Bittersweet is the tenth studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Kasey Chambers. It was released in August 2014 and debuted at No. 2 in Australia, making it her sixth top 5 album in Australia.[1]

It was the first album of Chambers' not to be produced by her brother Nash Chambers. The album was produced instead by Nick DiDia. Kasey says for this record she needed something different: “I wanted to have an experience making a record that I had never had before. I wanted to challenge myself and I wanted to be excited.” DiDia had previously produced albums for Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine, Bruce Springsteen, The Wallflowers, The Living End, and Powderfinger.[2]

It is also Chambers' first album since she split from husband Shane Nicholson.

The album won Best Country album at the ARIA Music Awards of 2014 Chambers also received a nomination for Best female artist but lost out to Sia.[3]

Chambers also toured throughout 2014/2015 to support the album.[4]

The album was released in the United States on July 24, 2015 through Sugar Hill Records. She toured the US throughout July and August to support the release.[5]
