AMY SHARK ANNOUNCES UPCOMING THIRD STUDIO ALBUM
SUNDAY SADNESS
AVAILABLE AUGUST 16TH
FEATURING BRAND NEW SINGLE “LOVING ME LOVER”
OUT NOW
(Los Angeles, CA – April 25, 2023) Already well established as one of Australia’s most respected and premier pop successes, Amy Shark has announced her highly anticipated third studio album, Sunday Sadness, will be released on August 16th via Wonderlick/Sony Music Australia/RCA Records.
Sunday Sadness marks the first album from Shark in three years, following the release of ARIA #1 albums Cry Forever in 2021 and Love Monster in 2018.
Speaking on the upcoming release, Amy shares “I specifically wrote this album on Sundays, constantly daydreaming about the happiest moments and the worst, remembering the best people while still getting over others. I am different on Sundays, I am not sure why, but I bet you are too.”
Shark continues “I think about my life so much on Sundays, my family, my friends and probably you. I’m still learning people, I’m still trying to be a better person, Sunday Sadness has every emotion I feel, you’ll smile in some songs and feel the love – but you’ll also be sad and probably not sleep well this Sunday night”.
Included on the album are previously released singles “Can I Shower At Yours” and “Beautiful Eyes,” alongside today’s release “Loving Me Lover” which is also accompanied by a brand-new music video – watch HERE.
Amy explains “‘Loving Me Lover’ is a dreamy love song, based around happy guilt. I was in LA by myself working on music, there were things happening back home, people missing me being around and I remember feeling guilty enjoying this completely different life. Hence the line fighting forever so stop loving me lover.”
Sunday Sadness is an 11-track masterpiece by Shark, featuring the creative contributions of a dream line of up producers including Kid Harpoon, Joel Little, Dann Hume, Jon Hume, Sam DeJong, Matt Corby and Aaron Rubin.
The release of Sunday Sadness comes off the back of a huge couple of years for Shark, who returned to our screens earlier this year as a judge for the highly anticipated return season of Australian Idol. Amy took home the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent at the most recent 2023 Logie Awards, inducting her into the illustrious club of Australians who have taken home both an ARIA Award and Logie Award.
Sunday Sadness is set to cement Amy into Australian music royalty; featuring heartbreakingly personal lyricism, delicate harmonies and a confronting emotional warmth that proves why Shark deserves the global stage that’s at her feet.
Sunday Sadness will be released on August 16th and is available to pre-order now.
