F.I.G.

F.I.G. is the debut studio album by British singer-songwriter and actress Naomi Scott, released March 20, 2026 via Alter Music. The title is a triple-layered acronym: it stands for Fall Into Grace, references Scott’s own middle name (Grace), and echoes Sylvia Plath’s famous fig tree passage from The Bell Jar -- in which the protagonist imagines each fig on a tree as a different possible life she might live.

The album’s 11 tracks each function as a separate "fig" -- a different version of the self, a different path not taken. Themes of fractured identity, romantic desire, heartbreak, and self-permission run throughout. Scott has described the project as a reckoning with all the versions of herself she had to mourn in order to become who she is.

Produced primarily by Lido, with contributions from Dev Hynes (Blood Orange), Daphne Gale, and Goldwash, the album draws on an palette of 1980s soul and pop, with DNA from artists like Prince, Sade, Janet Jackson, and Kate Bush. Critics praised its emotional intelligence and its production strategy of restraint over escalation. The AU Review awarded it 4/5 stars, calling it "one of the most assured pop-soul records in recent memory."
