GLAIVE CONFIRMS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FORTHCOMING ALBUM Y’ALL SET FOR SEPTEMBER 26
September 8, 2025—Today, 20-year-old North Carolina-based artist glaive confirms his forthcoming, highly anticipated album, Y’ALL, set for release September 26—presave/preorder here.
The first two singles taken from the project, “Appalachia” and “Asheville” are out now, drawing critical acclaim from Stereogum, who lauded, “Immediately, ‘Asheville’ is one of Glaive’s strongest singles” and Grimy Goods, who praised, “his jittery-trap sound, fueled by percussion, is a step in a new direction”—watch the video for “Asheville” directed by Tommy Pointer here.
Produced by John Cunningham (Lil Nas X, Miley Cyrus), Ralph Castelli (Dora Jar, The Neighbourhood) and longtime collaborator Jeff Hazin (Kali Uchis, renforshort), the new album will follow a pair of releases from glaive last year. His sophomore album, May It Never Falter, released independently in October, was named as one of the best of 2024 by Vogue Magazine and his latest EP, a bit of a mad one, saw praise from NPR Music, V Magazine and more.
From his beginnings in Hendersonville, North Carolina (population 15k), to opening for The Kid LAROI on The First Time tour last year, glaive has become a name synonymous with a scene that redefines pop, not by distancing itself from tradition but by forging a new, innovative style. His previous works, including cypress grove, all dogs go to heaven, and then i’ll be happy, have all cemented him as a standout artist, lauded by the likes of The New York Times, Vulture, GQ and The FADER.
His second studio album released in late 2024, May It Never Falter, was hailed as a genre-defying body of work that marked the beginning of an independent chapter in his artistry. The album served as a coming-of-age narrative set against the backdrop of adolescence and self-discovery. May It Never Falter was recorded in the remote landscapes of Iceland and Wales, continuing the Sigur Rós-inspired approach to isolated, immersive recording environments that began with his debut album, i care so much i don’t care at all (2023). The album was supported by an extensive North American and European tour in spring of 2025.
