Rissi Palmer Shares Cover, Track Listing For New Album ‘Revival’

Rissi Palmer is revealing the cover and track listing for her upcoming new album, REVIVAL set for release Oct. 22. Beginning today (Oct. 1), fans who pre-order REVIVAL exclusively from her website will automatically receive free downloads of Palmer’s latest feature track “Soul Message” and the album’s previously released lead single “Seeds.”

“This album is one of the most personal I’ve ever written and recorded,” says Palmer. “Everything I write is personal, but I feel like I’m in a place of being really honest and transparent with people because that’s what I like in an artist. That’s what I look for; those are the people I’m interested in, and I want to do that same thing for others.”

Recorded in Durham, NC, where Palmer currently resides, REVIVAL marks the first full-length album she has created outside of Nashville. It features eight original songs co-written by Palmer with soulful melodies and themes ranging from deeply personal to political and everything in between. Brian Owens served as producer on most of the album, with the exception of “Seeds” and “You Were Here,” which were produced by Grammy Award-winning Shannon Sanders and Palmer, respectively. 

The project includes the powerful and deeply personal “You Were Here,” which Palmer penned after her miscarriage and deems one of the most challenging songs she’s ever written. The rest of the project reflects Palmer’s engagement with a world clearly in need of inspiration and uplifting, with songs like “Breathe In,” “Speak On It,” “Revival” and “Little Black Boy, Little Black Girl,” a song of hope and compassion she co-wrote with Owens.
