Sheryl Crow is set to release her new album, Pick You Up, on October 9. The project comes together through her work with collaborator Jeff Trott and aims to offer a sense of unity. Crow stated that the record serves as a commentary on the human experience and our desire for connection in a world that often feels chaotic.
The album includes seven tracks, one of which is the newly released single, Freedom Bus. This song features Jesse Welles and acts as a protest track that encourages listeners to consider history when looking toward the future. Crow emphasizes that the song addresses the responsibility we hold in shaping our own society and the importance of civic awareness.
Reflecting on the album's message, Crow noted that she does not view freedom as a minor concept. She believes that because the rights we enjoy today came at a high cost, it is necessary to maintain dialogue even when people disagree. She hopes the songs provide comfort and clarity for those feeling overwhelmed by current events.
Tracks on the upcoming album include Freight Train, Perfect, Pick You Up, Flat Earth, I’ve Got Your Number, Heaven Help Us, and the collaboration with Jesse Welles, Freedom Bus. Fans can expect these new additions to her catalog when the record launches this fall.
