Mickey Guyton is set to release her debut album, Remember Her Name, on Friday (September 24th). Mickey co-penned 15 of the 16 songs on the album. Remember Her Name follows the release of her critically acclaimed EP Bridges which included “Black Like Me” for which she went on to receive a historic GRAMMY nomination. Her performance on the prestigious GRAMMY show was the first by a Black female country artist and was touted by NPR as “the night’s most affecting live performance.”
Mickey wants her new album to reach people and let them know it’s okay to be yourself and to be transparent. “I want to say to people and my fans that it is okay to be comfortable in yourself, and it’s okay to talk about the hard things and talk about how you got through those hard things. And that’s what this album is about,” says Mickey. “It’s about trial and error. It’s about love. It’s about laughter. It’s about lessons and what makes you unique as a human being on this earth, and that’s what I hope that everyone takes away from this album.”
“Remember Her Name is a culmination of the last ten years of my life in Nashville,” shares Guyton. “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.”
