Yangze's Debut Album Heartbreak Stew Arrives November 13
Heartbreak Stew, the debut album from Yangze, the project of producer and composer Jakob Littauer, arrives on November 13, 2026. Apple Music files it as a 13-track album, not a single or EP, opening with "Okay" and closing with "Still So Pretty." That matches the announcement calling the record his debut LP.
Berlin, then Copenhagen
The announcement describes the album as being about love, being in transit, and how returning home can be just as transformative as leaving. It says the record was made while Littauer was living in Berlin, working at a shawarma bar, producing for other artists, and writing on the move, including on the U-Bahn. A line on "Stew" puts that schedule in plain view: "Only got time for take-out."
The last part of the album, the announcement said, came together after he returned to Copenhagen.
Several songs are already on Apple Music as singles: "Heart-Shaped Eyes," dated April 1, 2026; "Stew," dated June 24, 2026; "Okay," dated September 23, 2026; and "F**k No," dated October 14, 2026.
"I've become addicted to transforming, and I realised coming home can be just as transformative as leaving it," Yangze said.
The 13 songs
Between "Okay" and "Still So Pretty" sit "Heart-Shaped Eyes," "In My Room," "Nine High," "My Element," "Piano Song," "Stew," "Not Okay," "Your Hand," "Interlude," "Let It Go," and "F**k No." The album is up for pre-save and preorder at yngz.lnk.to/heartbreak, and on Bandcamp.
That debut sits with other recent indie arrivals here, from Faust's "Close Wasn't Close Enough" and Chastity Belt's All My Friends to Computerwife's "Hammered" and Orca's Shed EP.
