Violet Grohl, Dave’s daughter, has announced her debut album
It took a while, but finally Violet Grohl, the very talented daughter of Foo Fighters frontman (and former Nirvana drummer) Dave, has announced the release of her official debut album. The album is titled “Be sweet to me” and will be released on May 29th. For those who want to get an idea of what the album will be like, the first single, “595”, has already been released and you can listen to it below:
The album was recorded between 2024 and 2025 together with producer Justin Raisen, already alongside Kim Gordon, Charli
Violet, 19, said she was influenced by the alternative music of the 80s and 90s:
There’s something so powerful about that period of music: from the message to the imagery, it’s authentic and raw. I’ve been listening to that stuff since I was a kid.
This is the album cover:
And this is the tracklist:
“Thum”
“595”
“Bug In The Cake”
“Last Day I Loved You”
“Big Memory”
“Mobile Stars”
“Often Others”
“Applefish”
“Cool Buzz”
“Pool Of My Dream”
“Plastic Couch”
“Thum” and “Applefish” were released last December, published by Violet Grohl herself on Bandcamp.
Since her debut on stage in 2018, among other things, Violet has participated as a backing vocalist on the album “Medicine at midnight” by Foo Fighters and also on the song “Show me how”, from their latest album “But here we are”, and also collaborated with her father in a cover of “Nausea” by X in 2021. Furthermore, the young singer has followed Dave Grohl’s band on tour as a backing vocalist. In recent years Violet has shown that she also has her own talent and that she knows how to stand on her own two feet. In 2022, Violet paid homage to Jeff Buckley and Amy Winehouse by re-reading some of their pieces live at the tribute concert to the late Foo Fighter drummer, Taylor Hawkins, in London (here our story from Wembley) and in Los Angeles. More recently, the young Grohl frequented the small Sun Rose club in Los Angeles and just over two years ago she joined David Bowie’s pianist Mike Garson during a show at a West Hollywood club to perform covers of the late British musician.
