Australian singer-songwriter Amy Shark has today released her new single All Lies About Me, and has announced that her second album, Cry Forever will be released April 30 2021 – which is available to pre-order now. In an unguarded podcast with Headliner Radio (see below), Shark reveals the meaning behind her new songs, what this year has looked like for her, and teases information about her new album.
“I am so proud of this album and it’s time to hand these songs over to the fans,” says Shark. “To announce a tour of this size, after the year we have been through, gives me hope that the world is heading back to normality. I will give every show every part of me, this is going to be massive and I am counting down the days to perform.”
Cry Forever is the follow up to Amy Shark’s 2018 #1 ARIA Album Of The Year, Love Monster. Written and recorded between the US, UK, New Zealand and Shark’s home studio on the Gold Coast, Shark’s new release features the co-producing talents of Dann Hume (ARIA 2018 and 2019 Producer Of The year), M-Phazes (Ruel, Eminem), Joel Little (Lorde, Taylor Swift), Jamie Hartman (Lewis Capaldi, Rag ‘n’ Bone Man), Dan Wilson (Adele, Leon Bridges) and Sammy Witte (Harry Styles, King Princess).
Cry Forever will also see Shark team up with Grammy award winning artist Keith Urban, following on from her latest collaboration with Blink 182’s Travis Barker on new single, C’Mon.
Cry Forever is set to be an evolution from her debut album Love Monster:
“I am now a more confident musician and person than the Amy of 2018, and I feel like I am ready to share some moments from my life that I wasn’t previously okay to talk about, ” says Shark. “These are some of the most personal and confronting songs I’ve ever written, and I can’t wait to share them with everyone.”
