Regina Song Returns With Sophmore Album Everland: A New Era of Southeast Asian Pop Music
Singaporean singer-songwriter and viral pop phenomenon Regina Song is poised to elevate her artistic trajectory with the announcement of her highly anticipated sophomore studio album, everland. Scheduled for a worldwide release on June 26, 2026, the project marks a significant evolution in her discography, transitioning from the long-distance adoration themes of her debut, fangirl, to a more grounded exploration of the complexities inherent in real-life relationships. Regina describes this new body of work as “a wonderland of core memories that seem to live on forever,” offering listeners an intimate, coming-of-age narrative centered on the emotional volatility of young adulthood.
Drawing thematic inspiration from the classic narrative of Alice in Wonderland, the album serves as a dreamlike exploration of romance, vulnerability, and self-discovery. This project builds upon the foundations established by her 2025 EP, the gates, which acted as a precursor to the vivid, surreal universe present throughout the new record. Songwriting duties were handled primarily by Regina herself, with a notable contribution on the track ‘Dreamer’s Song’ co-written with Alicia DC. The tracklist includes evocative titles such as ‘Kisses by the Shore’, ‘Mourning Rain’, ‘Mars’, and ‘Your Charm’. Furthermore, the song ‘But What Do You Think?’ highlights her sharp-witted lyricism, featuring the line, “You’d hate him / Despise him / Off with his head”, which serves as a clever nod to the album’s central literary motif.
From a sonic perspective, everland synthesizes diaristic, singer-songwriter sensibilities with broader global pop production. Regina cites influences ranging from the narrative precision of Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Gracie Abrams, and Sabrina Carpenter to the high-concept structural aesthetics of K-pop acts including BLACKPINK, NewJeans, and Heize. The production, spearheaded by Ian Lee, ALICIA DC, and Regina Song, delivers a polished, versatile soundscape. This release arrives as Regina cements her status as a primary fixture in the Southeast Asian music scene, backed by a portfolio that includes over 100 million online streams, a consistent base of more than 700,000 monthly Spotify listeners, and critical recognition from publications such as Vogue and Time Out Magazine. Having served as a Spotify RADAR and Spotify EQUAL artist, with notable appearances at festivals like Wanderland and LaLaLa, Regina Song enters this chapter with significant industry momentum.
