Mandy Moore Announces New Album and Tour, Shares New Song “In Real Life”

Mandy Moore has announced her new album In Real Life. Today, she’s shared the album’s title track and announced a North American tour that takes place this spring summer. Find the new song, the album’s trailer, and her tour dates below.

In Real Life was produced by Mike Viola and features contributions from Moore’s husband Taylor Goldsmith (of Dawes), Taylor’s brother Griffin Goldsmith, Lucius’ Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, Lee Pardini, and Sebastian Steinberg. Moore’s last album was 2020’s Silver Landings.

In Real Life continues Moore’s recent re-emergence into the music world, blending “everything from jangly college-rock to cinematic synth-pop to classic singer/songwriter simplicity.” Produced by Mike Viola, the album features a slew of collaborators, including Moore’s husband, Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes. The album’s songs detail very specific experiences in Moore’s life, such as becoming a mother and her relationship to her father.

“So much of this record came from future-tripping on the next chapter of my life and what it might look like: what parenthood would feel like, how it would change everything, and all the excitement and trepidation that comes with that,” Moore said in a statement. “At the same time it was about celebrating and acknowledging where we were at the moment and really trying to be completely present in the everyday — which is maybe the hardest part of the human condition.”
