Brandy Clark’s ‘Your Life Is A Record’ Out March 6

Grammy-nominated and CMA Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician Brandy Clark will release her highly anticipated new album, Your Life is a Record, March 6 on Warner Records. In advance of the release, the first single, “Who You Thought I Was,” is out today.

The song sounds like an instant classic, with a slightly vintage, rolling rhythm, evoking classic albums, but with a completely contemporary sensibility. Rolling Stone recently included the upcoming album as one of their “70 Most Anticipated Albums of 2020.”

Of the song, Clark shares, “The seed of the song came from something that John Prine said a couple of years ago at the Americana Awards. He walked out onstage at the Ryman and everyone stood up and clapped for what felt like five minutes. When everyone sat down, he said with a little laugh, ‘Well, I’m John Prine, but I’d like to go back to being who you thought I was.’ Man…that hit me. The songwriter in me instantly knew it was a song and the hHeart in me knew it was how I had felt in my own life many times. I mean who of us hasn’t let somebody down or wanted to be the version of ourselves that someone who loved us thought we were?”

Produced by award winning producer Jay Joyce, the 11-track album was recorded largely as an intimate acoustic four-piece—featuring Clark, Joyce, Giles Reaves and Jedd Hughes—with subsequent Memphis strings and horns layered in with arrangements by Lester Snell. The album features Clark’s most personal songwriting to date along with special guest appearances from Randy Newman and guitarist John Osborne.

Clark will tour throughout 2020 including a series of winter tour dates with Tanya Tucker on the CMT Next Women of Nashville Tour. The run features stops at Philadelphia’s World Café Live, New York’s Town Hall, Memphis’ Graceland Soundstage among many others.
