Hope and Fury
2026 studio album by Joe Jackson
Hope and Fury is the 22nd studio album by English singer-songwriter and musician Joe Jackson, released by earMUSIC on 10 April 2026.
Jackson has described Hope and Fury as "bicoastal Latin-jazz-funk-rock". He was particularly inspired lyrically by England and the "kind of love-hate relationship" that he has with it.
Jackson is set to embark on an 80-date tour to promote the album, covering North America between May and July 2026 and Europe between September and December 2026.
Recording
Hope and Fury was recorded at the Fuzz Factory Studio in Berlin and Reservoir Studios in New York City. Jackson recorded demo tracks in Brooklyn prior to the main recording sessions. As he felt he could not improve his lead vocals on some of these demos, Jackson retained the vocal tracks for approximately half of the proper recordings.
Song information
"Welcome to Burning-By-Sea" was inspired by Jackson's observations on modern day England. He started writing the song about Brighton but ended up drawing more inspiration from his hometown of Portsmouth and the contrast between the two cities. He presented the song as being about a fictional seaside town but called it a "microcosm of the whole country".

Why this record matters
“Hope and Fury” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Hope, Fury and studio provides the most credible route into that argument.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q139760278. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2026.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
