LAUREL Releases Bow Down, Announces New Album
The singer released the self-directed video for her single 'Bow Down' and announced her third studio album, CRYING ON THE TENNIS COURT.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Tennis
LAUREL released the single 'Bow Down' and its music video on November 5, 2026, directing the video herself. She also announced her third studio album, CRYING ON THE TENNIS COURT, scheduled for release via 3 Vultures Records on January 22, 2027.
Why it matters
The album marks LAUREL's first full-length solo project since her 2018 debut DOGVIOLET, and she wrote, recorded, and produced it entirely herself. Her sold-out shows and catalogue of over 340 million streams indicate sustained audience demand ahead of the release.
LAUREL's global catalogue totals over 340 million streams, and her London show at The Waiting Room sold out within hours of going on sale. The figures reflect commercial demand, though the stub gives no breakdown of streams by platform or region.
