Claud announces third studio album ‘Me and the Music’

Singer-songwriter and producer Claud has announced their third studio album, ‘Me and the Music’, scheduled for release on October 23, 2026, via Dead Oceans. The project marks the artist's first full-length release since 2023’s ‘Supermodels’.

Produced by John Congleton, the 10-track album is described as an emotional shift toward themes of optimism, relief, and community. Claud noted a desire to move away from the seriousness of their previous work, seeking to find joy despite heavy circumstances.

The announcement includes the release of the new single and music video, ‘She Doesn’t Love Me’. The track uses a metaphor of an unrequited relationship to discuss disillusionment with life in America, while ultimately celebrating the strength found in community. The music video features appearances by several artists, including Clairo, Samia, and Annie DiRusso.
