Molly Parden didn’t chase music—it happened to her. Raised in Georgia in a big family where singing wasn’t the norm, she emerged as the lone artist, carving a quiet, distinct path from Atlanta to Nashville and now New York. Her songs shimmer with understated depth, her voice a balm for heartbreak, and her live shows balance poignant truths with dry, disarming humor. She’s equal parts heartache and levity, mystery and melody, offering a kind of private wisdom through every aching refrain.

With production by Josh Kaufman and a chorus of supportive womxn behind her, the record is both bold and tender.
