It’s HERE!! Secrets to Strangers is out everywhere today and I couldn’t be happier.

The opportunity to really talk to people - and talk to myself - kept coming up in the writing and recording of this record. Putting it all out on the table, and seeing what might come from looking under the hood - could we be better for each other? For ourselves? I wanted to stir up some rock and roll with a heavy dose of vulnerability and be met with an invitation to pull my secrets right out of the darkness.

Find it everywhere you listen to music, but don’t miss the chance to listen in high fidelity.

🌠 RELEASE EVE SPOTLIGHT 🌠
MARY BRAGG ~ “SECRETS TO STRANGERS”

Revered Nashville-based singer/songwriter/producer @marybragg will release her new album “Secrets to Strangers” on 10/16 through @singlelock via @secretlydistribution!

Her first new album in over 4 years, “Secrets to Strangers” was recorded at the historic @fame_recording_studios in Muscle Shoals & finds Bragg teaming up with Grammy Award-winning artist/producer @johnboymusic & lauded producer, engineer, & keyboardist @benannertanner

Bragg says she approached this record intending to swing for the fences.

“I definitely wanted to aim higher in a no-holds-barred kind of way- creatively just putting all your cards on the table,” she says. “I saw it as entering a sonic playground, seeing how much I could uncover with other creative minds.”

Every great song is essentially a secret told to a stranger. And when the truth is clear, the stranger recognizes themselves in it. Mary Bragg understands this very well.

She describes the title “Secrets to Strangers” as a “zoomed-out representation” of her latest release – a collection of deeply personal stories offered to the outside world.

Whether those conversations happen in therapy, from a stage, or between strangers at an airport bar, they’re all attempts to bridge the distance between people.

“All these spaces are invitations to share a truth for the sake of connecting your own experience to another human being’s,” Bragg says.

Across 12 songs, she does just that – approaching memory, longing & self-acceptance with grace & lyrical finesse.

When asked what she hopes that listeners get from her latest, Bragg returns to the theme of connection & secrets to strangers.

“I hope that people who hear the record will immediately feel called to honor their own voices,” she says, “to hear their own joy & pain, & say, ‘Yeah, that’s me too.’ And especially, to find your tribe. That may be a little cliché- it’s more to find the people who will hold space for you in this life for exactly who you are.”
