Everything Has Changed [CD]

Danielle Ponder - Everything Has Changed [CD]

Danielle Ponder is done waiting for a future version of herself to arrive. Now, the Rochester-born, Atlanta-rooted singer-songwriter is unapologetically living in the moment. This realization powers Everything Has Changed, Ponder's anticipated sophomore album (and debut on Dead Oceans in partnership with Phoebe Bridgers).

The LP is Ponder's most self-assured statement to date: it was crafted through a period of immense transformation as the beloved vocalist propelled from being a lawyer to a full-fledged musical powerhouse. That artistic freedom threads the album, as heard on lead single "Power," which serves as both a declaration and an affirmation for the Black diaspora. Other highlights include the revelatory "Sun and Moon," the towering blues ballad "God of You," and the devastatingly vulnerable "Open Windows."

Everything Has Changed dismantles the stories Ponder once told herself and finds peace in what remains. Release date: October 9, 2026.
