Dear God is the sixth studio album by American rock band The Pretty Reckless, released June 26, 2026 on Fearless Records. Running a little over fifty minutes across fourteen tracks, it brings together the band’s established blend of heavy, riff-driven rock and introspective songwriting, but with a pronounced spiritual and existential focus. The record opens with the brief Life Evermore Pt. 2, immediately setting a cinematic, dreamlike atmosphere before moving into full songs that wrestle with belief, temptation, shame, survival, and the search for meaning, all anchored by Taylor Momsen’s full-throated vocals and the band’s muscular, guitar-led sound.Across its length, Dear God uses recurring Life Evermore interludes (appearing as Parts 2, 3, and finally 1 at the close) as structural and thematic signposts, turning the album into a looping meditation on cycles of faith, doubt, and rebirth rather than a straightforward linear narrative. Songs like the title track Dear God—slow, heavy, and contemplative—sit at the emotional center, folding overt religious imagery and direct address to God into questions about whether anyone or anything can “lift us up” and keep us from self-destruction. Elsewhere, more up‑tempo, melodically heavy tracks bring in punk attitude, classic-rock riffing, and even touches of folk or psychedelic color, but all remain tied to core themes of mortality, resilience, and the fragile line between surrender and resistance. In this configuration, Dear God feels less like an attempt to chase trends and more like a cohesive, late‑career statement: a nocturnal, emotionally demanding rock album that asks listeners to sit with discomfort and uncertainty while still holding onto the possibility of hope.
