(Sacks & Co) Breakout pop star Audrey Hobert stopped by NPR Tiny Desk today in celebration of the one-year anniversary of her debut album Who's the Clown?-watch here.
Hobert performed five of her biggest tracks from the record, which will turn one this Saturday, August 15. The album was released last summer to immediate widespread acclaim and continues to win new fans worldwide.
The Tiny Desk performance arrives amidst a landmark summer for Hobert. Her overall catalog streams have nearly quadrupled since May, led by hit single "Sue me," which Billboard has declared the "definitive summer '26 anthem." The track has grown sixfold since May and has claimed the #90 spot on the Hot 100, marking Hobert's first appearance on the chart.
Hobert recently confirmed her biggest headline shows to date for this fall, making her triumphant return to play three nights at New York's Brooklyn Paramount-which sold out instantly-Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, two nights at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago and Oakland's Fox Theater. The dates follow her completely sold-out Staircase to Stardom world tour and a run of festival stops including Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Hinterland and Outside Lands, with Austin City Limits still to come.
A lifelong singer, musical theatre devotee, dancer and writer, Audrey Hobert has long been developing her creative voice across disciplines. A true one-woman show, she fully realizes all aspects of her music from start to finish-writing songs, singing, directing and editing music videos. Brought to life with the help of production partner Ricky Gourmet, Who's the Clown?-the first collection of songs Audrey ever wrote for herself-represents her exploration of her own creative vision. More from Hobert is imminent.
