Jack Harlow has a birthday gift for his fans this year. The Louisville native announced Tuesday (Feb. 10) that his fourth studio album, Monica, is set to arrive March 13, which is Harlow’s 28th birthday.
“Monica. My new album. Available everywhere on my birthday, March 13th,” Harlow wrote on Instagram.
The post was accompanied by the LP’s cover art, which features a motion-blurred image of the “Lovin on Me” rapper with his eyes shut while rocking a pair of shades and a brown cap tilted to the side.
Fans excitedly hopped into the comments, welcoming the return of Missionary Jack, while others wondered who exactly Monica might be. Former NFL star Victor Cruz and New York Knicks big man Karl-Anthony Towns hyped the announcement with emoji comments as well.
The sonic direction of Harlow’s next endeavor remains unclear, but a press release reveals that the 27-year-old recorded the album at the famed Electric Lady Studios in New York City following his move to the Big Apple. Plenty of music legends have made Electric Lady home during their careers, including Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Stevie Wonder.
It’s possible Harlow’s time recording at Electric Lady overlapped with Lorde when she was working on Virgin. During an Apple Music interview with Zane Lowe last year, Lorde recalled Harlow being wowed by her songwriting after playing the album for him.
“Jack Harlow was working at Electric Lady when we were there towards the end of the record and somehow ended up getting most of the album played to him,” she explained. “It was a very funny, cool link. He’s such a sweetheart. But he was like, ‘Your bars are… These are bars!’ I was like, ‘Your words, not mine.’”
While Monica will arrive March 13, vinyl pre-orders are now available to order the LP on Harlow’s website.
Harlow has remained quiet on the music side for the better part of a year, as his most recent single, “Just Us,” was released last March, featuring an assist from Doja Cat.
It’s been nearly three years since Jack Harlow’s last album. Harlow released Jackman in April 2023, which reached the top 10 of the Billboard 200 (No. 8).
