Description

Malcolm Todd – Do That Again – 140 Gram Vinyl Record

Do That Again finds Malcolm Todd writing through the growth that followed Sweet Boy and his self-titled debut, turning a fast-changing personal life into thirteen concise alternative R&B and indie-pop songs. Recorded over six months at Electric Lady Studios in New York and Chaplin Recording Studios in Los Angeles, the album keeps the loose, intimate appeal of his earlier work while sharpening its arrangements. Todd’s smooth melodic voice sits inside guitar figures, elastic rhythm, synth color, and production that allows awkward humor to coexist with genuine hurt.

“Jean Skirt” opens with attraction rendered in specific, slightly off-center detail, while “Breathe” uses layered vocals and guitar to make emotional pressure feel physical. “Free.99” brings money and value into the language of relationships, and “Obsessica” pushes infatuation toward caricature without losing the feeling underneath. Todd’s writing often works through contradiction: he can make a joke while admitting dependence, sound casual while repeating a thought compulsively, or use a bright groove to carry a line that reveals how poorly someone is coping.

“I Saw Your Face” provides one of the album’s clearest emotional pivots. Written after a breakup and rebuilt late in the recording process, it captures the difficulty of leaving a failing relationship when recognition still arrives with force. “Difficult Love” and “Malcolm in the Middle” continue the self-examination, placing the narrator between desire and responsibility. The songs resist the posture of someone who has solved his problems; their appeal comes from hearing Todd notice his own patterns while he is still caught inside them.

The second half becomes increasingly direct. “Ain’t That the Truth” tests confession against defensiveness, “Gun to My Head” raises the emotional stakes, and “X’s & O’s” uses familiar romantic symbols in a less stable context. “Lonely Song” turns isolation into synth-funk melancholy, pairing an inviting surface with images of sparse domestic life. Todd’s ear for melody keeps the record accessible, but the arrangements preserve rough edges and sudden changes that make the songs feel like lived moments rather than polished conclusions.

“Good Bye” and the title track bring the album toward separation and repetition. Do That Again can sound like a request, a dare, or an admission that a pattern is likely to return. That ambiguity summarizes the record’s approach to growth: new awareness does not guarantee a clean break from familiar behavior. Todd remains part R&B romantic and part alternative-rock observer, delivering lines with enough lightness to keep the album mobile while the cumulative sequence reveals a young artist taking his own consequences more seriously.

This standard vinyl edition presents all thirteen tracks on a black 140-gram record in a single-pocket jacket. The package includes a printed inner sleeve and a 12-by-12-inch insert, giving the visual concept room beyond the streaming cover. The exact UPC identifies the Columbia Records edition released June 5, 2026, rather than signed white, red, burgundy, or splatter variants. It is the complete physical album sequence from “Jean Skirt” through “Do That Again,” matched to the standard retail pressing.
