Simpson leaked the album on March 1, 2026, via YouTube, before its official physical-only release on March 13.[3]
From its March 1 leak and official March 13 release, the album received largely positive reviews.[2][4][5][6]
The album is a "protest against oppression and suppression, and the only tried and tested true antidote to that is pure, unfiltered, unapologetic, relentless disco-hedonism," Simpson said in a letter to fans.[7]
