July 10, 2026 – Singer-songwriter and award-winning actor Alicia Witt today releases "Freeze Frame," the second single from her forthcoming album Between Heaven and Earth, out August 28 via Thirty Tigers. Produced by Joe Henry, the album was inspired by filmmaker David Lynch, whose four-decade friendship and creative relationship with Witt shaped its exploration of love, intuition, fate, grief, and the unseen connections that bind people across time.

Led by Witt’s vibrant piano and infectious, feel-good melody, "Freeze Frame" explores alternate timelines of our most meaningful relationships, and what might come to the surface if a few realities were different. With nods to the silver screen and the theater, the song reflects on the ways certain connections can transcend age, time, and definition, drawing philosophical inspiration from the openness and deep sense of connection that David Lynch embodied throughout his life and work. Listen to “Freeze Frame” HERE and watch the official music video HERE. 

"David taught me that connection exists outside of age, expectation, or definition," says Witt. "He had an extraordinary openness that made people feel seen, and that shaped the way I think about relationships of every kind. 'Freeze Frame' grew from reflecting on another dear friend in my life who carries that same spirit. It's about acknowledging those rare connections that make you wonder about different timelines, while finding gratitude for the one you're living." 

Recorded live over four days in New York City with vocals and instrumentation captured simultaneously, Between Heaven and Earth embraces spontaneity and instinct. Produced by Joe Henry with minimal overdubs, the album favors instinct over perfection, resulting in performances that feel immediate, intimate, and alive.

"Freeze Frame" follows the release of the album's first single, "Thank You" featuring John Paul White, and arrives ahead of Witt's U.S. tour beginning September 10. The tour will feature music from Between Heaven and Earth alongside songs from throughout her catalog. More info here: https://www.aliciawittmusic.com/tour

Long celebrated for her work as both an actor and musician, Witt has released multiple acclaimed albums, performed around the world – including at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry – and opened for Ben Folds Five, Rachel Platten, Bob Schneider, Jimmy Webb, and John Fulbright. A classically trained pianist, her music has been described as “sharply personal, boldly melodic pop originals” by the Philadelphia Inquirer, while Broadway World praised her “rangy, honeyed voice, clear as crystal, pretty as a stained-glass window,” calling her “a voice to treasure.” Witt also spent five weeks on Billboard's Top 30 Adult Contemporary chart with the 2021 piano power ballad "Chasing Shadows," from her self-co-produced album The Conduit.

Between Heaven and Earth follows a prolific creative period for Witt. In 2024, she starred opposite Nicolas Cage in the smash hit horror film Longlegs, and released the self-produced Christmas album I Think I’m Spending Christmas With You. Best known to many for her decades-long acting career, Witt has appeared in acclaimed projects including Dune, Twin Peaks, Orange Is the New Black, Nashville, The Walking Dead, Two Weeks Notice, Urban Legend, Mr. Holland’s Opus, Cybill, and The Sopranos. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001860/
