“Her music – in all of its alt-poppy, almost-rocky magic – is big on emotion and big on talent. Her time is nigh.” – British Vogue (“These 8 Artists’ Names Will Be Everywhere Come 2026”)

“…[a] powerhouse vocalist.” – The FADER (“Artists to watch in 2026”)

Paracosm (Noun): A fully realized, detailed imaginary world, often created during childhood, that a person develops over a long period, sometimes into adulthood. These subjective universes typically feature unique geographies, histories, languages, and characters and can be a coping mechanism for stress or trauma, or simply a rich creative outlet.

(JANUARY 28, 2026 – LOS ANGELES, CA) — Singer, songwriter, and producer Absolutely officially announces that her highly anticipated sophomore album Paracosm will be released on February 20, 2026, via Epic Records. Alongside the release date, she today unveils the album’s striking official artwork — a visual extension of the immersive, cinematic world she has spent the past year meticulously constructing.

Pre-order/pre-save Paracosm HERE.

“I had to relearn how to create the way I did as a child — without rules, without fear,” Absolutely explains. “Once I tapped back into that freedom, the world of Paracosm opened up completely.”

A kaleidoscopic mix of pop, electronica, jazz, and R&B, the album features previously released singles “Goodbye Glitter,” “I Just Don’t Know You Yet,” and “No Audience,” each offering a window into the record’s emotional and sonic scope. From the viral, piano-pounding transformative catharsis of “I Just Don’t Know You Yet” — which sparked standing ovations on tour and millions of TikTok views this past summer — to the cinematic introspection of recent single “No Audience,” praised by Rolling Stone as “an invitation to create purely for yourself,” Paracosm cements Absolutely as one of the most compelling new voices of her generation and 2026’s de facto artist to watch.

Critics have lauded Absolutely’s ambition and world-building, with publications like British Vogue and The FADER tipping her as one of this year’s most exciting new forces in music. In a recent Flaunt Magazine cover story, the outlet praised how she “moves to her own pulse, effortlessly unique, imbued with her own sense of artistic self,” adding that “her artistry is strikingly and distinctly able to bend the parameters of where alt-R&B and contemporary pop meet—their intersection, in Absolutely’s terrain, is smeared in anything from classical to apocalyptic, electronic synths.”

Wonderland recently celebrated the upcoming Paracosm as “cinematic, haunting, and unafraid of its own drama,” while Dazed praised her “transcendent sound” and “surreal, childlike world-building approach,” which Interview Magazine noted as “dreamy, cathartic, and floating.” Nylon summed it all up succinctly: “Absolutely has mastered the art of the powerhouse vocal.”

The aptly titled Paracosm arrives as Absolutely kicks off a landmark year, joining her sister RAYE’s This Tour May Contain New Music as direct support, alongside her other sister Amma. The tour kicked off last week in Lodz, Poland at the Atlas Arena and will tonight hit the Ziggo Dome for a second night in a row in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The tour will hit major arenas across Europe and the UK this winter before heading to North America in late March, with multiple nights at venues like New York’s Radio City Music Hall and Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre. Between runs, Absolutely will join Reneé Rapp on arena dates across Europe. In addition, Absolutely will take her live show on a festival run, including recently announced sets at Governor’s Ball in New York, NY and Bottle Rock in Napa Valley, CA. See the full routing below and go HERE for more information.

A dramatic expansion of her immersive artistry, Paracosm follows her acclaimed 2023 debut album CEREBRUM. Since then, she has contributed across the discographies of artists like LISA, on GRAMMY-nominated albums by GIVĒON, and Teddy Swims, and recently appeared on collaborations with The Chainsmokers (“Air”) and MARINA (“EVERYBODY KNOWS I’M SAD REMIX”). Her extensive songwriting and collaborative discography includes credits with names like Tiesto, Rudimental, Normani, Coco Jones, Tinashe, Anitta, and more.

With Paracosm, Absolutely doesn’t just invite listeners into her world — she gives them permission to rediscover their own imagination, freedom, and inner child along the way.

Paracosm arrives everywhere February 20, 2026.
