Houston native singer/songwriter/producer reggie has announced his debut album UNDRA, out January 23, 2026 via RCA Records. UNDRA is the self-described "audition tape" and reintroduction to the world of reggie (aka Reginald Helms Jr.), also his middle name affectionately coined by his aunt as a unique spelling of "André" and pronounced "ON-dray" or "AHN-dray". A refreshed take on his artistry, UNDRA narrates the evolution of reggie as an artist and overall creative.
Out today is new single "Sometimes", aka "reggie Sometimes", a relaxed groove that posits a happier facet to reggie’s universe thus far. On the track, reggie leads a choir in a back and forth contemplating the comforts of being alone versus the community felt amongst loved ones.
"Sometimes" follows the release of singles "Headstone", aka "NEW HEADSTONE need MIX" and "congrats!", two haunting, soul-baring earworms released earlier this year in conjunction with the news of reggie’s signing to RCA Records, in which he joins a stable of era-defining young artists that includes Steve Lacy, SZA and Blood Orange.
His official "audition", or reintroduction, UNDRA’s narrative arc unspools over the course of a series of rehearsals and trials, 13 tracks that reconfigure soul, hip-hop, R&B, funk, gospel, and even drum ‘n’ bass, into a sumptuous, slow simmering gumbo. Meanwhile, reggie’s thespian experience combined with his creative partners influenced his artistic and intentional visuals and imagery for the album. Overall, UNDRA may be framed as an audition to find the self, but along the way, reggie produces a work of compassion and soul-searching as a remedy for those in need of spiritual buoyancy.
