Americana Artist Lottie Launches Campaign For Upcoming Album March 16, 2017 17:28

-
It's been two and a half years since Alabama native and our good friend, Lottie, released her six-song debut EP, Leaving the Labyrinth, to the music world. With all of Leaving's dramatic, sweeping strings, haunting ballads, and undeniably heavy subject matter, fans of Lottie's first album might conclude that her sophomore release, still yet to be named, would be something of the very same cloth.
-
But it's in the assumption of sameness where listeners of Lottie's past work would, understandably, be mistaken.
-
Sadly poetic, beautiful, and apropos of rainy days and silver screen drama as Leaving the Labyrinth may have been, Lottie's new work couldn't be more different. That's because her upcoming full length, twelve-song LP is coming from a new, and completely opposite, perspective than Leaving did; it's a view from the other side.
-
"Where my last release was melancholy," Lottie writes to us from her home in Nashville, Tennessee, "this new one is triumphant. Where the last record showed the view from the trenches, this next record shows what happened when I finally made it out.  Where Leaving emanated Alison Krauss, Judy Collins and Joni Mitchell, this new work speaks more to the styles of Margo Price, Susan Tedeschi and Bonnie Raitt, with just a splash of those beautifully sad hues that colored my last release."
-
Anything remotely close to a musical combination of such heavy-hitting names as those three sounds like nothing short of an absolute win in our opinion, and we can't wait to hear the final results, come fall.  Lottie is currently working on raising the funds necessary to record and manufacture this anxiously awaited new record, which she dubs "Soul-Americana" in genre, and plans to start production in early May, with an estimated album release date of late October, 2017.
