MARK AMBOR REVEALS NEW PROJECT EAST HOUSTON TAPES SET FOR RELEASE NOVEMBER 13

SHARES NEW SONG “BORN FOR YOU” TODAY

October 2, 2026—Breakout artist, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Mark Ambor reveals his new project, East Houston Tapes, is due on November 13 via Capitol Records; pre-save HERE. Ahead of the tapes, Ambor shares a new track, “Born for You,” today—listen HERE and watch the visual HERE.

“The East Houston Tapes came from this period of trying to re-find myself,” says Ambor. “My first album took me on a rollercoaster and left me with immense pressure when I sat back down to write again. Although I haven’t fully created the second album yet, I’ve stumbled into the East Houston Tapes in the process - seven songs recorded at my place with some of my best friends. Named after the street they were made on, these songs are about finding yourself when you’ve seemingly lost your direction, experiencing new people and places, lifting each other up, and always looking forward to tomorrow.”

Written and recorded entirely in his New York City apartment, the project captures the moments following the breakout success of his debut album Rockwood and leaving his hometown of Pleasantville, NY. During brief quiet moments at home in between tour dates, Ambor took to the tapes to share the joy he’s found in his community and the endless possibilities of this new chapter.

Ambor brought in some of his closest collaborators to help create “Born for You;” perennial co-pilot Noel Zancanella (Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, U2) and longtime bandmembers Parker Sundby and Alex Mak. New addition Noah Conrad (Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan, Conan Gray) joins the fold as well to bring the track to life.

East Houston Tapes contains previously released singles “The Proof,” “These Are The Days” and “New York Confident.” He recently previewed his new era of music with a series of pop-up performances across N.Y.C., including a sold-out show at Brooklyn’s Union Pool, a massive gathering at Union Square Park and a packed-out subway car on the 6 Train.

The new music follows a busy 2025 for Ambor, with a completely sold-out European tour, a run of global marquee festival sets at Lollapalooza, Outside Lands and Governors Ball, among others, and a nomination for MTV Push Performance of the Year at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards.

Ambor’s 2024 album Rockwood became a worldwide hit with the breakout single “Belong Together.” The track earned 25 platinum certifications globally, has amassed more than 1 billion streams to date and charted on the Billboard Hot 100. Ambor performed the track for his national television debuts on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and TODAY.

From sharing his first recordings with family and friends in 2016 to amassing tens of millions of monthly listeners and selling out his first headline tour in less than a day, Mark Ambor’s rise has been meteoric. Since his debut EP, Hello World, won him a growing global fanbase, the New York City-based artist has sold out headline tours across the U.S., U.K. and Europe, bringing his dynamic live show to audiences worldwide. Ambor’s most recent headline, The Rockwood Tour, sold out immediately, with additional dates added across multiple cities due to overwhelming demand, including a two-night run at New York City’s Irving Plaza. Ambor’s debut album, Rockwood, was released in August 2024 to widespread praise. More from Ambor is imminent.
