Hers is the sixth studio album by British-Canadian singer-songwriter Matt Maltese. It was released on 16 May 2025, by The Orchard.
Background Consisting of eleven tracks ranging between three and five minutes each with a total runtime of approximately thirty-nine minutes, the album is Maltese's first self-produced album since Krystal in 2019.

Reception
Marcy Donelson of AllMusic noted, "Full of memorably wistful melodies as well as potentially relatable struggles, Hers feels like an instant classic, if one that's also outside of time." Daisy Carter of DIY Mag gave the album four stars and remarked, "And so, for sixth studio LP Hers, his conundrum was not one of execution, but evolution."
The Line of Best Fit assigned it a rating of eight out of ten, referring to the album as Maltese's "most ambitious, artful and affecting record to date," while Clash described it as "a beautiful glimpse of his creative essence," also giving it the same score.
