Sarah Bareilles announces new album Good Grief and shares first single ‘Home’

Sarah Bareilles has announced the release of her seventh studio album Good Grief for August 28.

Today, the singer-songwriter also shared the record’s first single ‘Home’, a track inspired by a conversation between Stephen Colbert and Anderson Cooper about grief and loss on Cooper’s podcast.

“It feels like an invitation and a tone setter for the specificity and depth of this record,” Bareilles explains. “It just feels really essential right now. In order for us as humans to really know and understand each other, we have to listen to each other’s stories.”

Check out ‘Home’ below:

The making of the album is explored in the documentary, Sara Bareilles: Good Grief, set to make its world premiere at the Tribeca Festival this week. It offers a glimpse into the musician’s return to the studio, seven years after her 2019 Grammy-winning album Amidst the Chaos.

“This whole collection of songs felt like transmissions rather than a deliberate attempt to make sense of the world,” says Bareilles. “My deepest hope is that Good Grief provides some kind of comfort or catharsis.”

Good Grief is available for pre-order here.
