Some debuts feel like introductions. ‘Electric Love‘ feels like an arrival. Today, West Point, Georgia-bred singer, pianist, and soul revivalist Brother Wallace releases his long-awaited debut album, out now via ATO Records—a 13-song statement of purpose from an artist whose joy feels earned, gospel-rooted, and built for the stage.

‘Electric Love’ is the sound of a voice finding its full power in real time: sweat-lit soul music that knows the weight of the world and still insists on movement, light, and connection. Produced and co-written with Dan Taylor (The Heavy) and recorded at Peter Gabriel’s legendary Real World Studios in England, the album captures Wallace with startling immediacy—engineered and mixed by Bob Mackenzie (James Blake, The 1975, King Krule, SAULT) and Jim Abbiss (Adele, Arctic Monkeys). As MOJO recently wrote, it’s a “hothouse blend of pop smarts and confessional songwriting… a vocal style that blends Little Richard with Johnnie Taylor,” adding that Brother Wallace “seizes the spotlight.”
Release day also marks a full-circle moment: Brother Wallace celebrates tonight with a hometown show in Atlanta at The Eastern (5/8), bringing Electric Love into the world in the region that raised him—where church musicianship, band culture, and community tradition shaped the foundation of his sound. That same energy has been igniting rooms night after night on Wallace’s first-ever major US tour in support of St. Paul & The Broken Bones.
Wallace is set to arrive in the UK for the first time this May. The visit includes performances at The Great Escape and Cross the Tracks, as well as two headline shows in Manchester and London. Full dates are listed below.
May
Thurs 14th – The Great Escape, Komedia, Brighton
Fri 15th – The Great Escape, Brighthelm, Brighton
Mon 18th – The Castle, Manchester
Weds 20th – Colours Hoxton, London
Sun 24th – Cross The Tracks, London
Tickets available here.
Beyond release week, Wallace’s live momentum continues to build: he’ll open for Mavis Staples at Central Park SummerStage on July 16, and will make his Newport Folk Festival debut later this season.
That live momentum has translated in-studio as well: Wallace recently delivered standout sessions for Minnesota Public Radio’s The Current and WXPN, including a “Free At Noon” performance in Philadelphia that WXPN described as “a barnburner” — an afternoon dance party that “hearkened to the old days of Motown, soul, and gospel.” Watch The Current session here.
