\n\tSara Bareilles<\/a> has announced the forthcoming release of her new studio album, Good Grief, the Grammy Award-winner\u2019s first LP in seven years.<\/p>\n

\n\tArriving on Aug. 28, Good Grief is the singer\u2019s seventh studio album and her first since her 2019 effort, Amidst the Chaos. \u201cThis whole collection of songs felt like transmissions rather than a deliberate attempt to make sense of the world,\u201d Bareilles said in a statement. \u201cMy deepest hope is that Good Grief provides some kind of comfort or catharsis.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlong with announcing her new album on Wednesday, Bareilles also unveiled its first single, \u201cHome.\u201d Produced by Bareilles herself, the bulk of Good Grief was recorded in six days at Dreamland Recording Studios in Woodstock, NY. Additional sessions for the album were recorded at co-producer Aaron Dessner\u2019s Long Pond Studios in the Hudson Valley, NY, by Dessner and engineer and mixer Bella Blasko.<\/p>\n

\n\tGood Grief includes contributions by longtime collaborators drummer Charley Drayton, guitarist Butterfly Boucher, keyboardist Misty Boyce, bassist Solomon Dorsey, multi-instrumentalist Rob Moose and co-producer, recording engineer and mixer Jonathan Low. Brandi Carlile, Andrea Gibson, Ingrid Michaelson, Joe Tippett, and Megan Falley also contributed to Good Grief.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe making of the album was documented in the film Sara Bareilles: Good Grief, which will premiere at the Tribeca Festival on Thursday (June 4). Per a press release, the film is described as offering \u201can intimate, unfiltered portrait of Bareilles\u2019 return to the recording studio with close friends for the first time in seven years \u2014 a cinematic document of her creative process that becomes a profoundly personal, ultimately hopeful meditation on loss, grief and the power of music to heal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBareilles also announced that she\u2019s hitting the road for a North American tour this fall in support of Good Grief. The trek kicks off on Sept. 9 in Boston and will include stops at theaters in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and other cities. The stateside trek will see Bareilles mixing songs from her new album with favorites from her catalog, giving fans an expansive overview of her decades-long career.<\/p>\n

\n\tTicket pre-sales begin on Monday, June 8, with general on-sale beginning on Wednesday, June 10 at 10 A.M. local time. More information is available via her website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe track list for Good Grief will include Bareilles\u2019 acclaimed 2026 release \u201cSalt Then Sour Then Sweet,\u201d co-written with Carlile and the late poet and activist Andrea Gibson. Short-listed for Best Original Song at the 98th Academy Awards, the song appears in the Peabody Award-winning documentary Come See Me in the Good Light, which Bareilles executive produced and was short-listed for Best Documentary at the 98th Academy Awards.<\/p>\n
