Rhode Island-based Indie singer/songwriter Brooke Annibale has announced her new album, Bolder Font, which will release on September 17th, 2026. Her first collection of new music in four years, Bolder Font follows the artist as she “rediscovers her self-worth after a series of disheartening and unexpected setbacks.” Bolder Font also marks the first time that Annibale has taken full creative control of an entire album, including writing, recording, producing, editing, and mixing on her own.

Annibale has also shared “Make You Mine,” her new single that encapsulates the “thrill of chasing something you simply can’t walk away from: the pursuit of love, a creative passion, a road not taken.” It captures that irresistible pull of going after what you want one more time, making the scenic route feel like the only route worth taking.

Annibale sahres:

I wrote this song after writing a few quite lyrically heavy ones, feeling like I just wanted to write something fun. I pulled up a drum loop, set up my mic, and just started playing to see what would come out. The writing of ‘Make You Mine’ fell out in about a day. I love those kinds of songs, because they just feel natural, unforced. Tommy Ng, who played bass on this, really created this danceable element with the driving bass line in the choruses. I hear it in my head even when I’m playing it solo. Sure this could be taken as a simple love song, and it has some of that inspiration in there. But it also is about the pursuit of dreams, and chasing something more.

For this album, Annibale enlisted the help of a mentor, Christian (Leggy) Langdon, who produced her previous album, Better By Now, and that mentorship encouraged her growth. She studied with Langdon on and off for nearly two years.

She says:

Working with Leggy on my last record was such an easy and uncomplicated process where I felt I could fully trust him. Having him as a mentor on this project was a smooth transition, because that trust was already established.

Annibale hand-picked every musician on Bolder Font, from long-time collaborators like violinist Eleonore Denig (a collegemate in Nashville), pianist Mark Ramsey (her longtime accompanist), bassist Tommy Ng (whom she met opening for Chadwick Stokes in 2018), and cellist Cara Fox (a returning presence from previous releases), to new energy from drummers Florian Gouëllo and Dan Burns.
