Linda Perry carries many titles: Lead singer of 4 Non Blondes. Superproducer/songwriter for pop smashes (P!nk’s “Get the Party Started” and Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful,” to name two). Viral sensation, thanks to a mashup of her former band’s “What’s Up?” and Nicki Minaj’s “Beez in the Trap.” But she felt something lacking. “I got lost,” she tells Apple Music. “Sometimes when you’re just constantly doing things for other people, we lose ourselves because we’re not fulfilling our full creative and our emotions.” Enter the documentary (with the same name as this album), a chronicle of personal and professional struggles that debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2024 and theatrically in 2026. “That put a big mirror in front of me, and then I decided, you know what, it’s time for me to make some music,” she says. The result? Let It Die Here allows Perry to traverse her talents with resolute panache and a clarity of voice. Tales of strength dominate—the strummy “Is That All You Got” dares to tempt a higher power; an effervescent, jazzy “I Am Daughter” reckons with a sumptuous life; and “Albatross” devotes itself to a hymnal release. Here, she also reclaims “Beautiful,” backed by the passing of time, in an apt message for herself and all: “Don’t you bring me down/Don’t bring me down today.”
