Renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist and best-selling author Josh Ritter’s new album, I Believe in You, My Honeydew, is out now. Stream/purchase the album wherever you like to listen.

Throughout his decades-long career, Ritter has established himself as “one of the most perceptive artists making music today” (American Songwriter), releasing twelve albums to date and earning the respect of countless music legends, with artists such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Bob Weir having performed and recorded his songs. With the release of I Believe in You, My Honeydew, Ritter shares ten new tracks that further demonstrate the insightful and engaging artistry that he’s celebrated for.

Already receiving critical attention, The Boston Globe calls I Believe in You, My Honeydew “one of his strongest records to date,” while Americana Highways praises, “one of the most essential voices in American songwriting…The album sparkles with clever turns, rollicking stories, and irresistible hooks—proof that even the weightiest ideas can be entertaining when delivered by a master storyteller” and Glide Magazine declares, “Strange, joyful, patient, curious—these are the qualities that keep Josh Ritter’s songs alive. I Believe in You, My Honeydew is not just another record, but his reminder that creativity, like pleasure, fills all the space we allow it.”

Of the new body of work, Ritter shares, “I'm 48 now. Decades have passed. There have been times I felt my inspiration, my muse, had passed along with them. And then, not too long ago, I decided that instead of waiting for the muse to write me a song, I would write the muse a song instead. I started referring to my muse as my honeydew. And this album was born. The songs on Honeydew are songs for my muse, my invisible and blinding companion of long-standing. I hope it enjoys them. I hope that it experiences a bit of what it’s like to be human, a bit of what it’s like to be lonely, scared, uncertain, joyful, righteous.”
