The Good Parts is the third studio album by American recording artist Andy Grammer, released on December 1, 2017, through BMG Rights Management and S-Curve Records.[2] It includes the single "Fresh Eyes",[3] which peaked at number 59 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Background

In an interview with Billboard, Grammer confirmed that 115 songs had been written for the album, and that "This is the first time I'm going to release an album that all the way down in my deepest self - and as a people pleaser, this is a really crazy to say - I don't care if you like it. To actually believe that when I say that... what a different place to be at as a 33-year-old artist."[4] He discussed the title track with PopCrush; "about sharing your true story with people and really wanting to get to the place where you could honestly share those unfiltered parts."[5][better source needed]

Promotion

On December 10, 2017, Grammer announced a 22-city tour to promote the album in 2018, beginning on March 14 at The Fillmore in San Francisco and finishing on April 15 at Philadelphia's Theatre of Living Arts.[6] On June 25 of that year, Grammer announced a second leg of his tour, starting on September 28 at St. Petersburg's State Theatre and ending on November 14 at Houston's House of Blues.[7]
