Brittney Spencer My Stupid Life LP

• DESCRIPTION

"Nashville's new star"(CBS This Morning) Brittney Spencer releases her long-awaited debut album, My Stupid Life. The album's 13 tracks are a culmination of her experience during her time trying to "make it" in Music City, discovering herself in the process. The Baltimore native moved to Nashville ten years ago, and this album is Spencer's commitment to be unapologetically herself.

Recorded at Sound Emporium Studios and Blackbird Studio in Nashville, the album is produced by GRAMMY award-winning Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves, Little Big Town, Brett Eldredge), with the exception of two tracks: Lead single "Bigger Than the Song," produced by Marcus "MarcLo" Lomax (Monsters & Strangerz, Maren Morris, Justin Bieber, Kelsea Ballerini), and "New to This Town," produced by Romil Hemnani (BROCKHAMPTON).

"This feels like a long time coming," says Spencer. "It took me three years from the time I released my first EP Compassion to now to release my first album. These songs serve as my introduction to country music and I wanted to give them all the time and care that they (and my fans) deserve. I wrote a lot of songs from the back corners of my mind because I wanted to take a good, deeper look at myself and create something true to who and where I am at this time in my life. The more I put the pen to my feelings and thoughts, the more I realize I've heard similar sentiments throughout my life. Through making this album, I've learned we're not alone in our heads, and I hope this album hugs the tiny, loud parts of our overthinking brains that sometimes need it most."

The project features award-winning collaborators including Grace Potter, Maren Morris, Abbey Cone and Sarah Buxton, plus guitar contributions by Jason Isbell.

Lead single "Bigger Than the Song" showcases Spencer's ability to excel on the fringe of genre periphery with her honest and free-spirited songwriting. Produced by Lomax, the track is Spencer's tribute to artists who curated the soundtrack to her life – Reba McEntire, Aretha Franklin, Alanis Morissette, Janet Jackson, Dolly Parton, Beyonce, Britney Spears, and more. Written by Spencer, Jennifer Anne Wayne (Runaway June) and Tofer Brown (Little Big Town, Elle King, Jason Mraz), the song is a celebration of the simple joys of good music and the impact a great song can have on someone's life.

Spencer's debut album announcement follows her 2022 EP if i ever get there: a day at blackbird studio, which landed her on NPR's "Best of 2022" and Paper Magazine's "Best Country Songs of 2022." Deemed a "one to watch" by PEOPLE Magazine, Spencer has shared stages with Jason Isbell, The Highwomen, Willie Nelson, Reba, Bobby Weir, and Maren Morris to name a few. She's also performed the National Anthem at The 148th Kentucky Derby, the Preakness in 2022 alongside Megan Thee Stallion and Lauryn Hill, and the 2023 NFL Draft. She was the only country artist featured in Rolling Stone's "Music's Future 25."
