Rising singer-songwriter Ian Harrison is stepping into the spotlight with the announcement of his debut EP, ‘Jealous,' set for release on May 22, 2026. Alongside the news, Harrison has unveiled his latest single, ‘Not Yours,' a track that captures the emotional weight of holding on when you know you probably shouldn’t. Pre-save here
The seven-track project introduces Harrison as a compelling new voice in the singer-songwriter space, one unafraid to sit in uncertainty. At just 24, ‘Jealous' reflects what he describes as the “quiet chaos” of early adulthood—where questions about identity, direction, and purpose linger just beneath the surface. Rather than framing jealousy as purely negative, Harrison reimagines it as a signal—something that points inward, encouraging growth instead of comparison.
Across the EP, he explores themes of longing, rejection, faith, and emotional growing pains, building a body of work that feels both introspective and relatable. Previously released tracks like ‘Cigarette' and ‘Games' offer early glimpses into that world, blending reflective lyricism with a modern, stripped-back sound.
‘Not Yours,' the latest release, leans into one of the project’s most universal emotions: the inability to let go. Harrison describes it as more than just heartbreak—it’s about the mental and emotional block that keeps you tethered to someone, even when everything tells you to move forward. The result is a track that feels raw, honest, and quietly devastating.
The release comes as Harrison continues to build momentum on the road. He is currently supporting Cooper Alan on the UK leg of the TO THE PARK TOUR, with stops including Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, and two nights in Glasgow. Last week's Birmingham show marks another key milestone in his rapidly growing live presence.

Fresh off his debut festival appearance at Extra Innings Festival, Harrison is quickly establishing himself as an artist to watch in 2026. With ‘Jealous,' he offers not just a collection of songs, but a candid snapshot of a moment in life many listeners will recognise—messy, uncertain, and full of meaning.
