Amber Mark Gears Up for 2026 With Pretty Idea Tour & New Album

Amber Mark is entering 2026 on a high. Following the release of her acclaimed sophomore album Pretty Idea—celebrated by Pitchfork, NPR, VIBE, NYLON, and more—the genre-bending singer, songwriter, and producer has officially announced her biggest headlining run to date: The Pretty Idea Tour.

The North American leg kicks off February 25 in Nashville, hitting major cities like Atlanta, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles before heading overseas for a UK and European run in April. Rising star SHERWYN will join her on the North American dates.

Presale begins October 15 at 10 a.m. local time, with general on-sale starting October 17.

Riding the Momentum of Pretty Idea

Pretty Idea arrives via Big Family Music/Interscope Records and builds on the kaleidoscopic world Amber introduced with her 2022 debut Three Dimensions Deep. Across 12 tracks, she weaves together R&B, alt-soul, indie-folk, and dream-pop into a sound that’s both timeless and fresh.

The album opens with the Motown-inspired “Sweet Serotonin,” dips into disco with “Let Me Love You,” and playfully nods to the past on “Too Much,” which interpolates My Boo by Usher and Alicia Keys. One of the standout moments is “Don’t Remind Me,” a silky, soulful collab with nine-time Grammy winner Anderson .Paak.

The accompanying video, directed by Olivia de Camps, brings their chemistry to life in a surreal, wedding-crashing scene set in a nursing home—hosted by none other than ’90s icon Carmen Electra. It’s equal parts cheeky, stylish, and cinematic.

From Loosies to the Big Stage

The new album follows last year’s Loosies EP—a breezy, genre-fluid collection that kept fans fed while Amber finished Pretty Idea. Tracks like “Wait So Yeah,” “Won’t Cry,” and “Sink In” earned praise from The New York Times, Wonderland, and The Fader, all pointing to the creative freedom she’s now fully embracing.

Amber will first warm up crowds this fall as a special guest on Sabrina Carpenter’s massive Short n’ Sweet tour—including five sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden and six at Crypto.com Arena—before launching her own tour early next year.
