"Whitney Announces New Single and World Tour"
Whitney has made waves with the release of their new single “Damage,” a highlight from their forthcoming album, Small Talk, set to drop on November 7th via AWAL. The song explores themes of heartbreak with the band’s characteristic warmth and introspective songwriting. Vocalist Julien Ehrlich noted that while they sought to avoid creating another breakup song, they ultimately realized vulnerability is essential to their artistry. With “Damage,” Whitney captures the essence of their sound while pushing their creative envelope.
The upcoming album, Small Talk, promises to be Whitney’s most powerful record to date. It is a testament to the duo’s growth since their inception in 2015. After a decade of living and creating together, Ehrlich and guitarist Max Kakacek chose to record this album independently, inviting friends to contribute, allowing them a level of freedom they had never explored before. As a result, listeners can anticipate 11 songs that exhibit both instant classics and fresh sonic dynamics.
Whitney is set to embark on an expansive world tour kicking off this fall. The tour will include a series of headlining shows in the UK in February 2026, along with stops across Europe, North America, and Australia. Fans can now purchase tickets through whitneytheband.com.
