Sara Bareilles<\/a> has announced a new album,\u00a0Good Grief, and mapped out a 2026 North American tour.<\/p>\n

Good Grief, out on August 28th,\u00a0serves as Bareilles\u2019 seventh studio album and her first in seven years; her last effort was 2019\u2019s Amidst the Chaos. The new album is a deeply personal one for Bareilles, who channeled reflections on loss and hope into the project\u2019s 14 songs. \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
