Columbia RecordsA day after giving fans a sneak peek of one of its tracks, “Perfect for You,” on Thursday, Rachel Platten’s new album Waves is ready for pre-order.
The announcement came via the “Fight Song” singer-songwriter’s Twitter account, which showed the album’s cover image: Rachel surfacing from the water of a pool, about to wick the water from her hair with her hands.
“My album #WAVES is available for pre-order…NOW!” she posted Thursday evening. “I can’t sleep bc I’m so excited. I have zero chill.” The album is due October 27.
In a statement, Rachel explained, “I loved making this album, I’ve never felt so free creatively. I wrote all of these songs without getting in the way, and I just let whatever needed to come through me just come. I worked out a lot of heavy stuff on some of the songs and cried on my piano at 3 a.m. some nights, but I also woke up some days and jumped into the ocean and felt amazing and just wanted to write songs I could dance to.”
“This album is raw and it’s emotional, but it’s also fun and sweet and it’s real,” she added. “It’s honestly just all of me and I am so damn proud of it.” Rachel co-wrote all 13 tracks.
Here’s the track listing:
1. “Perfect For You”
2. “Whole Heart”
3. “Collide”
