Info for Active Child

Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter and instrumentalist, Patrick Grossi, widely known as ACTIVE CHILD, announces his new self-titled album, set for release on May 15th on Sony Music Masterworks. Co-produced with Alex Goose (Kali Uchis, Childish Gambino, Vince Staples), the album is ACTIVE CHILD’s most personal and introspective work yet, marked by a candid exploration of adulthood and fatherhood. A reflective portrait of his own journey, Grossi navigates the space between creative devotion and familial responsibility, exploring how love and quiet self-protection shape a life no longer driven by youthful idealism.

On his forthcoming self-titled album, ACTIVE CHILD invites listeners into his most intimate chapter yet. Artistic myth gives way to the emotional weight of adulthood, tracing the fault lines between devotion and responsibility, solitude and love, and revealing how fatherhood has reshaped his life and his creative process. Tender, restrained, and deeply human, the album doesn’t seek resolution but truth, capturing the beauty and tension of learning how to live and make honest art amid contradiction.

ACTIVE CHILD

Patrick James Grossi aka ACTIVE CHILD
With an inimitable pairing of lush, layered arrangements and choral-style vocals, Active Child creates screen-worthy soundscapes informed by a multifarious swath of influences. The brainchild of singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Patrick Grossi, he first introduced his eloquent songcraft with 2011’s debut full-length, You Are All I See, garnering extensive critical acclaim from BBC, Interview, Noisey, NPR, Pitchfork, SPIN, Stereogum, The FADER, Variety, and more. With his sophomore album, Mercy (2015), Active Child amassed upwards of 50 million streams in just a few years. In 2019, Active Child signed to Sony Music Masterworks and released his label debut LP, In Another Life (2020), receiving rave reviews from Billboard, The FADER, Pitchfork, and NPR, including All Songs Considered and a Tiny Desk performance. Touching down for headline tours and festivals across four continents, Active Child has toured alongside James Blake and M83 as well as officially remixing tracks from Lana Del Rey, Marina and the Diamonds, and Angus and Julia Stone. His considerable list of cosigns also extends to top producers like Jim-E Stack (Lorde), who remixed Active Child’s 2020 song “Cruel World,” and pop superstars, including Khalid, for whom he co-wrote and co-produced the song “New Normal”; and Ellie Goulding, who notably covered his song “Hanging On” on her platinum-certified, chart-topping album Halcyon and was later featured on his single "Silhouette." Following a 5-year hiatus, Active Child now gears up for the next chapter in his already illustrious music career with the release of his new single “Coming Up,” out now on Sony Music Masterworks.

This album contains no booklet.
