Pheobe Bridgers Hints at Return After Six Long Years
On Monday, May 11th, Phoebe Bridgers popped up in Little Rock, Arkansas, and teased new songs and a new LP release on the horizon.
Over the weekend, photos emerged of Bridgers Publisher, Blue Rain Coat Music of her, along with the 1975’s Matty Healy, Bo Burnham, and Jack Antonoff in a studio, along with a link“pblp3studioharrisonwhitford”. The original post is no longer available on their social media.
According to Streogram, on Friday, it was reported that Brigers asked fans not to record the show as she played three untitled and unreleased new songs. Though the set list included songs from both her first album, Strangers In The Alps, and Punisher, along with other independent releases.
Bridger’s last album, Punisher, came out in the summer of 2020. It was followed only by her band, along with Julian Baker and Lucy Dacus, in their band Boygenoius and their self titled EP in 2018 and their only studio album, The Record. In 2021, she released a cover of her now partner and collaborator, Bo Burnham’s “Funny Feeling”.
Bridgers has toured headlining festivals following Punisher’s success and the release of Boygenius EPs. She opened for Taylor Swift on the big legs of the Eras Tour back in 2023, and collaborated with SZA on the song “Ghost in the Machine,” for which the pair won a Grammy for Best Pop/Duo Performance in 2024. That same year, she, Baker, and Dacus were awarded three Grammys for Best Rock Song, Best Rock Performance, and Best New Alternative Album.
Her return and collaboration with Healy and Antonoff, both artists she has collaborated on performances with in the past, will mark a long-awaited return for the singer-songwriter.
