2hollis's Pirouette is out, 16 songs and a Final Fantasy artist on the cover

If your playlist runs from Playboi Carti's pitch-bent chaos to the soft-focus end of internet rap, 2hollis has just handed you a new record to sort out. Pirouette, his fifth album, came out on 11 November 2026 through Interscope Records, and it runs to 16 songs.

Here is what is on it, and where to start.

The basics

2hollis is a 22-year-old American singer and rapper (his name on paper is Hollis Parker Frazier-Herndon). His last album, Star, arrived in April 2025 and reached No. 11 on the US Top Dance Albums chart. Since then he has played Coachella, Lollapalooza and ComplexCon in Las Vegas and finished a sold-out North American and European tour.

Pirouette is the follow-up. The listing shows 16 tracks and no guest artists on any of them, so this is 2hollis alone start to finish. Vinyl and CD editions are on pre-order at 2hollis.life, with some retail listings dated 13 November.

The cover

The artwork is a hand-drawn piece by Yoshitaka Amano, the Japanese illustrator best known for his work on Final Fantasy and Vampire Hunter D. Amano has said 2hollis's gentle, sensitive presence matched the image he already had in mind. If you grew up on those games, the look will land immediately.

Start here

"Spring (Love Me)" opens the album. It samples "Flashback Sound" by kuwagataP, a Vocaloid track built around the Hatsune Miku voice, and 2hollis co-produced it with skai. It is the clearest signal of where the record sits: pop melody run through a game-console haze.

"Hurt" and "Sex" are the earlier singles. "Hurt" came out in late July, "Sex" followed on 18 September.

"Warhorse" is the other lead single, released in late September.

Beyond the singles, the tracklist reads like a diary: "Skin", "The Lady in Red", "Pressure", "Human After All", "Sophie", "Eyes Wide Closed", "Betrayal", "i2i", "Today", "Heaven Speaker", "My One and Only" and the closer "Daisy". One of them, "My One and Only", runs just over a minute.

Why it matters to your queue

2hollis sits in the corner of rap where the melodies are the point and the production is built in layers: some of his project files reportedly reach 300 stacked tracks, against about 50 for Star. That is the same internet-first lane as Playboi Carti, Yeat and Ken Carson, but he leans toward romance and tenderness where they lean toward noise. Any reading of what the album is about is ours, not his.

He has also lined up a 2027 tour with Lucy Bedroque and Conceal. We will add dates to the gig guide once the venues are official.

If you like him, try

• Playboi Carti: the loud end of the same internet.
• Yeat: bell-heavy beats and a voice that bends like a synth.
• Ken Carson: rage-rap at full volume.

This is a factual guide to a record that is just out. We are not scoring it. Read the dates and credits above against his official channels before you buy anything.
