Jeremy Zucker’s long-awaited new album Garden State is out now via Mercury Records, alongside his latest single “surprise!” — a heartfelt acoustic ballad that captures the singer’s signature blend of emotion and reflection. The New Jersey-born, LA-based multi-Platinum artist delivers his most personal and introspective work to date, tracing his journey from small-town dreams to global acclaim.
“surprise!” is a love letter to Zucker’s younger self — a message of reassurance that everything will fall into place. With soft acoustic tones and honest lyricism, the song embodies gratitude and growth. “’surprise’ is really surreal for me because it’s a letter to my younger self, who’s dream I’m literally living,” Jeremy shares. “That’s why the line ‘cuz strange as it seems, I’m living your dreams, the voice coming out your speakers’ hits so hard for me.”
The 14-track Garden State explores the experiences that shaped Zucker’s path: leaving home, finding love, and navigating adulthood with clarity and vulnerability. Songs like “hometown” reflect on the push and pull of growing up and moving away, while the album’s stripped-down production gives each lyric room to breathe. Garden State is a musical coming-of-age story, rich with nostalgia, warmth, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Fans can now experience Garden State live as Zucker takes his Welcome to the Garden State Tour across North America before heading to Australia later this fall. The tour features stops in major cities, including San Diego, Nashville, New York, Toronto, and Los Angeles, with tickets on sale now.
Following his acclaimed brent iii collaboration with Chelsea Cutler and recent releases like “Cozy” with Lauv and Alexander 23, Jeremy Zucker continues to prove his artistry knows no bounds. Garden State represents not only where he came from but who he has become — and it’s out now everywhere.
