The country powerhouse previews debut LP My Stupid Life at Zilker
After nearly a decade in Nashville, Brittney Spencer has experienced a whirlwind couple of years. A viral cover of the Highwomen’s “Crowded Table” launched the powerhouse vocalist from backup singer to the spotlight, and her EPand single “Sober & Skinny” introduced rich and vulnerable songwriting to match her stunning voice. She attempts to capture some of that journey on her humbly titled debut LP,“I can’t take myself seriously,” Spencer laughs of the album’s title.
“I can’t believe that people actually want to hear whatever I have to say, and care about what’s floating in my brain.”“I can’t believe that people actually want to hear whatever I have to say, and care about what’s floating in my brain. I’m making music for those people, and I just want to be one of the people that they feel a little safe with, musically. Life is hard, and I feel like music helps to make that easier.
Spencer’s debut showcases her immaculate vocals, but also a broad stylistic sweep that fuses touches of R&B, soul, and pop into her country ballads. Likewise, her songwriting pushes a vibrant, valuable perspective often overlooked in Nashville. “With my first EP, I talked a lot about my views of the world, and with this album, I wanted to do something that I actually really struggle with as a person, which is just expressing myself,” she offers. “I make music for people who feel invisible, because I’m one of those people. I hope whatever I’m doing can connect with somebody and make them feel a little more understood, seen, comforted.
