Newsletter: Malcolm Todd shares new single & video “I Saw Your Face”

[THIS IS A PRESS RELEASE]

After a breakout year that saw his first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 and a sold-out international headline tour spanning three continents, Malcolm kicked off 2026 with “Breathe,” his highest debut ever reaching the top 50 on Spotify day one.
