The fan-inspired project is available now
To accompany the release of her sophomore album Let Go Letters, available now via Warner Music Nashville, singer-songwriter Avery Anna unveiled a short film that weaves together the official music videos for five featured tracks: “Cheerios,” “Danny Don’t,” “Depresion,” “Grave,” and “Skinny.”
Directed by Avery, Ben Humphrey, Kate Bowling, and Tyler Shoemaker, the short film presents a powerful narrative by connecting five standalone but thematically connected music videos that bring the album to life. Interspersed between the videos are poignant moments of Avery engaging with letters from her “Let Go Letters” series, which has long been a safe place for her listener community to ‘let go’ of experiences that may be troubling them by writing them down and sending them off. These letters inspired the song and video concepts and explore deeply emotional topics such as body image struggles, depression, suicide, addiction, and domestic violence. The result is a raw and moving portrayal of resilience, connection, and healing through music and storytelling.
“I started asking people for their letters because I wanted to give them some kind of emotional outlet, but they ended up shifting my whole perspective on so many things in life,” says Avery. “After a while, it felt almost impossible not to write about the letters, and over time, this album became a way to thank everyone for being so vulnerable and sharing their lives with me.”
She adds, “This was a whole new world I stepped into for this album, trying to best portray the pains and struggles people have shared with me through their beautiful letters. I hope they feel seen when they watch this film.”
Thanks to her boundless empathy—as well as the subtle force and spellbinding power of her vocal work—Avery inhabits the album with a depth of emotion that makes every lyric feel undeniably lived-in. Featuring 14 tracks all penned or co-penned by Avery and produced by David Fanning, let go letters follows the singer-songwriter’s celebrated 2024 debut album, Breakup Over Breakfast.
A member of the Opry NextStage Class of 2025, Avery is currently climbing the radio charts with Sam Barber on their viral duet, “Indigo.” The pair shared a performance of the track on The Kelly Clarkson Show earlier this year.
With more than 450 million global streams to date, the songstress has quickly become an in-demand touring artist. Earlier this year, Avery brought her electric live show to the main stage at C2C festival across London, Belfast, and Glasgow, and last month, she returned to Stagecoach. This summer, she’ll join Luke Bryan’s Country Song Came On Tour and Brad Paisley’s Truck Still Works World Tour for select dates.
