Robbie Furze’s new project begins with a personal collision: the loss of his mother and the arrival of his daughter. The self-titled M.O.T.H.E.R. EP, announced as released May 15, 2026 through Fullaway Records, turns that moment into the starting point for an evolving collaborative identity. Big Hassle Media shared the campaign with Exposed Vocals, with Jamie Hince and Jamie T among the contributors to this first four-track chapter.

A project allowed to change shape

The useful distinction in the announcement is Furze’s decision to build an open project rather than a fixed lineup. His history in The Big Pink and Panic DHH supplies a recognizable point of entry, but the campaign does not present M.O.T.H.E.R. as another permanent band assembled around a celebrity guest list. It describes long-standing creative relationships and leaves future contributors, sounds and directions deliberately unsettled.

That flexibility matters to the story. A debut can establish a set of songs without locking the next release into the same emotional circumstances. Here, the inaugural EP is tied to bereavement, parenthood and mutual support; the next installment can answer a different moment. Furze’s campaign comments frame the collaborators as friends gathering around an experience, with the possibility of a different approach next time.

Hope inside “MY LOVE”

The lead track is “MY LOVE.” In the supplied release, Furze explains that its apparent love-story language grew from losing his mother while having his daughter and trying to retain hope. That background makes the song’s title more expansive than a conventional romantic premise: love becomes family, continuity and something that survives disruption.

The campaign describes the EP in terms of large hooks and anthemic songwriting. Those are the publicity materials’ descriptions, rather than a claim of an Exposed Vocals listening review. Readers can explore the official music links alongside this feature and decide how that stated ambition translates into the recordings.

Four songs, one first chapter

The tracklist runs “MY LOVE,” “REAL HUMAN,” “TRAITOR” and “SURRENDER.” The release also includes an official “MY LOVE” video credited in the announcement to Madrid-based AI visual artist YZA Voku. The visual is an accompanying creative work; the artwork used for this article was supplied in the Big Hassle campaign.

What gives this debut its editorial focus is the relationship between a specific life event and a structure built to move beyond it. M.O.T.H.E.R. begins with Furze and familiar collaborators responding to grief and new life, then keeps the door open for another configuration. The first EP establishes an origin without requiring that origin to dictate everything that follows.
