Pulitzer Prize-winning artist Rhiannon Giddens returns with Hope Is the Thing with Feathers, a 2026 release on Nonesuch Records that finds her anchoring her wide-ranging musical explorations firmly in her Carolina roots. A celebrated folk singer and multi-instrumentalist, Giddens has long been recognized for her ability to bridge American musical traditions with deep emotional honesty, and this album stands as one of her most personal and focused works to date.
Centered on themes of community and resilience, Hope Is the Thing with Feathers draws from a rich well of folk and roots traditions while casting them in a light that feels urgently contemporary. Every track shimmers with warmth and purpose, weaving together a tapestry of sound that speaks to the persistent search for hope and human connection in difficult times.
