Tift Merritt has announced that her new album Sugar will arrive June 26th courtesy of the One Riot imprint. The acclaimed singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has also shared the raw and riveting “Finest Feelings” as the lead single from the project, which serves as the follow-up to 2017’s Stitch of the World and features production by Lawrence Rothman (Margo Price, Amanda Shires).
“There’s nothing so fine as the urgency of love—someone who shakes you up and reminds you how much you have inside,” Merritt declares in an official statement. “This song just spilled out, full of hope and fear and possibility and also the longing to be fully known.”
“Sugar is about the surprising sweetness of being unequipped for showing up every day but trying anyway,” she continues. “It relishes pleasure, finds love and loses it, and laughs about how your ideas about your life get shaken out of your hands for the better. It’s a love song to calling it like you see it—it seeks kindness.”
Watch the official video for “Finest Feelings” below and mark June 26th in your calendar for Sugar’s arrival.
