Michelle Branch - The Trouble With Fever

Grammy Award-winning and multi-Platinum selling singer-songwriter Michelle Branch's has released her fourth solo album, The Trouble With Fever. The passion project, born out of the pandemic lockdown, is a collection of material that shows the evolution of Branch’s sound and a lyrical perspective of an artist whose grounded and relatable sensibilities kept her connected to her fans for over 20 years.

The Trouble with Fever, co-produced with Patrick Carney (The Black Keys), follows Branch’s critically acclaimed 2017 album, Hopeless Romantic. The time at home in isolation gave her the opportunity to stretch herself creatively—not only in writing every track on the record but also by pushing herself to learn instruments she had little to no experience with.

"I didn’t realize I was making a record at first—it was more just for our own sanity, living in a house with a toddler, getting time together to play music and screw around in the studio,” she says. “It felt like new territory. It really was just Patrick and me together, in a very weird time. And it was surprising to make a record that way, without being told to go to work. It was cool that there were no expectations for it at all. We were in such a safe little creative bubble.”
