Linda Perry Returns With First Solo Album in 25 Years: Let It Die Here

The songwriter-producer reclaims her voice with a polished, genre-hopping set.

Overview

  • Let It Die Here marks Linda Perry’s first solo release in more than 25 years after a run writing hits for stars like Pink, Miley Cyrus, and Ariana Grande.
  • The album includes her own take on Beautiful, the 2002 smash she wrote for Christina Aguilera, reframing its message through her older voice.
  • The Louder review praises the record’s immaculate production and playing, describing it as a supremely classy, highly polished listen.
  • At 17 tracks, the collection draws criticism for feeling overlong and too smooth for some listeners.
  • Perry moves across hazy West Coast pop-rock, classic AOR, country, burnished blues, jazz instrumentals, and a dark Mardi Gras swing on the title track.
