Sunday Sadness is the third studio album by Australian alternative pop singer-songwriter Amy Shark. It was released on 9 August 2024 through Sony Music Australia. The album was announced on 26 April 2024, alongside the release of the third single "Loving Me Lover".[1] [2]
The album will be supported with the Sadness Tour across Australia and New Zealand in October and November 2024.[3]
Poppy Reid from Rolling Stone Australia gave the album a perfect score, saying, "Amy Shark has always been led by vulnerability, but what places Sunday Sadness in the lead of her long-player canon is that it feels more seductive than its predecessors. From glorious guitar lines to brain-tickling production elements, to her most quotable lyrics yet, Amy sounds more aware than ever of the chokehold she has over pop."
John O'Brien from The Courier-Mail described the album as "i.a grab-bag of musical styles, from the retro electro-rock of 'Can I Shower at Yours' to the breezy guitars of 'Loving Me Lover' and the Lisa Loeb vibe of autobiographical 'I'm Sorry'."
Zoë Radas from Stack Magazine described the album as "a collection of gems that are as easy to binge as a pack of peanut M&Ms" and closes the review saying "Sunday Sadness thumps all the bells it sets up."[4]
Broken8Records said "Sunday Sadness stands out in Shark's discography due to its seductive allure. The combination of brilliant guitar riffs, innovative production, and unforgettable lyrics showcases Shark's confidence and mastery of pop music."[5]
Mike DeWald from Riff Magazine said "As a complete work, Sunday Sadness may be Shark's most cohesive record from front to back, with a balanced mix of the familiar and unfamiliar all fitting under the same umbrella."[6]
