ADIEU. is a 15-song album released by Logan Lynn on September 23, 2016.
Lynn released “ADIEU.” on September 23, 2016 on CD, digital and double album on red vinyl via his own label, Logan Lynn Music. Produced by Lynn and his longtime collaborator Gino Mari and recorded and mixed at The Country Club studios in Portland, the record has garnered celebrity endorsements from actor and comedian Jay Mohr, Author and Emmy Award winning journalist Sheila Hamilton, Lynn's mentors and former label mates The Dandy Warhols and others.
On January 1, 2016 Lynn and his longtime producer and collaborator Gino Mari released a new single called "The One". Lynn sited his friends and former labelmates The Dandy Warhols for being the inspiration behind the song's modern garage rock sound. Glide Magazine wrote "Logan Lynn has always had a knack for making danceable rock and pop and with 'The One' he shows that he can now confidently rock out with the same gusto” and UK music site The Sound Of Confusion wrote “Stylistically ‘The One’ sees a slight shift in direction for Lynn, whose past releases have been more electronic, whether it’s veering towards the dance floor or creating hook-filled alt-pop. This first track from his forthcoming new album ‘Adieu’ sees him tackling garage inspired indie-rock without losing those catchy melodies and pop sparkle.”
In February 2016 Paste Magazine released the album art for "Adieu" and Vortex Music Magazine released the liner notes, where Lynn writes about his ongoing struggle with depression, surviving suicidal ideation in the face of grief, and his own resilience in the face of persistent mental and behavioral health challenges. In an interview with Coming Up Music Magazine, Lynn addressed the album's subject matter, "This record was really tough to make, which is why it will be four years between albums. I lost my partner, I lost my dog, and I lost myself in the process of losing them both. My own mental health struggles tend to show up in the form of persistent suicidal ideation…so the record is a snapshot of that time in my life. It’s about my mental health crisis, overcoming grief, and figuring out that love is still stronger than anything else, even in the face of extreme loss. It feels like the album I have been trying to make since 1998 when I started putting out records."
In June 2016, two days after the mass killing of LGBT people and their allies at Pulse Orlando, Lynn and Mari released a new charity single from the record titled "Go There When You Want To Be Loved" in support of the families and survivors most impacted by the tragedy. Lynn and Mari donated 100% of the proceeds to recovery efforts with Orlando's gay community. In a feature story and interview with Myspace Music the week of the release, Lynn said “I’m a gay man, so I can’t donate blood, even to save other gay men who are dying because they are losing their own blood, so it felt very much like I needed to do something other than sit on my hands. I wrote the song about feeling like I didn’t have a safe place in the world; This feeling like I’m a man without a country, I’m a man without a place to go.”
