Brother Wallace Releases Debut Album, Electric Love Out Today On ATO Records

May 8, 2026 // 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, Electric Love, 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 tour supporting St. Paul & The Broken Bones—a breakout run that has already hit sold-out rooms in major markets including Brooklyn Paramount (NYC), 9:30 Club (Washington, D.C.), and The Salt Shed (Chicago), among others. The support dates wrap tomorrow night, before Wallace turns the page to his own summer run of North American dates and festival stops, then heads overseas for a slate of UK/Europe shows later this season.

 Beyond release week, Wallace’s live momentum continues to build: he’ll open for Mavis Staples at Central Park SummerStage (a FREE show presented in association with the Apollo Theater) on July 16, and will make his Newport Folk Festival debut later this season. Earlier this week, Wallace also brought that momentum to Philadelphia, taking the stage last night at WXPN’s influential NON-COMMvention—an annual gathering that brings public radio music programmers, music media, and industry from across North America to Philly to spotlight emerging and established artists.

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.
