The first track from Role Model’s ‘Chuck Timely & The Hourglass’ album is here

November 2025 was a month that marked the end of an era for Role Model fans – the end of his Kansas Anymore tour run. The occasion was marked by Pillsbury himself on Instagram with a selfie in Paris, captioned "tour is over, my 15 minutes are almost up, i’ve been working hard on little miss RM3, birkin has yet to show face." But while we were melancholic over having no more 'Sally' cameos to look forward to in the near future, we were elated by one particularly juicy new morsel of info "i’ve been working hard on little miss RM3".

Naturally we instantly became internet sleuths on your behalf, tracking down all the info we have on the forthcoming album. And now, that Role Model himself has weighed into the conversation, confirming his third album has a name, and a release date.

Below, find everything we know about RM3.

 

The album is called Chuck Timely & The Hourglass

Finally, it all makes sense. Between the alter ego 'Chuck Timely' and the RM3 hints. Role Model has officially confirmed his third album's title Chuck Timely & The Hourglass. But now that the album has been announced, is it too greedy to say the next question we're wondering is will he be going on tour for it?

The first single has dropped

It's titled High Hopes 3000, and gives us some idea of what to expect from the album more broadly. So far, we've seen a partial departure from the more country tones of Kansas Anymore, towards something a little more old-school-meets-rock-and-roll. We'd love more where that came from.

 

Is Olivia Rodrigo featuring on the album?

We have done some investigating and on Role Model's alter ego's Instagram created for this upcoming album, @ChuckTimely, he has been dropping some hints. We know they are good friends, but on Role Model's Instagram story, he has praised her on her new album you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love. While on his Chuck Timely account he posted a picture of her album on cassette tape stating  "Nice tune, rodriguez got something special". Yes, he did spell her name wrong, but we think all of these fun references are hinting at a possible feature from Olivia Rodrigo on Role Models Chuck Timely & the Hourglass album. It would be perfect timing with both their albums coming out soon, and Role Model is no stranger to having one of his girl friends on his album. Laufey and Lizzy McAlpine have also both previously featured on Role Model's songs.

So, when will Chuck Timely & The Hourglass be released?

The album will be released in full on August 7th.

 

What will the album sound like?

Well, if his latest posts on the 'Chuck Timely' Instagram and TikTok account are anything to go by, the next album will be referencing some nostalgic bands from the past. Dare we say, dust off your cowboy boots because we're feeling like line dancing with the 10 second snippet we got of his third album on Chuck Timely's TikTok account. Hear for yourself, below.

He also posted a black-and-white photo of the Beatles with the caption "Abbey Road, 1964", followed by a carousel of his morning coffee alongside two cassette tapes – one of Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms from 1985, and the other, Daryl Hall & John Oates' Private Eyes from 1981.

He's updated his Finsta name

Fans of Role Model will know the name Saint Laurent Cowboy – the elusive alter ego (enemy?) of Role Model that is, in reality, his very own burner account. Pillsbury has the account across Instagram and TikTok – both garnering thousands of followers – which is what convinced us something was up now that he's changed the username of both accounts to 'Chuck Timely'.

He's also created and sent out business cards to fans that match the new persona, including the phrase "Does love come around or does one come around to it?" and a phone number. Someone's even added a song called Chuck Timely to Genius (the lyric site) overnight.
