Belladonna of Sadness is the debut studio album by American singer Alexandra Savior, released on April 7, 2017, by Columbia Records.[4] It was written by Savior and English musician Alex Turner in 2014, mainly on acoustic guitar, at his Los Angeles home. It was produced in Hollywood by James Ford and Turner, alongside bass player Zach Dawes. Savior painted the album artwork herself, which depicts an Atropa belladonna with a flower resembling a red button. Its title refers to the 1973 Japanese anime of the same name.

Belladonna of Sadness was released to generally favorable reviews from critics and was named one of the 30 best albums of the year by The Independent.[5] The album was promoted by the singles "Shades", "M.T.M.E.", "Mystery Girl", "Mirage", and "Vanishing Point".
