Editor's note

Rachel Platten's direct, hopeful piano pop

The New York singer-songwriter behind 'Fight Song' writes about resilience with a personal touch.

If you want to hear what she does, start with 'Fight Song' and 'Broken Glass.' They frame that mix of piano pop and personal resilience pretty clearly.

Her 2016 single 'Fight Song' became a global hit that felt less like a stadium anthem and more like a shared note for getting through tough days. That straightforward, uplifting approach runs through her catalog, from 'Broken Glass' to 'Even If It Hurts.' She's spoken openly about dealing with anxiety and depression, which gives the hopeful tone in her music some grounding context.

Her third album 'Wildfire' broke through after earlier releases like 2003's 'Trust in Me' had found more modest audiences. She's collaborated with artists including John Legend and Jason Mraz, working primarily as a solo artist who brings in musicians as needed.
