Red Bird Album Explores Love, Loss, and Learning
Grimes called making Red Bird a “cathartic experience.” The sophomore album, arriving April 3, dives deep into universal themes: love, loss, and personal growth. Dave Cobb produced nearly the entire record, alongside Jessie Jo Dillon and Grimes himself. The crew wrote almost the entire album together, ensuring cohesive songwriting throughout.
Recording took place at two legendary studios. Georgia May Studio in Savannah and Nashville’s RCA Studio A provided the professional backdrop for creating this deeply personal project. Grimes contributed his talents beyond vocals, playing acoustic guitar, percussion, and drums throughout the sessions.
Complete Red Bird Tracklist Released
Red Bird features 10 songs that showcase Grimes’ songwriting evolution and range. The album balances introspective ballads with more upbeat tracks like “Drink Drink Drink.” Each song explores different facets of the human experience, from relationships to self-reflection. Three singles have already been shared with fans before the full album drops.
| Track | Title |
| 1 | High Rise Jeans |
| 2 | Come Home |
| 3 | Love You Now |
| 4 | Hummingbird |
| 5 | Drink Drink Drink |
| 6 | Love Me That Way |
| 7 | I’m Not Gonna Leave You |

“Making Redbird was a cathartic experience in many ways. Sometimes the highs and lows of life are too much to express with words, so song becomes necessary. As deeply personal as it is, the themes are simple and universal: love, loss, and learning along the way.”
