Violet Grohl announced the release date for her debut studio album on Wednesday (March 11). The 11-track Be Sweet to Me will drop on May 29 through Auroura Records/Republic Records, marking the first full LP from the daughter of Foo Fighters leader Dave Grohl.
The news accompanied the release of Grohl’s third single, the grungy rocker “595,” which was accompanied by a retro film noir-ish video directed by Nikki Milan Houston. The announcement comes a week after Grohl, 19, made her official Billboard chart debut when her debut single, “THUM,” kicked things off at No. 38 on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart.
According to a release, the album was recorded from late 2024 into early 2025 at producer Justin Raisen’s Los Angeles home studio with a group of musicians assembled “in the spirit of the Wrecking Crew session players in the ’60s and ’70s,” whose work can be heard on classic recordings by the likes of Sonny & Cher, the Mamas and the Papas, Frank Sinatra and Harry Nilsson, among many others.
“There’s something so powerful about that period of music, from the messaging to the visuals, it’s authentic and raw,” Grohl said of the alternative music scene of the 1980s and ’90s that inspired the album’s sound, citing acts such as the Pixies, Soundgarden, Cocteau Twins, The Breeders, PJ Harvey, The Muffs, Björk, Alice in Chains, L7 and Juliana Hatfield, as inspirations she’s listened to her whole life.
The release added that the 11 songs were “conjured from the immediate present and tend to be impressionistic, colored by Grohl’s love of film” particularly the work of late auteur David Lynch, who was the inspiration behind the January single “What’s Heaven Without You”; that song, written in the aftermath of last year’s devastating Los Angeles wildfires, will be available along with the B-side “SwallowTail” as an exclusive Record Store Day 7″ single on April 18.
The tracklist for Be Sweet To Me is: “THUM,” “595,” “Bug in the Cake,” “Last Day I Loved You,” “Big Memory,” “Mobile Stars,” “Often Others,” “Applefish,” “Cool Buzz,” “Pool Of My Dream” and “Plastic Couch.”
