Rachel Platten Details 1st Album in 7 Years: 'So Much More Joyful'

Rachel Platten exclusively opened up to Us Weekly about her new album, ‘I Am Rachel Platten,’ her first in seven years

Musicians take breaks between albums all the time, but Rachel Platten didn’t mean for hers to last nearly a decade.

Violet, now 5, arrived in January 2019. Before the pandemic cut Platten’s tour short in 2020, she was suffering from postpartum depression, which was only compounded by the isolation of coronavirus lockdowns. Platten and her husband, Kevin Lazan, then welcomed their second child, daughter Sophie, in September 2021 — and that point hitting the road again was really off the table.

Platten’s seven-year break was especially jarring given that her previous two albums dropped in consecutive years. After her 2015 single “Fight Song” became a smash hit , Platten’s label was eager for a follow-up to her 2016 album, Wildfire. She could barely take a breath to enjoy her newfound success before she was back in the studio working on 2017’s Waves.
