Release and promotion

[edit | edit source]

On September 26, 2024, a ten-track extended play, You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1), was released as a precursor to You'll Be Alright, Kid.[3] The extended play went on to receive gold certifications from the British Phonographic Industry, Music Canada, and NVPI.[4][5][6]

On February 7, 2025, "Ordinary" was released as the lead single from You'll Be Alright, Kid. It was also included on the digital reissue of You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1).[7][8] The song was certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association, British Phonographic Industry, and Recorded Music New Zealand.[9][4][10] The album's second single, "Bloodline", a collaboration with Jelly Roll, was released on May 22, 2025.[11]

On July 17, 2025, the album was premiered at nearly 4,000 Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurant locations prior to its worldwide release the following day.[12]

You'll Be Alright, Kid generally received mixed reviews from critics. In a three-out-of-five star review for the Rolling Stone, Maura Johnston described the "2010-esque" album as often feeling "mired in the self-seriousness of hoary post-grunge and stomp-and-holler folk-pop", all the while commenting on its lack of musical originality but noting Warren's artistic potential.[14] Hannah Jocelyn of Pitchfork positively noted the affective intimacy of Warren's songs but criticized most of the album's "anonymity" as "a tide of post-Hozier Sad Guy Music". She also observed that despite the album's influences from contemporary worship music, which "gradually builds to a state of ecstasy", Warren's work "doesn't have the patience", consisting of songs that "usually max out within the first minute".[13]

Commercial performance

[edit | edit source]

The extended play, You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1), debuted at No. 62 on the Billboard 200, later peaking at No. 13.[16][17] The EP also went on to hit No. 3 on the Canadian Albums, No. 9 on the UK Albums, and No. 38 on the Italy Albums charts.[18][19][20] The album's lead single "Ordinary" went on to top several charts, including the Billboard Hot 100, Canadian Hot 100, and Global 200.[21][22][23] "Bloodline" hit No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 19 on the Global 200.[21][24]
