Be Sweet To Me is the 11-track debut album from 19-year-old Violet Grohl, featuring the single “THUM.” Recorded in Los Angeles with producer Justin Raisen, the album blends grunge, shoegaze, punk, folk, and experimental influences into a raw, emotional coming-of-age record.
Written entirely in the studio between late 2024 and early 2025, the songs draw from Grohl’s personal experiences, love of film, and wide-ranging musical inspirations, from Pixies and PJ Harvey to Björk and Alice in Chains. Tracks like “THUM,” “595,” and “Cool Buzz” channel themes of identity, grief, femininity, and emotional release through distorted guitars, dreamy textures, and sharp lyricism.
The album’s title comes from an inside joke between Grohl and her friends, reflecting the balance of vulnerability and toughness that defines the project.
