Career
After moving to New York, Bergman started out as a member of her brother Elliot's band
In 2019, Bergman's father and stepmother were killed in a car accident. Bergman then spent a week in a silent retreat at The Monastery of Christ in the Desert in Chama Valley in New Mexico.[7] The resulting gospel-folk album, Mercy, is a reflection on the tragedy, and on Bergman's own spirituality.[8][9][10] Her debut solo album, it was recorded in Los Angeles at her brother Elliot's home studio.[11] In July 2021, she released two tracks with Beck: a cover of Lion's 1975 soul single "You've Got a Woman" and Beck's remix of "Paint the Rain" from Mercy.[8]
On September 30, 2021, she released the EP Live at Electric Lady on Spotify, part of a series of live performances at Electric Lady Studios. It features seven songs from her album Mercy and a cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Angel".[12] On November 5, 2021, she released the four-song EP Keep Those Teardrops From Falling.[13] On July 29, 2022, she released the single "The Little Bird" as part of For the Birds: The Birdsong Project, Volume III.[14]
