Cosmic Opera: Act I is the fourth studio album by British musician Labrinth, released by Columbia Records on 30 January 2026.
The first three singles from the album were "Orchestra", "S.W.M.F." and "Implosion".
Critical reception Rolling Stone called it "an album where Labrinth has been uncompromising in his grand vision and delivered something that sounds all the better for it."
Billboard wrote: "With his latest album, Cosmic Opera Act I, he fuses orchestral elements with his more expected futuristic production, resulting in what has been coined as a 'modern opera.'"
The Guardian called it "Moody and cinematic, songs such as Implosion and S.W.M.F., bolt expansive strings on to pounding hip-hop beats."
