How to get specific post meta by title or id

get_field is a replacement for get_post_meta you have to use only it:

$my_post_meta = get_field('album_image', 556);

if ( ! empty($my_post_meta) ) {
   // use the image
}

If you don’t know the ID and want retrieve the post meta via post name, you have to use WP_Query or get_posts to ge the post via slug:

$posts = get_posts('post_name=here-the-post-name&post_type=release');
$mypost = ( ! empty($posts) ) ? array_pop($posts) : false;
$my_post_meta = $mypost ? get_field('album_image', $mypost->ID) : '';
if ( ! empty($my_post_meta) ) {
  // use the image
}
