Robert Plant plans Saving Grace album

Robert Plant says Saving Grace are already working toward a second album after issuing a four-song Record Store Day vinyl EP on April 18. (ledzepnews.com) (recordstoreday.com) Plant told BBC Radio 6 Music host Huw Stephens that the band were “already planning and starting the work” on the next record in an interview broadcast April 14. (ledzepnews.com) That next-album talk came after Plant told Record Collector that the four songs on the new EP were originally part of “the next record.” (ledzepnews.com) The EP is titled *Saving Grace: All That Glitters… with Suzi Dian* and was issued as a Record Store Day exclusive on 12-inch vinyl through Nonesuch. Record Store Day listed the run at 3,500 copies. (nonesuch.com) (recordstoreday.com) Record Store Day’s listing says the release contains four new studio recordings: “Blackest Crow,” “Poison,” “Orphan Girl,” and “She Cried.” Nonesuch’s February announcement also described the tracks as newly recorded for the event. (recordstoreday.com) (nonesuch.com) Saving Grace is Plant’s band with singer Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown. Nonesuch said the group’s first album was recorded over six years in the Cotswolds and on the Welsh Borders. (nonesuch.com) (shorefire.com) That debut album, *Saving Grace*, arrived on September 26, 2025, as Plant’s first full album with the band. Shore Fire said the project began during lockdown, when Plant started working closely with the musicians in the English countryside. (shorefire.com) Plant and the band also spent March and early April on a U.S. run that Nonesuch said followed a sold-out U.S. tour before Thanksgiving 2025. The spring itinerary ran from March 14 to April 7. (nonesuch.com) So the new EP looks less like a one-off vinyl collectible than a preview of what Plant says is the next Saving Grace record now taking shape. (ledzepnews.com 1) (ledzepnews.com 2)
