Polaroid Lovers is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Sarah Jarosz. It was released on January 26, 2024, by Rounder Records. The album was produced by Daniel Tashian.
Jarosz began writing the album after she relocated from New York City to Nashville, Tennessee. Jarosz collaborated with songwriters Daniel Tashian, Ruston Kelly, and Natalie Hemby, with Tashian producing the album. Michael Maejor of BroadwayWorld wrote that this writing process "evolved to include a much richer and more electric sound" in the songs. [1]
The album's lead single, "Jealous Moon", was released on September 7, 2023 simultaneously with the album's announcement. Of the song, Jarosz said in a press release that the song was "about the times when the parts of ourselves that we try to keep hidden rise to the surface, and we have no choice but to ride the wave", further elaborating that the lyrics were "a moment of self-reflection and a promise to keep showing up even when things get tough" as opposed to an end of a relationship. [2]
The second single, "Columbus & 89th", was released on October 10, 2023. [3] An accompanying music video filmed on the Upper West Side of New York City was released to promote the song. [4] Jarosz later performed the song on CBS Saturday Morning on December 16, 2023. [5]
