Atlanta is the third and final[1] studio album by the American music duo Gnarls Barkley, released on March 6, 2026, by 10K Projects and Atlantic Records.[1][2]
Background
In 2008, Gnarls Barkley released their second studio album The Odd Couple, which peaked at number 12 on the Billboard 200.[3] The duo went on hiatus for 18 years, until February 26, 2026, when they announced a third and final album.[4] The same day as the announcement, the duo released one of the songs as a single, the song being "Pictures".[1] The album was released on March 6, 2026.[1]
Release and promotion
Atlanta was first teased back in 2013, with Green sporadically promising a third Gnarls Barkley album for the ensuing decade-plus.[5] Atlanta was released on March 3, 2026, and has been billed as the duo's final album.[6] The album has 13 tracks, including the single "Pictures".[1]
Green stated of the song:[7]
"Pictures" is like going back to square one, It's a full circle moment. The spirit of Gnarls Barkley is always self-discovery. The sweet, the sad, and the strange. The universe, the adventure inside of yourself [...] The song came from a childhood experience. I had a middle school principal who, every Friday would tell me to go when I would get to school. Without fail. I was in 8th grade and I would leave school and ride the train alone from 8 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. The hook of the song is literally about being on the train. When you are in transit it's like a motion picture passing you by… staring out the window of the MARTA train.
