Malcolm Todd
Malcolm Todd is the self‑titled debut studio album by American singer‑songwriter Malcolm Todd, released on April 4, 2025 via Columbia Records. It follows his 2024 mixtape Sweet Boy and earlier EPs like Demos Before Prom and Shower Shoes, and serves as his first full‑length statement after gaining traction on TikTok and streaming platforms with singles such as “Art House,” “Roommates,” and “Hot in NY.” The album runs 14 tracks and about 37 minutes, blending indie pop, R&B, alternative soul, and bedroom‑pop aesthetics with conversational vocals and lo‑fi but carefully crafted production. Structurally, it feels a bit like a mixtape, using short interludes, bits of studio chatter, and shifting moods to create a lived‑in, diary‑like atmosphere.
The track list includes “Make Me a Better Man,” “Who’s the Fool,” “Chest Pain (I Love),” “Doll,” “Bleed” (featuring Omar Apollo), “Good Job Malcolm,” “Lying,” “Walk to Class,” “Florence,” “Concrete,” “I Do,” “Cheer Me On,” and “I’ll Come Back for You,” among others. Lyrically, Todd leans into vulnerable, often slightly awkward honesty: songs about anxious crushes, messy communication, self‑doubt, and trying to grow up without losing his sense of humor and tenderness. “Chest Pain (I Love)” became the breakout single, going viral and becoming his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 (peaking at 68) and helping the album reach number 49 on the Billboard 200, while “Bleed” showcases a more lush, collaborative R&B side through the Omar Apollo feature. Critics have highlighted the record’s charm and emotional directness, noting that Malcolm Todd establishes him as a distinctive new voice in alt‑pop who can fuse catchy melodies with intimate, self‑aware storytelling.
