Yes, baby, Madison Beer has announced the release date for her upcoming album, Locket, which will arrive in January 2026.
Beer made the news official via Instagram on Wednesday (Oct. 22), while also revealing the project’s cover art, which finds the pop star holding a golden heart-shaped locket.
Locket is slated to be released on Jan. 16 via Epic Records, and Beer shared that she’s never been “so proud” or “excited” about a project in her career.
“Locket , my new album , will be yours 1.16 you can preorder it now – link is in my bio (♡ ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈ ) !!!!!!!! i really can’t believe i am saying this,” she captioned her post. “This album means the world to me, i’ve never been so proud or excited about something n i am soooooo beyond excited for you to listen :’)) this project is my world locket 1.16 !!!”
The artist also said in a press release, “After writing the album, it feels like each song lives within this metaphorical locket for safekeeping. Each album feels like an era and once the albums are out in the world the chapter for me, usually with what I wrote about, is closed.”
The 26-year-old set the table for the album with a trio of singles: “Yes Baby,” “Bittersweet” and “Make You Mine.”
Beer released a self-directed visual for the airy “Bittersweet” on Monday (Oct. 20), which finds her evading paparazzi and arguing with The Summer I Turned Pretty star Sean Kaufman.
“I think the album has such duality — there are songs that are upbeat but still emotional,” she told Vogue of Locket in an interview also published Oct. 22. “It’s a real roller coaster.”
It’s been a fun month for Beer. She made her Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show debut Oct. 15 in Brooklyn, where she sported wings and performed tracks such as the aforementioned “Bittersweet” and “Make You Mine” during the show.
Beer’s last album, Silence Between Songs, arrived in September 2023 and reached No. 86 on the Billboard 200. The dreamy pop project was also nominated for best immersive audio album at the Grammy Awards.
