PM.jpeg?v=1781717175","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/gentleman","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
