Violet Grohl Announces Debut Album 'Be Sweet to Me,' Drops New Single '595'

Violet Grohl will release her debut album, Be Sweet to Me, on May 29 via Auroura Records/Republic Records. The musician also shared a new single, “595,” along with a music video for the track, directed by Nikki Milan Houston.

Be Sweet To Me was recorded from late 2024 into early 2025 at producer Justin Raisen’s Los Angeles home studio alongside musicians assembled in the spirit of the Wrecking Crew session players in the ’60s and ’70s. The first track that emerged was “Thum,” which Grohl released in September.

Grohl cites alternative music from the late ‘80s and early ‘90s—Pixies, Soundgarden, Cocteau Twins, and The Breeders—as key inspirations. "There’s something so powerful about that period of music, from the messaging to the visuals, it’s authentic and raw," she said. "I’ve listened to that stuff since I was a kid."

In January, Grohl released “What’s Heaven Without You,” a track written after the Altadena fires in Los Angeles and the death of filmmaker David Lynch. “This song was written in David Lynch’s memory alongside two of my favorite collaborators in the world, Persia Numan, and Justin Raisen,” Grohl stated. “A few days after the chaos and devastation of the LA fires, we came together in our sadness and grief and let it pour out into this song.”

Grohl, the eldest daughter of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, has been performing for years. In 2021, she released a cover of X’s “Nausea” with her dad, which they later performed live on Jimmy Kimmel, joined by Krist Novoselic, Dave Lombardo, and Greg Kurstin.

She’s also frequently joined the Foo Fighters on stage, including at the tribute concerts for the late Taylor Hawkins in 2022. In 2023, she duetted with her dad on “Show Me How.”

Be Sweet to Me is available for pre-order in black, blueberry jam, and ivory vinyl, as well as on CD.
