Hope & Fury

Iconic singer songwriter Joe Jackson will release a new studio album titled "Hope & Fury" on April 10th, 2026. This is the 22nd studio album from Jackson in his famed career, the record features lyrics like this, suggesting he’s pretty fired up these days, “Hello cruel world, I’m not going away, so I might as well have my say”.

Featuring 9 new songs, this album showcases Jackson’s ability to stay true to his vision, and challenge himself in the studio, even this far into his career. A news release quotes Jackson’s recent statement given in rare interview to the UK’s Chap magazine, “I always knew I was in this music thing for life. So every now and again I’m going to do something different, to keep it interesting”.

After laying the groundwork for the album in Michael Tibes’ Fuzz Songs Full Of Contrast, Humour & Heart Factory Studio in Berlin, Jackson returned to New York’s Reservoir Studios with co-producer Patrick Dillett and assembled his on and off band since 2016, 'bassist for life' Graham Maby, guitarist Teddy Kumpel, and drummer Doug Yowell, augmented by the Latin percussion of Peruvian native Paulo Stagnaro. The result might strike a fan as a cross between 2019’s "Fool", 1991’s "Laughter & Lust", and 1982’s "Night & Day".
