Overview
- Goulding announced on Tuesday that her sixth studio album will be released on September 4, 2026, and that pre-orders are now available on her official site.
- She confirmed the lead single, "Black Prada Dress," will be released on Friday, June 5, after debuting the track live at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Sunderland.
- Goulding credited producer and multi-instrumentalist Jack Rochon for extensive collaboration, saying they recorded hundreds of songs while experimenting with sounds and tones.
- She has framed the album as a personal project that addresses her 2024 separation from Caspar Jopling and reflects changes in her life, including the birth of her second child in March.
