It was released on 9 August 2024 through [Sony Music Australia](/source/Sony_Music_Australia). The album was announced on 26 April 2024, alongside the release of the third single "Loving Me Lover".[1][2] The album will be supported with the Sadness Tour across Australia and New Zealand in October and November 2024.[3] At the [2024 ARIA Music Awards](/source/2024_ARIA_Music_Awards), the album was nominated for [Album of the Year](/source/ARIA_Award_for_Album_of_the_Year), [Best Pop Release](/source/ARIA_Award_for_Best_Pop_Release) and for Shark, [Best Solo Artist](/source/ARIA_Award_for_Best_Solo_Artist).[4] The album was shorted listed for Best LP/EP at the 2025 [Rolling Stone Australia Awards](/source/Rolling_Stone_Australia_Awards).[5] ## Critical reception Poppy Reid from *[Rolling Stone Australia](/source/Rolling_Stone_Australia)* gave the album a perfect score, saying, "Amy Shark has always been led by vulnerability, but what places *Sunday Sadness* in the lead of her long-player canon is that it feels more seductive than its predecessors. From glorious guitar lines to brain-tickling production elements, to her most quotable lyrics yet, Amy sounds more aware than ever of the chokehold she has over pop."[6] John O'Brien from *[The Courier-Mail](/source/The_Courier-Mail)* described the album as "i.a grab-bag of musical styles, from the retro electro-rock of 'Can I Shower at Yours' to the breezy guitars of 'Loving Me Lover' and the [Lisa Loeb](/source/Lisa_Loeb) vibe of autobiographical 'I'm Sorry'."[7] Zoë Radas from *Stack Magazine* described the album as "a collection of gems that are as easy to binge as a pack of peanut M&Ms" and closes the review saying "*Sunday Sadness* thumps all the bells it sets up."[8] *Broken8Records* said "*Sunday Sadness* stands out in Shark's discography due to its seductive allure. The combination of brilliant guitar riffs, innovative production, and unforgettable lyrics showcases Shark's confidence and mastery of pop music."[9] Mike DeWald from *Riff Magazine* said "As a complete work, *Sunday Sadness* may be Shark's most cohesive record from front to back, with a balanced mix of the familiar and unfamiliar all fitting under the same umbrella."[10] ## Track listing **Note** - signifies an additional producer ## Personnel - [Amy Shark](/source/Amy_Shark) – vocals (all tracks), guitar (tracks 2–11) - [Leon Zervos](/source/Leon_Zervos) – [mastering](/source/Mastering_(audio)) - [Dann Hume](/source/Dann_Hume) – [mixing](/source/Audio_mixing_(recorded_music)) (all tracks), [programming](/source/Programming_(music)) (tracks 1, 4, 5, 9–11) - [Matt Corby](/source/Matt_Corby) – guitar (track 1) - [Joel Little](/source/Joel_Little) – programming (track 2) - [Jon Hume](/source/Jon_Hume) – programming (tracks 3, 8) - [Kid Harpoon](/source/Kid_Harpoon) – programming (track 6) - [Sam de Jong](/source/Sam_de_Jong) – programming (track 7) - Aaron Rubin – programming (track 10) - [Tom DeLonge](/source/Tom_DeLonge) – vocals (track 10) - Jess Gleeson – photography - Connor Dewhurst – design, [layout](/source/Page_layout) ## Charts ### Weekly charts Weekly chart performance for Sunday Sadness Chart (2024) Peak position Australian Albums (ARIA)[11] 1 New Zealand Albums (RMNZ)[12] 28 ### Year-end charts 2024 year-end chart performance for Sunday Sadness Chart (2024) Position Australian Artist Albums (ARIA)[13] 17 ## Release history Release history and details for Sunday Sadness Region Date Format Label Catalogue Ref.
