Rachel Platten Announces New Album “I Am Rachel Platten”, Shares New Song “I Know”
American singer-songwriter Rachel Platten has announced her fifth studio album “I Am Rachel Platten” will be released on September 3, 2024 via Violet Records.
It is her first album in seven years since the 2017 album “Waves”.
The album comprises a 13-track, featuring guest appearance from Michael Bolton.
She recorded the album with producers Jason Evigan in Nashville.
Rachel Platten said of the album, “Seven years have passed since my last album, and in that time, I’ve gone through a profound transformation. I’ve become a mother and endured a long and incredibly painful battle with my mental health. I fought for my peace and for my husband and my girls, and as I healed and confronted my demons, I found songwriting to be a refuge, often the only one when all hope felt lost.”- She continued, “This music that emerged tells my story in a way that I’ve never been able to before because these songs weren’t written for anyone else. They were the medicine I needed in the darkest moments of my life. And so this album is already a triumph, because it helped me save my own life. My hope is that they may be a comfort for others in their own dark nights.”
From the album, released a new song “I Know” on July 10, 2024.
The song is the fourth single off of the album, following “Girls”, “Mercy” and “Bad Thoughts”.
The track was written by Jon Levine and Rachel Platten. Produced by Gian Stone, Jason Evigan, Rachel Platten, and Jon Levine. -
Rachel Platten said of the song, “This song is so special to me. I wrote this song when I was pregnant with Violet. I had no idea what was coming but I could fell a change and I could feel kind of almost a foreboding of a lot of emotional turmoil and confronting things that I didn't want to look at and I wrote this song to myself as a little reminder that it was gonna be okay and that even these feelings even this dark that I knew at the time would eventually pass.” - source : Apple Music
