Son Little announces his fourth album ‘CITYFOLK’, his first full-length release since 2022. Alongside the announcement, he shares the new single “Be Better,” a song centered on release, resilience, and forward motion. ‘CITYFOLK’ reflects Little’s long-standing relationship with music that exists between categories, shaped by storytelling rather than genre boundaries, and builds on a body of work that draws from folk, rock, hip-hop, blues, R and B, and country without settling into any single lane.
The album was developed after Little relocated outside Atlanta and traveled to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, to record in January 2025 with producer and musician Ben Tanner. Sessions began with voice note demos and acoustic sketches before expanding into layered arrangements that incorporated drum machines, live rhythm sections, and horn parts. Recorded in and around Shoals, the project reflects both a personal exploration of family history and the collaborative chemistry formed during the sessions, resulting in an album shaped by place, process, and shared musical language.
