FRIDAY, JULY 17 (LOS ANGELES, CA) - Today, four-time GRAMMY nominee Grace Potter released "Belong," the third singlefrom her upcoming studio album, Trespasser, due out August 21 via Thirty Tigers. Across 10 tracks, Trespasserintroduces a beautifully unruly cast of characters who step into forbidden spaces with absolute abandon.

Earlier this week, Potter performed the album's first single,"Love Me Not," on Live with Kelly & Mark - watch the electric performance HERE . She also recently performed a few songs and discussed the album and its inspirations on WNYC's All of It with Alison Stewart - listen HERE .

On the album-closing "Belong," Trespasser embodies a soul-baring intimacy, offering up an existential road song that trades in quiet revelation rather than resolution. With its softly glowing Wurlitzer melodies, wistful pedal-steel tones, and resplendent gospel harmonies, the aching but determined track unfolds as a meditation on forward motion. Listen to "Belong" HERE .

Trespasser is available for pre-order on vinyl in several exclusive variants, including Cell Block Black (standard black vinyl), Hot Pursuit Orange (Grace Potter webstore exclusive), Stock Tank Blue (indie retail exclusive), and Double Detour Red (Talk Shop Live exclusive). Pre-order the album HERE .

"'Belong' is a song that's been with me for a long time," Potter shares. "When I first wrote it, I imagined I'd eventually reach a place of belonging, but in actuality I'm still on the journey. At a certain point, it felt more authentic to share the middle of the road trip instead of waiting to arrive-because if I waited, no one would ever hear it."

As the spiritual sequel to 2023's critically acclaimed Mother Road, Potter continues the kaleidoscopic storyline shaped by her many road trips from her Topanga Canyon home to her part-time residence in her native Vermont (a journey she's made eight times in the last five years, usually on her own). But while Mother Roadwas born from a desperate need for solace in the midst of emotional freefall, Trespasser reveals an artist firmly anchored in her singular vision. The latest chapter in a career marked by endless transformation and elite recognition, Trespasser ultimately lights the way toward a more unbound and expansive means of moving through the world.

Although each song onTrespasser opens a window onto her inner landscape, Potter conceptualized the album as a dimension-hopping road saga, weaving together what she refers to as "these fables and storylines that have been whooshing around my soul for a very long time." Part myth, part fever dream, the LP's rotating cast of drifters circles around Topeka: a wild-hearted nomad who drives off a bridge in the breathless and scorching"Ride Or Die," only to be resurrected within the spectral reverie of "Gasoline." With its ensemble of misfits also including the lascivious ghost of a café delivery boy and the jealousy-crazed diner owner who killed him, Trespasser turns epic on"War On The Mountain"-a mythic psychodrama in which wholeness comes from making peace with all the selves you were told to exile.

Produced by her husband and frequent collaborator Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age, Weezer, Slash) and recorded in a cross-country journey beginning at her home in Topanga with Benmont Tench (Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers), continuing in Nashville with Mother Road session playersNick Bockrath (Cage the Elephant), Tim Deaux (Kings of Leon), and Matt Musty (Train), and completed in Vermont with members of her longtime live band (guitarists Indya Bratton and Ricky Dover Jr, bassist Kurtis Keber, drummer Jordan West), the album echoes its origins with a wayward sound that spans from stripped-bare soul to cosmic country to hellraising rock & roll-all while orbiting Potter's force-of-nature voice and lavishly imagined storytelling.

This weekend, Potter is set to join Chris Stapleton for three shows on his All American Road Show Tour, marking the third consecutive year she's been on the road with the country superstar. Potter will also join Zac Brown Band for 11 shows on their Love and Fear Tour this fall. She'll kick off her stretch of the tour with two nights at Forest Hills Stadium in New York City, and will also offer support at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC, Allstate Arena in Rosemont, IL, two nights at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, and more.
