Mantras is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Katie Pruitt. It was released on April 5, 2024, through Rounder Records and follows her debut studio album Expectations (2020).
Mantras was recorded at The Shed in Nashville, Tennessee, and features production by Jake Finch and Collin Pastore. It stands as her most personal work to date[1] and describes the "full circle journey from self-sabotage to self-compassion", according to Pruitt.[2] Writing the record forced the singer to stop looking for "external validation" and instead turn her focus inward.[3]
The lead single "Blood Related" was released on November 17, 2023, and showcases Pruitt's signature introspective songwriting about the exploration of complex relationships.[1] The song was followed-up by "White Lies, White Jesus and You" on January 11, 2024, a protest song that deals with the "shedding" of "any remaining shame" caused by the church.[4] On February 22, she shared the song "All My Friends" which was inspired by a Christian Wiman poem and deals with the "evolution of beliefs" as well as the journey of self-discovery.[5] "Worst Case Scenario", a "personal manifesto" of acknowledging one's fears without giving them power, was released as the fourth single on March 14.[6]
All tracks are written by Katie Pruitt, except where noted.
