Linda Perry Releases New Version of “Beautiful” Ahead of First Solo Album in 25 Years

Linda Perry has released “Beautiful,” the first single from her upcoming solo album ‘Let It Die Here,’ arriving May 8 via Kill Rock Stars and 670 Records. Revisiting her iconic anthem, Perry delivers a stripped-back, deeply intimate performance that reframes the song through her own lived experience. The track sets the tone for her first solo album in more than 25 years, a project born during the filming of her personal documentary, also titled ‘Let It Die Here.’

To accompany the release, Perry collaborated with Sara Gilbert on a visually striking short film inspired by a 1940s-era talent show. The video stars their child, Rhodes Perry, alongside actor Lukas Haas and Shane Powers, blending vintage aesthetics with a timeless message of individuality and courage. Perry describes “Beautiful” as a declaration of self-expression and freedom, confronting insecurity and the fear of being different with unwavering resolve.

Following its acclaimed premiere at Tribeca, the feature-length documentary ‘Linda Perry: Let It Die Here,’ directed by Don Hardy, will roll out globally in theaters beginning in May, with a streaming debut to follow. The album spans 17 tracks, including “Balboa Park,” “Anxiety,” “Liberation,” and the newly reimagined “Beautiful,” capturing a vulnerable and fearless chapter in Perry’s artistic journey.
