Ace is the upcoming third [a] studio album by American musician Madison Cunningham. It is set to be released on October 10, 2025, [1] through Verve Forecast Records. The album was produced by Cunningham alongside Robbie Lackritz. "My Full Name" was released as the album's lead single on August 15, 2025.
Ace will follow up Cunningham's collaboration with singer-songwriter Andrew Bird, Cunningham Bird (2024), which is a track-by-track cover of Buckingham Nicks (1973), as well as Cunningham's second studio album Revealer (2022), the latter of which won a Grammy Award for Best Folk Album. [2]
An official album "bio" for Ace states that the majority of the songs on the album were written in August 2024 following a period of writer's block, and deal with themes of heartbreak, betrayal, and falling in and out of love. [3] Additionally, Cunningham described the album as "the first record that's ever felt like mine from start to finish. It was as light to make as its subject matter was heavy." [4] Cunningham performed much of the new material live throughout early 2025, before the album had been announced. [5]
Lead single "My Full Name" was included on "best songs of the week" lists published by Consequence and Paste . Consequence called the song "as warm as it is sad", praising it as "delicate" and "absolutely lovely". [1] Writing for Paste, Camryn Teder praised the lyrics, calling them "as simultaneously sprawling and intimate as an ancient work of poetry", while declaring the song as a whole to be "swelling with heart and emotion". [6]
All tracks are written by Madison Cunningham, except where noted.
