Anna announces "let go letters"

Every song on the record was inspired by real-life situations that Avery's fans shared with her in a letter series. Avery read these letters and took the general themes—anything from body dysmorphia, depression, alcoholism in the family and self-esteem — and turned them into songs.

The song "danny don't" was released. Written solely by Avery, "danny don't" is the singer's response to a fan-written letter she received at a show from a man struggling with the weight of life and contemplating giving it up entirely. The stripped-down track serves as Avery's letter back to him, where she pleads with soaring vocals that he keep going. The song delves into the typically unsung topic of men's mental health. The singer also released a video of the song.

"I've learned that everyone wants to escape the hard things that are going on in their lives. I see it every time I play a show — people carrying so many burdens," the Arizona-born singer-songwriter said. "It was really hard for me to know that the people at my shows are going through similar things that I'm going through because they are singing the songs with me, and they relate to them. But I have a way to deal with that by singing about my experiences on stage, and they may not have that outlet. So, I encouraged everyone to write these things called Let Go Letters, and many people did it. They trusted me with these letters and the things they're going through, and because of that, my entire life and perspective on people has changed."

"Reading these letters was super heavy," she said. "There were so many topics that I don't know if they could say them out loud, but they could write them down. It inspired me so much that I started writing songs about their experiences myself, and then this album came to life. My biggest hope is that people will hear it and they'll feel understood. I think the highest form of love is to be understood. People are going through a lot, and they think they're going through it alone, but they're not."

"let go letters" features 15 tracks all penned or co-penned by Avery and follows the singer-songwriter's 2024 debut album, "Breakup Over Breakfast." The new project includes her recently released "Wish You Well" and "Mr. Predictable."

The singer is currently climbing the radio charts with Sam Barber on their viral duet, "Indigo."
