Hawaiian superstar Maoli has officially announced his next studio album, MMO3, set for release on August 28, while giving fans another preview of the project with the release of the new single “Good On You.” Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer J-Vibe (Jason Farmer), the forthcoming record continues the acclaimed Maoli Music Overload (MMO) series that has become one of the defining chapters of the artist’s career.
The 12-track album follows the success of the first two MMO releases in 2023, helping propel Maoli beyond 1.1 billion lifetime streams while expanding his audience far beyond Hawaii. MMO3 continues to blend roots reggae, island soul, country, and contemporary pop influences, creating the warm, uplifting sound that has made Maoli one of the most successful independent artists in island music.
Leading the album is “Good On You,” a reflective new single that showcases Maoli’s gift for heartfelt songwriting and relatable storytelling. The track joins previously released songs including “Some Are Just Better,” “Feels Like Love,” “Clarity” featuring Kabaka Pyramid, and “Runnin’ Me Off” featuring Maddie Font of Maddie & Tae, giving listeners an early look at the musical range of the upcoming album.
For Maoli, the music has always carried a purpose beyond commercial success.
“If I have one person listening, 10 people listening, or 10,000 people listening, it doesn’t matter. I want to show the world we’re very similar, and I think it’s my purpose. I really believe this music we play could do a lot of great things.”
That philosophy continues throughout MMO3, with songs centered on love, optimism, family, resilience, and the shared values connecting island life and country culture. Since embracing his country influences in recent years, Maoli has found an even broader audience while remaining deeply connected to his Hawaiian roots.
The album follows an extraordinary run for the artist. In 2025, Maoli made his Grand Ole Opry debut, appeared nationally on The TODAY Show, released Last Sip of Summer along with its Island Vibe Edition, and completed an international tour that sold more than 40,000 tickets across the opening New Zealand dates alone. Stops also included Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena, Los Angeles‘ Greek Theatre, and New York City’s Webster Hall, marking another milestone in his expanding global reach.
Maoli’s momentum continues this summer with appearances at the Northwest Washington Fair, Concerts on the Slopes, the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, his hometown performance in Hilo, Hawaii, and Bourbon & Beyond in Louisville before MMO3 officially arrives on August 28.
With MMO3, Maoli continues to bridge Hawaiian culture, reggae rhythms, and modern country songwriting, further establishing himself as one of the genre’s most distinctive crossover artists while staying true to the message of unity and positivity that has defined his music from the very beginning.
