Aubrie Sellers album NEW CITY
BLUES (Carnival Records/Thirty Tigers) is due for release in January 2016.
Kacey Musgraves and Angaleena Presley examine how
shifting values affect women wandering away from their families' norms. Now,
Aubrie Sellers joins that elite crew with a song that starts out heartwarming
but soon turns into the existential testament of a heartbreaker. Sellers comes
to this squad of independent ladies with a pedigree – she's the daughter of the
tradition-minded country standard-bearer Lee
Ann Womack, and the bluegrass-connected singer and songwriter Jason Sellers.

Her stepdad, Frank
Liddell, is one of Nashville's hottest producers. On this first single from her upcoming debut album,
NEW CITY BLUES, Liddell frames Sellers' tough but vulnerable vocal in an
arrangement with a rock base but a high lonesome undertone. The twist? She
loves the guy whose sweetness she's celebrating...and leaves him.
"Too bad
the keys are swingin' off the steering wheel tonight," she wails,
sounding just sorry enough to know what she's willingly rejecting. Written with
Brent Cobb, who gave Luke Bryan one
of his best ballads ("Tailgate Blues"), "Loveless Rolling Stone"
has a rock edge that puts Sellers in the company of other young genre-defiers
like Jason Isbell. There's no denying the vocal affinity with Womack – like her
mother, Sellers has a gift for yearning, an indelible tinge of sadness in her
sass.
On The Debut Album:
“I always knew
how I wanted my debut album to sound, but I wasn’t sure what was going to happen
when I started writing. It all happened very organically. I’m excited to get it
out early next year.”
On Famous Parents
“I put a lot of pressure on myself because of it. You
don’t really have a chance to go around and be anonymous and work out the kinks.
So, there’s the pressure to be perfect coming out of the gate. So, it’s scary.
You don’t want to be compared to your parents. My music is not like theirs. At
the same time, my parents are great, and I’ve been able to learn a lot about
the business that most people don’t know.”
