The Night's Not Dead is the fourth studio album by British rapper Tinie Tempah, released on 16 October 2026 by Imhotep Records. It is his first album in nine years, following Youth (2017).

Critical reception

Thomas H. Green of The Arts Desk says of the record, "The Night's Not Dead, on a couple of listens, seems lacking in such memorable stand-outs, but is full of feisty bounce and evokes its chosen mood well." Oliver Evans of MusicOMH, on the other hand, labels the album "far less inspired. Despite advocating for UK nightlife, all that Tinie Tempah can show on The Night's Not Dead is how he has lost touch with the dancefloor entirely."

Meanwhile, Jo Forrest of TotalNtertainment says, "Across the album and its wider campaign, Tinie is continuing to connect the underground with the mainstream – using his platform to put a spotlight on the artists, producers and sounds shaping what comes next."
