Nate Sib announces debut album reborn, shares single “Face Card”
LA electropop artist Nate Sib has confirmed details of his debut album. reborn's announcement comes with a new single, “Face Card”, alongside a video directed by Morgan Maher. Sib is currently playing the biggest rooms of his career as direct support on Joji’s North American arena tour.
The album follows last year’s for us, a release that sketched out Sib’s take on pop: dystopian beats collided with sleek, boyband-indebted vocals. On reborn, the writing wades further into personal territory, using the music as a lifeline. The record traces themes of love, destiny, and gratitude, and Sib has been hinting at more stripped-back arrangements, suggesting a vulnerable side that moves beyond the hyperpop of his earlier tracks.
Sib first surfaced with “why can’t you see” before releasing the for you EP, which included the singles “down” and “wish”. “famous” built further momentum and led to his signing with Republic Records. Earlier this year, Zane Lowe named him among the artists set to shape the sound of 2026 in his 26 in ’26 list. Now, the live show is catching up. The Joji tour takes in arena stops in Phoenix, two nights at Inglewood’s Intuit Dome, San Francisco’s Chase Center, Portland’s Moda Center, Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena, Salt Lake City's Maverik Center, and Denver’s Ball Arena.
The video for “Face Card” was directed by Morgan Maher, known for her high-profile cover shoots and Girls in Bed photo book. Her video frames Sib in tight, restless shots that match the track’s propulsion. Check it out below.
