Singer-songwriter and musician Grace Potter has just released a brand-new single, "Love Me Not," and announced her new album Trespasser.
Trespasser will drop on August 21 this year, and as the title suggests, these 10 songs (one of which is "Love Me Not") center on 'trespassing,' or crossing lines—but, Potter explained, this form of trespassing is presented not as something negative, but rather as something necessary on one's journey in life.
"Trespassing, to me, is not about 'F—k the man, let's go take on the whatever we belong in, like that's ours, we're going to take it,' but rather that the boundaries that we believe to be the walls we cannot cross or the impermeable membrane of our physical existence need to be blurred in order for us to really understand where we want to be," Potter explained.
"I think it's timely," Potter said of the album's name. "I wasn't going to call it Trespasser originally. It was deeper into the project that I actually chose the title because the mode that we are moving into right now is also a mode in my life, just as I've sort of charted the red tape of my life and been like, you know, if I was a detective trying to put these red strings together."
Regarding the timeliness, Potter elaborated, "I think right now there's just a lot of new fences being put up, and there's a lot of new boundaries that I don't think should necessarily be etched in stone. I'm really uncomfortable with certain modalities that people are taking, and we're really entrenching ourselves in storylines and reinforcing them with the echo chambers around us, instead of that curiosity of jumping the fence and looking at things from the other side."
She continued, "I had a lot of aha moments, and I realized that a huge amount of good things that happened to me is because I crossed a boundary, whether it be in genre, when I wandered into country music with Kenny Chesney, or in my career as a musician at all, which actually all started from the fact that I got arrested for underage drinking and then the music, I had already been recording the music, but when I turned it in as my like, mea culpa, I'll never do it again, they had never gotten anything like that. And the feedback and the positive energy that I felt from that felt like I was getting the handcuffs removed from me."
"But I think that's the reason I've always felt a little bit, not like an invader, but definitely like, yeah, I'm Luke Skywalker in the Cloud City. I'm not necessarily supposed to be where I am, but I'm there, and there's nothing anyone can do about it," Potter said with a smile.
About her excitement over the upcoming album and her new song, Potter shared, "It's really a thrill to get to this point where, this is a long time coming. Not as long as 'Medicine,' which was 17 years in the making, but this was like five or six years of piecing together a lot of my heart and weaving it together in a way that I had never tried before. So, it's exciting to share because it's again extremely different from my usual fare."
Trespasser drops on August 21 this summer, and the album can be pre-saved now. "Love Me Not" is already streaming wherever you get your music. And, for fans who would like to see Potter performing live, she will be touring with Zac Brown Band this summer, for 11 dates on their Love & Fear Tour.
