The Pretty Reckless Release ‘Dear God’ Title Track Music Video

THE DROP

The Pretty Reckless dropped the title-track video for *Dear God* three days after the full album hit shelves via Fearless Records ^*. Taylor Momsen calls it “desperation set to music,” describing that space between heaven and hell where you’re begging something bigger to pull you out ^*.

WHAT TO KNOW

• Fifth studio album, 14 tracks, landed June 26 ^*

• The band just wrapped a two-year global run opening for AC/DC on the Power Up tour ^*

• *For I Am Death* became their eighth Mainstream Rock Radio number one — they’re the first female-fronted band to hit eight chart-toppers on that format ^*

• The title track builds to a guitar solo over the chorus line “Dear God, can you lift me up, can you take me higher” ^*

THE TAKE

Eight number ones and a two-year stadium apprenticeship with AC/DC means The Pretty Reckless earned the right to swing for desperation and fire imagery without it sounding like posturing ^*. If the guitar solo delivers on that build, this one’s got teeth.
