Rex Orange County finally let other people in — and Dream Fatigue is better for it.

The British singer-songwriter released his sixth album, Dream Fatigue, on Friday, November 6, 2026 — 12 tracks in 39 minutes, and his first record built with other people instead of alone in his room.

For the first time, he opened his usually self-contained process to collaborators: co-executive producers Mustafa and Dylan Wiggins (Rosalía, Justin Bieber), plus Turnstile’s Brendan Yates, Dev Hynes, Daniel Caesar, dexter in the newsagent and Taylor Skye of Jockstrap.

The album follows a protagonist who adopts different personas to win over the girl he loves — reflected in playful song titles including “Hannah Montana,” “Grandma Song” and “Roleplay.” Yes, there is really a song called “Hannah Montana.”

Previously released tracks include “Hannah Montana,” “Grandma Song,” “Indecision (feat. Daniel Caesar)” and “Iron Man,” which debuted via a COLORS performance the day before release.

The album cycle kicked off on the main stage at All Points East in London, collaborating with Tyler, the Creator — and the Turnstile crossover is real, too, with Brendan Yates in the room. Rex plays EartH in London on November 8.

Early verdict: 4/5 stars — “love songs about costumes and stages… nosy, tender, and exact.”

Dream Fatigue is out now — stream it, learn the personas, and pick your favourite costume.
