Rising singer-songwriter Avery Lynch has always had a gift for crafting tender, piano-driven stories out of life’s most vulnerable moments. With her new nine-track EP, Glad We Met, due for release on September 5, 2025, via RECORDS/Sony Music, she solidifies herself as one of pop’s most heartfelt new voices. Known for being a “happy girl filled with sad songs,” Lynch leans fully into that duality here, delivering a collection of nine tracks that feel both intimate and universal, built on soft, expressive vocals and her signature melancholic piano arrangements.
At its core, her new EP, Glad We Met, is a journey through heartbreak, reflection, and rediscovery—yet it’s also a celebration of love and growth. It’s the first record Lynch has ever co-produced, giving the project a new layer of intimacy and ownership that feels essential to its storytelling. “The Glad We Met EP is my favourite project I’ve ever made,” Lynch expresses, and it’s clear why.
The EP opens with “Rain,” a wistful, atmospheric track that sets the tone with its quiet storm of longing. From there, Lynch leans into her observational songwriting with “the boys who don’t know what they want,” a matter-of-fact anthem for anyone exhausted by the noncommittal gray areas of modern dating. She describes it as a “sister-song” to her earlier track, “you’re just a guy,” and its immensely candid, relatable lyricism makes it one of the EP’s standouts.
“think about it” strikes a different chord—heartbreaking yet delicate, inspired by her sister’s breakup. The track captures the painful limbo of unanswered questions after love ends, and it holds particular weight for Lynch as her first self-produced release. That sense of ownership shows, as the track balances raw fragility with refined production choices.
Lynch digs even deeper with “Dead to Me,” one of the EP’s most vulnerable offerings. With its diary-like confessions and bittersweet piano lines, it feels like a meditation on how people change and relationships fade, even when memories remain vivid. It’s the kind of track that can quietly undo a listener in just a few verses.
Elsewhere, the pair of tracks, “Lasting Effects” and “intruder,” explore the echoes of heartbreak with a maturity that resists melodrama, while “Sweetheart” brings some warmth and sweetness to the record. Co-written with her boyfriend Jordan and friend Neisha Grace, the track reflects on the discovery of healthy love and the joy of being seen fully—making it the EP’s emotional counterbalance to all of its many heavier moments.
The final stretch introduces “strawberry ice cream,” another delicate piece that feels like a fleeting memory preserved in melody, before closing it all out with the title track “I’m Glad We Met.” This finale ties the EP together, tracing the arc from heartbreak to gratitude and acceptance. It’s both a love letter and a statement of arrival, cementing Glad We Met as a deeply personal yet widely resonant project.
With over 130 million streams to her name and a fast-growing fanbase, Lynch has already proven her ability to connect through her storytelling told through song. But Glad We Met feels like her most definitive statement yet—a body of work that shows her not just as a songwriter but as a producer, a storyteller, and an artist fully coming into her own.
As she prepares to take these songs on the road with her West Coast tour this fall, Avery Lynch stands poised on the edge of something much, much bigger. Glad We Met is more than a breakup soundtrack—it’s a portrait of growth, healing, and the quiet courage it takes to love again.
