Bio
Chelsea Cutler captures the sound of vulnerability and self-discovery, leaning into discomfort
and emerging with a confidence that can only be earned through growth. One song might dry
the tears of heartbreak and disappointment with genuine empathy, while another could just as
easily soundtrack an emotional comeback with a lyrical affirmation. She makes anthemic pop
with singer-songwriter earnestness, infusing big feelings into bold hooks.
The multi-platinum singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer isn’t afraid to speak
her mind or wear her heart on her sleeve. This approach has endeared Chelsea to a devout
audience around the world. In addition to amassing billions of streams across her catalogue,
she has garnered six Gold singles and two Platinum singles. Thus far, she has delivered three
fan-favorite albums: How To Be Human [2020], When I Close My Eyes [2021], and Stellaria
[2023], earning acclaim from Billboard, Variety, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Wall
Street Journal, Associated Press, NPR, Forbes 30 Under 30, and more. In between her albums,
Chelsea and Jeremy Zucker collaborated on the acclaimed brent EP [2019], brent ii EP [2021],
and brent iii album [2024], followed by their first-ever tour together, which was completely sold
out. She has also sold out worldwide headline tours, lent her voice to tracks with Noah Kahan,
Kygo, Quinn XCII, Louis The Child, and others, and performed on The Late Show with Stephen
Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and Today Show.
After the Brent Forever Tour with Jeremy, Chelsea spent much of 2025 at home in New York
City, stepping away from the nightly rhythm of touring and into an expected period of her life that
found her newly single after a serious relationship. She was experiencing a kind of post-breakup
freedom that had rarely appeared in her music before, as she went out, met new people, dated,
and moved through the highs and lows that came with figuring out who she was on her own.
Along the way, she rediscovered inspirations in books, films, and artists, including M83, Bon
Iver, Mk.gee, and Clams Casino, allowing creativity to return on its own terms without pressure
or expectation.
That freedom opened the door to IS THIS THE END?, Chelsea’s fourth studio album, arriving
September 25th via Mercury Records. Deeply influenced by New York City and the experiences
that have shaped her adult life there, the record moves through the chaos, exhilaration,
heartbreak, uncertainty, and self-discovery of her late twenties. Late nights turn into early
mornings, relationships begin and unravel, and moments of euphoria collide with pain and
introspection. Sonically and visually, Chelsea also reconnects with the worlds that first made her
want to become an artist, drawing inspiration from the music she loved in her late teens and
early twenties.
“To me, this record is truly everything all at once,” Chelsea says, describing a New York of
sunsets over the West Side Highway, the Manhattan skyline, rooftop nights, first dates, new
kisses, dancing until four in the morning, heartbreak, grief, and the stillness of the city at
sunrise. At the center are the questions that surface in the middle of all that motion: “Am I
becoming who I am supposed to be? Do I even like myself? Am I making the right decisions? Is
this the life I want? Am I going to be okay? Do you really ever know?”
The album’s recent singles have introduced that emotional and sonic world from different
angles. First single “BAD” captured the thrill and contradiction of a newly single chapter, while
“SORRY I’M OBSESSED WITH YOU” and “WHAT ELSE?” pushed further into the freedom of
creating without guardrails. “THIS TIME OF THE YEAR” turns inward, revisiting the kind of love
that never disappears completely and the sensory details that can make an old relationship feel
suddenly present again. Together, the songs trace a chapter rooted not in having everything
figured out, but in accepting every version of yourself along the way.
“This album is chaos and mess, hurt and healing, motion and stillness, rebellion and
acceptance, ignorance and revelation, shame and pride,” Chelsea shares. “It is everything I’ve
felt and everything I’ve been. I do not like every version of myself that exists on this album, but I
love that about it. I want people to find solidarity in it. I want people to know it’s okay to be
chaotic and messy sometimes. It’s also okay to pivot, change your mind, recalibrate, and
reorient. And lastly, it’s okay to accept and embrace yourself through it all.”
For Chelsea, IS THIS THE END? is the sound of returning to the reason she started making
music in the first place: to process, to experiment, and to be honest about whatever she is
feeling in the moment. “I feel like I’m back,” she affirms. “All of the reasons why I fell in love with
making music in the first place are present again. This is what I want to do. Hopefully, you can
hear how excited I am in the songs.”
