RØRY has laid out plans for her sophomore album.
The follow-up to her 2025 debut 'Restoration' is titled 'BLOODLETTING' and will arrive on September 4 via her own SADCØRE Records label.
Produced by longtime collaborators KINGDOMS, with extra production and mixing from Dan Lancaster, known for his work with Bring Me The Horizon and Muse, the album explores grief, anger and death while taking her sound in a heavier direction. At its core is a simple question: do you want to live or die? RØRY said:
"I realised I was sick from being nice. I’d spent so much of my life being the bigger person, forgiving people, understanding people, making excuses for people. I’d become disconnected from huge parts of myself. 'BLOODLETTING' was about reclaiming them."
The album will include the singer-songwriter's recent singles, Kids These Days, Dead Girl Walking and Degradation, along with the newly shared Strange, which pairs her heavier, darker sound with lyrics that celebrate self-acceptance.
The announcement arrives ahead of RØRY's appearances at Download festival at Donington Park, Leicestershire, and Germany's Hurricane and Southside Festivals this month. She will also host an intimate, celebratory event for her recently launched tongue-in-cheek Kids These Days political party at The Dome in London on June 10.
