SIGRID SHARES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW ALBUM "HOW TO LET GO"

Learning how to let go is at the heart of Sigrid’s highly anticipated second album, How To Let Go, out today on Island Records. Written over a period in intense self-reflection during the pandemic, How To Let Go is a masterpiece in pop alchemy. Taking Sigrid’s renowned powerhouse vocal and immediate pop hooks through a new lens of live instrumentation and experimental production, the follow up to 2019’s Sucker Punch is an exploration into anthemic pop soundscapes, and all written for Sigrid’s defining happy place: the stage. Over the past five years we have witnessed an alternative pop star who has won critical acclaim, countless awards and accolades, toured the globe, and sold more than 100,000 records on her debut, but has always stayed true to her Norwegian roots and made us feel both comfort and escapism in an ever changing, unsure landscape. Already described as “a perfect summer listen” (Who What Wear), How To Let Go features the self-love summer disco tune “Mirror,” the dance-like-no-one-is-watching “Burning Bridges,” the thundering powerhouse “It Gets Dark,” and the recent colossal collaboration with UK rock band Bring Me The Horizon, “Bad Life.” Today, “A Driver Saved My Night” is the latest song to be lifted from How To Let Go, an epic dance-synth tune inspired by the kindness of strangers and that moment when all you need is a taxi home; “you’re never alone when you listen to music,” says Sigrid.

“The concept of 'how to let go' is the thread that runs through the album and through my life – just letting go of things you say, of people that have hurt you, or situations where I have been stupid. Life is about letting go and moving on. It sounds so simple, but it never is.” - Sigrid
