Good Grief marks Bernard Butler’s first solo album in 25 years, following decades of acclaimed work as a songwriter and producer with artists like Sam Lee, Jessie Buckley, and Duffy. Driven by personal reflection and a desire to reclaim his own voice, Butler returned to writing and performing, crafting deeply emotional songs shaped by themes of escape, return, and resilience. The album, born from solitary sessions in a Holloway rehearsal room, captures a journey through loss, joy, and rediscovery, with lead single “Camber Sands” symbolizing the longing for freedom and the inevitability of return.
