"Afraid of Flying" video and single are out! ✨

Friends! Happy Friday to you, and happy release day to “Afraid of Flying,” the song that I wrote during a Nashville Blizzard on the same day that someone texted me from the pre-televised Grammy awards and said, “Congratulations, you just became a Grammy winner.” When I tell you that the path to releasing this song and its corresponding album has been long, I’m not kidding. Today is a big deal for me; thank you for sharing in it!

Rock and Roll Globe has premiered the video and published an interview with me about the story of this song. You might be surprised by it; that’s all I’m going to say. This and other tales will be told in the book of essays I’m publishing with the album. Pre-orders are open!

If this is the first you’re hearing about the album:

Conversations with My Other Voice, is a back-and-forth between a younger version of me and me now. The idea to make the record was inspired by five songs I didn't get to record in my previous solo music chapter; I thought I'd track them and quietly release them as an EP, but when I sat down with them again, I found that I wasn't the woman who wrote them anymore. The stories had changed, and so had my feelings about them. So, I wrote five songs in response and updated the perspectives. It ended up being a set of conversations, hence the title. A memoir-in-songs. “Afraid of Flying” is one of the original songs! The full album will release on September 23rd.

While I’m thrilled and proud to report that Conversations is the first of my solo albums to be entirely written and produced by me, there are some invaluable contributors that need to be acknowledged here. The band on this album is absolutely part of the story, and without their presence in my life, I might not have made this particular project at all. Here are the geniuses who lent their time and talents to the work:

The next single comes out on July 15th! Pre-save “The Melody” and have it show up in your music feed as soon as it’s released!

Thank you so much for being here,
