The long awaited third album -- now self-titled -- from fine, soulful Vermont jam-rockers Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and producer and writing collaborator Mark Batson (Maroon 5, Alicia Keys, Nas) has received a green light for a June 8 release via Hollywood Records. Batson is considered by some a fairly unorthodox choice considering his extensive work in the world of hip-hop and R+B and the oft-maligned 2005 Dave Matthews album Stand Up, but Potter disputes the naysayers. “I liked the idea of writing with someone who was totally not from my own world," she says. "We ended up writing one song after another – it was like we could read each other’s minds. He would build drum tracks, basslines and piano chords, and I would write the words and vocal melodies over the top. It was a natural progression, totally organic and magical."
The followup to the promising '07 album This Is Somewhere utilizes a revamped Nocturnals lineup: bassist Catherine Popper (Norah Jones, Ryan Adams) and guitarist Benny Yurco have joined, giving the crew "a new band buzz", says Potter. Among the new project's thirteen tracks are the politically shaded "Colors", the chuggin' barnburner "Medicine" (originally set to be album's title) and Batson collaborations "Tiny Light" (the upcoming lead single) and "Oasis." Potter and her Nocturals also contributed a version of the Jefferson Airplane nugget "White Rabbit" to Almost Alice, the companion album to Tim Burton's recent Alice In Wonderland film.

由Grace Potter領軍The Nocturnals，是一組絕對能讓你改變對金髮妞觀點的樂團。Grace擁有冶艷外表，卻包覆狂放不羈的搖滾氣息，同時透露黑人靈魂味覺，施展令人稱羨的好歌喉，還能秀出毫不吹噓的創作才能，並精通鍵盤、鋼琴、吉他等多項樂器演繹；美麗與內涵兼備的致命吸引力，再掀Female-Fronted Band新勢力！
來自美國佛蒙特州的Grace Potter & The Nocturnals，在大學時期即投效音樂領域，直到2004年陣容底定後，陸續自資發行『Original Soul』、『Nothing But The Water』兩張專輯，靠著馬不停蹄的現場演出，以及網路販賣宣傳，贏得樂評和粉絲的正面評價，連續兩年獲得波士頓音樂大獎提名肯定。與Hollywood Records簽下唱片合約，並重新發行『Nothing But The Water』。2007年推出『This Is Somewhere』，單曲“Apologies”、“Falling Or Flying”成為最長壽的艾美獎影集「All My Children」、以及「神奇小子Kyle XY」、「籃球的天空One Tree Hill」、「家族風雲Brothers & Sisters」、「急診室的春天ER」、「實習醫生Grey’s Anatomy」等全美高收視率電視劇青睞，曝光於重點橋段裡頭。應邀為2010年突破全球10億票房「魔境夢遊」，灌錄Jefferson Airplane的經典舊作“White Rabbit”。
睽違3年的全新錄音室同名大碟【Grace Potter & The Nocturnals】，特別引薦吉他手Benny Yurco和貝斯手Catherine Popper兩位新團員，直奔告示牌Top20+iTunes榜Top6，寫下出道以來最佳商業銷售紀錄。滾石雜誌大力支持：「宣洩Janis Joplin式的氣焰，喚回個性才女Norah Jones似的靈性，並且滿載Alanis Morissette般猛烈的控訴詩篇。」以“Paris (Ooh La La)”揭開序幕，體驗爆衝吉他狂躁刷弦，交替Grace熱辣滿分的嗓音詮釋；倒灌大量藍調頻率的“Medicine”，大搖大擺的煽動痛快搖滾霸氣；灑下夏日雷鬼情調的“Goodbye Kiss”，同樣攪拌鄉村的音階，交融出意想不到的爽口佳餚；聽似平靜的“Tiny Light”，越到中後段，隨著情緒的強烈變化，漸漸擴散濃郁嗆鼻野性；舒緩小品“Colors”，美到讓人有種想哭的感覺；火力全開的“Only Love”、毫無顧忌的“Hot Summer Night”，都是最耐聽的優選好歌！
