Mal Not Bad announces new album

Mal Not Bad announces a sophomore album

Mal Not Bad—an LA-based artist and producer known for studio work and high-profile collaborations—has announced a sophomore full-length album and previewed a track from it.

The announcement comes after their 2024 debut, This Is Your New Life, which established the producer’s cross-genre reach. Since then, Mal Not Bad has built a reputation through collaboration credits spanning artists such as Hayley Williams, Mk.gee, and Jay Som.

For listeners, the important development is the new single: “WIDC.” Releasing a lead track alongside an album announcement is a common industry step to turn early interest into momentum ahead of the full release, and it also signals what direction the new project may lean toward.

In a crowded release calendar, the update matters because Mal Not Bad’s prior visibility has largely come through production and feature work; a sophomore album shifts the focus onto their own authored material. If the single lands with fans, it could broaden the audience beyond the circles that already follow their production credits.

No additional release details—like the album title or a street date—were included in the information provided here, so listeners will need to watch for follow-up announcements before planning any release-week listening or presaves.
