Where Do You Come From? is the ninth studio album by the Australian vocal duo Vika and Linda, announced in February 2026 and released on 5 June 2026.[1]
Upon announcement, Vika said, "This isn't a light or fluffy record, it's real life, mistakes, forgiveness and trying to find some peace." Linda added: "Every record has mattered, but this time, we reached for something deeper."[4] In a conversation with Noise11 in May 2026, the sisters said the more personal songwriting emerged following the release of their 2022 memoir No Bull with Linda saying, "That was the springboard for the album We knew that any book that's interesting is where people are completely honest and truthful about where they are in that point in their lives." The album explores themes of identity, family, motherhood, ancestry, grief and menopause, with the sisters drawing directly from experiences that shaped their lives.[5]
The album will be supported by a 46-date Australian tour from May through to October 2026.[1][4]
Reception
The Australian said "After a string of lockdown-era releases and cover projects, Where Do You Come From? marks a powerful reclamation of their narrative. The album sees the duo reaching into their early history, weaving oral tradition, cultural heritage and decades of lived experience into emotionally resonant, soul-stirring songs."[6]
