Jehnny Beth has announced her second solo album ‘You Heartbreaker, You’, set for release on Fiction Records.
The former Savages frontwoman’s new record follows her 2020 solo debut ‘To Love Is to Live’ and arrives alongside lead single ‘Broken Rib’, which comes accompanied by a music video co-directed by Beth and longtime collaborator Johnny Hostile. The visual was filmed in Fiction’s label offices.
Speaking about the new material, Beth says: “I knew I wanted to make an aggressive sound and for the record to start with a scream on the song ‘Broken Rib’. This is how I felt: the world was broken, I was broken, but it’s not a sad thing. How can a song recompose those fragments? Is it like a Frankenstein beast? I’m not trying to polish it or hide it.”
The nine-track album marks Beth’s first solo release since 2021’s ‘Utopian Ashes’, her collaborative album with Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie.
‘You Heartbreaker, You’ features:
01 Broken Rib
02 No Good for People
03 Obsession
04 Out of My Reach
05 I Still Believe
06 Reality
07 Stop Me Now
08 High Resolution Sadness
09 I See Your Pain
