Adrianne Lenker has unveiled “Fool,” the latest single from her forthcoming solo album, Bright Future.
Guided by a muted acoustic guitar line, “Fool” lets Lenker’s wandering verses shine in their purest form. Describing a relationship at a standstill, she arrives at the chorus by requesting “Oh, just say what it is that you want,” and later concludes the track with the decisive “What more can I possibly say? / So if you wanna go I say baby okay, okay.” Throughout, light flourishes of strings pop in and out of Lenker’s homespun arrangement, including moments where you can practically hear Lenker smiling on the mic as she records.
“Fool” also arrives with a similarly homespun music video directed by her brother, Noah Lenker. The video features Lenker fashioned as a winter cowboy warrior with her family and dogs frolicking around her. Watch it below.
The third single off of Bright Future, “Fool” follows last month’s “Sadness As a Gift” and December’s “Ruined.” Produced by Phillip Weinrobe, Bright Future is Adrianne Lenker’s first solo album since 2020’s pair of records, songs and instrumentals, and will be released on March 22nd via 4AD.
Lenker will also be embarking on a 2024 North American tour in support of the album. Get tickets to all her upcoming shows here.
