Are We Strong Enough? is the fifth studio album by Tim Akkerman, recorded with The Ivy League and released on September 4, 2026. Its songs explore resilience, connection and vulnerability, with the title track posing the central question of how we find the strength to stand our ground during difficult times.

This special version combines the distinctive Safari Vinyl pressing with a signed edition, making it particularly appealing to fans and collectors. Akkerman himself announced that signed vinyl copies were being made available early to the fanbase. Retail descriptions for EAN 8713606918786 vary on the exact colour name, with one retailer describing the pressing as Bronze Marbled; for this webshop edition, the supplied Safari Vinyl designation is therefore retained.

The vinyl edition contains eleven tracks, including Hold Your Fire, Coming Home, Are We Strong Enough?, Tell Me How You Sleep At Night, Young And Careless and Higher. It also contains a special vinyl-only track: Marble Run. Akkerman stated that this song would not be released elsewhere, while the digital edition contains ten tracks and omits it.

The album was recorded at Okapi Recordings, produced by Evert Zeevalkink and Sander Kalmeijer, mixed by Huub Reijnders and mastered by Jeffrey de Gans. Artwork was created by Robert Muda van Hamel, with photography by Jasja J. Offermans and Youri Claessens.
