Malcolm Todd shares new single & video “I Saw Your Face”

After a breakout year that saw his first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 and a sold-out international headline tour spanning three continents, Malcolm kicked off 2026 with “Breathe,” his highest debut ever reaching the top 50 on Spotify day one. Now Malcolm Todd is back to tease more of what’s to come with the drop of a new single “I Saw Your Face.” A meditation on ending a relationship you know isn't right and grieving it anyway, the song captures something true and hard to say–just because leaving was your choice doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt. The single comes alongside a music video co-directed by Malcolm Todd and Aidan Cullen. The video comments on masculinity unraveling. Man vs. cutting an onion, Malcolm vs. his sensitivity… the joke lands but the feeling is real to all the men out there. There is even a standoff in the video between Malcolm and a giant onion.

At 22, Todd has quickly emerged as one of alternative pop’s most compelling young artists, hailed by Rolling Stone as both a “knockout” and “a new kind of male pop star.” “His self-titled debut album Malcolm Todd has accumulated more than 600 million global streams since its release last year, propelled by the breakout RIAA certified Platinum single "Chest Pain (I Love)," which earned Todd his first Billboard Hot 100 entry and has tallied over 350 million streams worldwide. Before that, Todd introduced himself with his 2024 mixtape Sweet Boy - and two years later, the project has taken on a life of its own: the RIAA certified gold "Earrings," "Sweet Boy," and "Roommates" have all surged back into Spotify's Top 100 simultaneously, driven almost entirely by organic fan rediscovery. "Earrings" has climbed to #40 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is currently #6 on the Spotify US Charts and top 50 on the Spotify Global Charts. It has also entered the Spotify charts in Southeast Asia: Top 20 in Singapore, Top 200 in Malaysia and the Philippines. The reach of "Chest Pain (I Love)" extended further earlier this year when Don Toliver prominently sampled it on his hit "E85," which climbed to No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and currently tops the Hot Rap Songs chart.

Clara Benin leans into love’s softer moments in 6-track EP, really got me thinking

Filipino singer-songwriter Clara Benin explores the “inner weather of love” in really got me thinking—her latest EP under Sony Music Entertainment.

Pivoting towards delicate soundscapes and lush arrangements, the 6-track release embraces a quieter form of introspection: the sonic treatment, pared down and intimate, leaning towards newfound openness in both sound and storytelling.

“I’ve learned to sit with simplicity and to trust that not every space needs to be filled, that silence and restraint can carry just as much meaning as sound,” Benin explains. “Because of that, I allowed the words and melodies to breathe more, and I think it creates a more intimate listening experience, like you’re just sitting in the moment with me.”
