When the world first met Emmy Award-winning multi-platinum artist, singer, songwriter, Rachel Platten, it came in the form of a proclamation of self. An anthem for those who needed it and those who didn’t even know they needed it alike, “Fight Song” became a global sensation, an inescapable battle cry that’s now been streamed more than a billion times and is as inextricable to modern culture as any one song could be.

But “Fight Song” was just one song, one self, and Rachel Platten had so much more to say, and so many more selves to show, including hits “Stand By You,” “Better Place,” “Broken Glass,” “Girls,” “Bad Thoughts” and the single from her new album “Mercy.”

These days, if you dive headfirst into Rachel’s rich and growing catalogue, your odds are as strong to land on a thundering anthem like her biggest hit as they are to hit a soul-searching, lyrically textured stunner about motherhood, guilt, mourning, expectations, rebirth, mental health, and the support systems we all need to guide us through life’s most earth-shaking curveballs.

You’ll find all that and so much more on Rachel Platten’s latest studio album I Am Rachel Platten, a body of work over five years in the making. I Am Rachel Platten is an artistic journey through life’s peaks and valleys. Over the course of two separate marathon sessions in Nashville, Rachel and her producers and session players crafted a body of material as sonically rich, enveloping, and impactful as it is lyrically tender, personal, and intimate

I Am Rachel Platten could only exist in its mastery because “I know myself now,” she says, a fire glowing in her eyes. “I am a mother. I am 42. I am fully in touch with myself. I’ve integrated the dark and the light in me. Now I can hold space for all of what I’m feeling now. It was too much for me before – I was just a kid. But now I have the maturity and the wisdom and my own connection to now invite my listeners in to feel their own connection, whatever that looks like, not what I think it should look like. I call it God. You can call it whatever you want, whatever is you getting back to your identity. I feel why I’m on this earth is reconnecting people to their identity, their truth, to their purpose, to their power.”
