The Me That Remains
Amy Grant
The Me That Remains is the twentieth studio album by six-time Grammy Award winner and 2022 Kennedy Center Honoree Amy Grant, released on May 8, 2026 via Thirty Tigers — her first collection of entirely original songs in 13 years, and notably her first release through a secular label without co-distribution from a Christian music imprint. Produced by ten-time CMA Award winner and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer Mac McAnally, the ten-track, 39-minute album was shaped profoundly by a series of health crises Grant navigated in recent years, including open-heart surgery and a 2022 bicycle accident in Nashville that resulted in a traumatic brain injury. Rather than dwelling on those events as spectacle, the album processes them as part of a broader meditation on survival, identity, aging, spiritual faith, and reconciliation. As Variety notes, Grant approached the record by asking herself whether she was "doing people a disservice in my sixties, singing songs from the perspective of a 30-year-old" — a question that pushed her toward the most personally direct and emotionally honest writing of her career.
Guest appearances from Ruby Amanfu, Vince Gill, and Grant's daughters Sarah Cannon and Corrina Gill add warmth and intimacy throughout. The album opens with the folk-rock "The 6th of January (Yasgur's Farm)," which meditates on social division and unrest; "How Do We Get There From Here" wrestles with grief in the aftermath of the Covenant School tragedy; the title track reflects on survival and identity with quiet, startling honesty; and the closing "The Other Side of Goodbye," featuring her daughters, reframes her mother's death as transition rather than loss. Jubileecast awarded it a perfect 5/5, calling it "arguably one of the most emotionally mature and spiritually resonant albums of her career," while American Songwriter describes it as Grant "honoring and releasing her younger self" — a record that arrives not as a comeback bid but as a genuine act of creative reckoning.
