Mickey Guyton To Release Full-Length Album Sept. 24

0 427

Mickey Guyton is set to release her first full-length album, Remember Her Name, on Sept. 24. Guyton, who is signed to Capitol Nashville, co-wrote 15 of the project’s 16 songs.

Remember Her Name is a culmination of the last ten years of my life in Nashville,” Guyton said via a press release. “This album is the closing of a chapter. All those years ago, I set out to create music that would make people feel self-empowered, loved, and comfortable with being themselves and this album holds true to all of that. I hope everyone who listens finds something that connects and speaks to them.”

She previously told CMT of the album’s title track: “’Remember Her Name’ — which is also the album’s title — was written in 2020. When I was thinking about [the story of Black medical worker shot and killed by Louisville police officers in March 2020] Breonna Taylor, and seeing inaction regarding her murder, I thought, ’I need to bring justice to her life.’ I was writing these types of [thoughtful] songs long before America’s racial reckoning. The frustration that I’ve felt as an African-American has been a part of my process for a while. So the song, and album, are dedicated to [Breonna Taylor] and giving her the justice that she deserves.”

Remember Her Name follows Guyton’s 2020 EP Bridges, which included breakthrough songs including “What Are You Gonna Tell Her?” as well as “Black Like Me.” Both of those songs are included on her full-length project. “Black Like Me” earned Guyton a Grammy nomination, while Guyton’s performance on the Grammys last year was the first by a Black female solo country artist. Earlier this year, Guyton co-hosted the 56th Academy of Country Music Awards alongside labelmate Keith Urban.

The upcoming album also includes Guyton’s rendition of Beyonce’s hit “If I Were A Boy,” and Guyton reprises her own 2015 debut single “Better Than You Left Me.”
