Måneskin have officially unveiled their long-awaited 2026 album Whispers in Amber, confirming both its release date and a tracklist that fans have been buzzing about for months. The Italian rock phenomenon, who first stormed the global stage after their Eurovision win in 2021, are promising an ambitious record that blends their raw energy with a darker, more experimental edge.
Set to be released worldwide on May 15, 2026, Whispers in Amber marks the band’s most anticipated project to date. Sources close to the group have hinted that this new album draws on themes of fragility, passion, and rebirth, offering listeners a cinematic journey through both intimate ballads and explosive anthems.
The tracklist, revealed earlier today on the band’s social media accounts, features a mix of English and Italian songs. Among the highlights are Velvet Chains, Ashes in the Spotlight, and the haunting title track Whispers in Amber, which is expected to become the centerpiece of the record. Fans can also look forward to collaborations that remain under wraps but are rumored to include some of the biggest names in alternative rock.
Here’s the confirmed tracklist:
- Whispers in Amber
- Velvet Chains
- Ashes in the Spotlight
- Shadows Over Rome
- Glass Hearts and Gasoline
- Fire in My Veins
- Lullaby for a Storm
- Neon Cathedral
- Hunger at Midnight
- Petals and Poison
- The Last Serenade
Frontman Damiano David has described the album as “the most honest we’ve ever been,” explaining that the writing process pushed the band into uncharted territory. “We wanted to capture that tension between beauty and destruction,” he said in a recent interview. “Every track is a snapshot of a moment where light meets darkness.”
Victoria De Angelis, the band’s bassist, emphasized the experimentation that went into the production. “We played with a lot of textures—acoustic moments that collapse into heavy riffs, electronic touches woven into raw rock. It’s still Måneskin, but with sharper edges and softer whispers,” she revealed.
The group recorded Whispers in Amber between Los Angeles, Rome, and London, working with renowned producers who have previously collaborated with the likes of Arctic Monkeys and Muse. This international approach has given the album a global sound while staying true to their fiery Italian roots.
Early previews from insiders suggest that standout tracks include Shadows Over Rome, which pairs moody strings with gritty guitar, and Fire in My Veins, an adrenaline-fueled anthem that recalls their early rock’n’roll spirit. Meanwhile, Lullaby for a Storm is being called one of the most vulnerable songs Måneskin have ever written, offering fans a glimpse into their softer side.
As part of the rollout, Måneskin are also preparing a massive world tour scheduled to kick off in late summer 2026. While dates have not yet been officially announced, venues across Europe, North America, and South America are already rumored to be booked, signaling another year of sold-out arenas and festival headlining slots.
With Whispers in Amber, Måneskin are set to once again redefine what modern rock can sound like. If their past records lit the fire, this one seems poised to turn the blaze into an inferno—an album that could very well cement their place as one of the most important rock bands of the decade.
