Taylor Momsen recently opened up about The Pretty Reckless’ upcoming fifth studio album, ‘Dear God.’ She shared her thoughts on why this record represents a significant new chapter for the band in an interview with The Mistress Carrie Podcast.
The Pretty Reckless frontwoman explained how this album reflects her most authentic self and represents a departure from their previous work.
“I am in a different place. I keep saying I love this record so much because it feels like me,” Momsen said. “There’s an honesty and a bluntness to the songs themselves in this record that — I don’t wanna say that we haven’t touched on before, but this is almost directly ripped out of my diary.”
She emphasized the personal nature of the upcoming release and her excitement about sharing it with fans.
“This is me through and through, this record, in a way that we haven’t fully explored before,” she continued. “And it’s grand and it’s simple and it just covers all the bases. It does all the things I want it to do, and it feels so right, I guess is the correct word. I don’t know. It’s still new, and I’m very new to talking about it, so I don’t have what I wanna say about it down yet.”
Momsen also touched on the challenge of discussing unreleased music while expressing her enthusiasm for the project.
“It’s also really hard to speak about music before people have heard it, ’cause I don’t wanna impart anything on people’s minds before they’ve made their own assessment of it,” she said. “But I’m so proud of this record, and it feels so good, and I cannot wait to play it live. It just feels like us. It feels like The Pretty Reckless in the most authentic way, and The Pretty Reckless now. It’s great.”
This upcoming album marks another milestone in The Pretty Reckless’ evolving musical journey. The band continues to develop their sound and artistic identity.
