Coverart ‘dear god’
Written with diaristic honesty and unflinching self-reflection, DEAR GOD finds The Pretty Reckless at their most vulnerable, intense, and creatively fearless. Produced by Taylor Momsen, Ben Phillips, and Jonathan Wyman, the album expands upon the band's signature hard rock foundation while pushing into new emotional and sonic territory. Featuring standout tracks including focus track “About You,” "Love Me" and "When I Wake Up," the record explores themes of loss, faith, resilience, love, and redemption through some of the band's most personal songwriting to date.
DEAR GOD arrives on the heels of the success of "When I Wake Up," which recently became The Pretty Reckless' ninth No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. The milestone further cements the band's status as one of the most successful acts in modern rock radio and sets the stage for what is their most raw and uncompromising release to date.
Speaking about the album, frontwoman Taylor Momsen said, “DEAR GOD is the most honest record we've ever made. Every song came from a real place, whether I wanted to admit it or not. There was no hiding behind characters or concepts this time. It's all there…the doubt, the anger, the hope, the questions. We made the record we needed to make, and I'm incredibly proud of it.”
The Pretty Reckless will bring their electrifying live show to fans across the globe with the all-new Dear God Tour, kicking off in Raleigh, NC on July 10
The album follows a remarkable run for the band. Over the past year, Taylor Momsen delivered an acclaimed performance at the 2026 MusiCares Person of the Year Gala honoring Mariah Carey alongside Foo Fighters and appeared at the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, performing with Soundgarden during the band's historic induction. The band also released the holiday EP Taylor Momsen's Pretty Reckless Christmas, featuring a reimagined version of "Where Are You Christmas?" The lead single reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, reigniting more than two decades of global nostalgia and introducing the classic to a new generation of listeners.
