PartyNextDoor released his new single “Real Woman” Friday (March 15) after finishing his headlining set at Billboard’s THE STAGE at SXSW in Austin, Texas.

And while closing out his set, Billboard Canada's latest digital cover star revealed the news all of his fans have been waiting for: His forthcoming fourth studio album, PARTYNEXTDOOR 4, will be released on April 26 via OVO Sound. It marks his first full-length album in four years since Partymobile, which debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and peaked at No. 4 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.


The album also arrives 10 years after his debut album, PARTYNEXTDOOR 2. Its second single “Her Way” experienced a lot of success last year: The sped-up version of the song became 2023’s most popular TikTok song in Canada and third-most popular in the United States.

Produced by Noah “40” Shebib, Eli Brown and Prep Bijan, “Real Woman” employs bright, twinkling synths, trap hi-hats and a backing choir for the hypnotic late-night anthem. The single follows “Resentment,” which debuted in the top 10 of Hot R&B Songs last July, and “Her Old Friends” from January 2023.

The R&B singer-songwriter and producer talked about his highly anticipated LP in his recent Billboard cover story. “This is the hardest I’ve ever worked on an album. This is the proudest I’ve felt,” he said. “I’m excited to grind even more for the next [one]. I’m in love with how hard you should work for it.”

Following his SXSW set, Party will perform at Rolling Loud California tonight before traveling to Australia next week for the five-date Souled Out festival.

Here’s Why ‘Shake It to the Max’ Was Deemed Ineligible at the 2026 Grammys — And Why Its Label Calls the Decision ‘Devoid of Any Common Sense’

Representatives from the Recording Academy and gamma. CEO Larry Jackson comment on one of this year's most shocking Grammy snubs.

Few phrases define the year in music and culture like Moliy’s scintillating directive to “shake it to the max.” The Ghanaian singer’s sultry voice reverberated across the globe, blending her own Afropop inclinations with Jamaican dancehall-informed production, courtesy of Miami-based duo Silent Addy and Disco Neil. Originally released in December 2024, Moliy’s breakthrough global crossover hit ascended to world domination, peaking at No. 6 on the Global 200, thanks to a remix featuring dancehall superstars Shenseea and Skillibeng. Simply put, “Max” soundtracked a seismic moment in African and Caribbean music in 2025.

Given its blockbuster success, “Shake It to the Max” was widely expected to be a frontrunner in several categories at the 2026 Grammys. In fact, had the song earned a nomination for either best African music performance or best global music performance, many forecasters anticipated a victory. So, when “Shake It to the Max” failed to appear on the final list of 2026 Grammy nominees in any category earlier this month (Nov. 7), listeners across the world were left scratching their heads — none more than gamma. CEO Larry Jackson.
