Australian producer Maxwell Byrne, known as 1tbsp, will release his debut album on February 5, 2027, following the new single "Carottes" with French artist miki.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Music — General
Australian producer 1tbsp has announced his debut album, big soaps, scheduled for release on February 5, 2027 via the label dottidot. The announcement comes alongside the new single "Carottes," a collaboration with French artist miki that is accompanied by an official video.
Why it matters
The album marks the first full-length release from 1tbsp, the musical project of producer Maxwell Byrne, who began the project in 2021 after earlier work as Golden Vessel. The single's cross-border collaboration, sung in French with a Korean-language bridge, reflects an international approach to the record.
The album was developed from a roughly two-hour writing session in Paris, where Byrne and miki wrote three songs, two of which will appear on big soaps. The total track count and final running time of the album have not been disclosed.
