Jessica Mauboy Announces New Album and Tour

Jessica Mauboy has announced her fifth studio album Yours Forever will arrive on Friday, 9th February 2024. The follow-up to 2019’s Hilda, we’ve already heard a number of singles from the record – including ‘Glow’, ‘Automatic’, and ‘Right Here, Right Now’. Mauboy has now released a new single called ‘Give You Love’, which was co-written with Melbourne soul singer WILSN and features her Voice co-host Jason Derulo.

“The collaboration came together quite magically, like beautiful, glistening, crystal-clear water flowing together. When we sent the song to WILSN and she heard my voice on the track for the first time, she burst into tears,” Mauboy shared of the track. “Jason is such an incredible singer and he’s got such a deep soul and spirit. He grew up singing in church and was classically trained, so I had no doubt he would sound amazing on this special song.”

On the album, Mauboy said it’s her “at my truest self”. “[I’m] comfortable in my skin, not comparing myself or trying to be someone or something that anyone expects me to be,” said the singer. “When you strip it all back, musically it’s beautiful melodies, storytelling lyrics, rhythms that connect with the soul, and it has a depth that I’ve never gone to or shared before.”

Mauboy has also announced a lengthy Australian tour in support of the album, with 22 shows scheduled across the country throughout March, April, and May. It’ll all kick off at the Gippsland Performing Arts Centre in Traralgon on Tuesday, 12th March, taking in all major cities and regional centres before coming to an end in Canberra on Friday, 3rd May.

Aside from the 2024 tour, Mauboy has a few festival dates coming up including the Yarrabah Music & Cultural Festival in North Queensland later this year, which will take place on Saturday, 7th October at the Jilara Oval in Yarrabah.
