Grammy-nominated and CMA Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician Brandy Clark performed her song, “Who You Thought I Was,” this past Friday on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” Watch or share Above 

The performance continues a breakthrough year for Clark, who, most recently, released two new collaborations with Brandi Carlile this fall—“Like Mine” and “Same Devil.” Both produced by Carlile, the songs were recorded while working from the artists’ respective quarantines and were released to critical acclaim. Of “Same Devil,” Entertainment Weekly declares, “this haunting, acoustic ballad that conjures both dark alleys and spectral hollers as it addresses the sins and salvations that unite us, more than honors the promise of the great Brandi/y summit of 2020,” while Variety praises, “a harmonic convergence of names and voices that features the billing we might have thought possible only in fiction.”

Additionally, Clark wrote “A Beautiful Noise”—a new duet performed by Alicia Keys and Carlile—along with an all-female team of musicians including Keys, Carlile, Ruby Amanfu, Hillary Lindsey, Lori McKenna, Linda Perry and Hailey Whitters, while her new song, “Only Time of Year,” is featured on the soundtrack of Hulu’s new Christmas movie, “Happiest Season.” 

The new releases follow Clark’s critically acclaimed album, Your Life is a Record, which is out now on Warner Records (stream/purchase here). Produced by Jay Joyce, the album consists of eleven new tracks including “Who You Thought I Was” and “Bigger Boat” featuring Randy Newman, of which Music Row declares, “It’s wry, jaunty and sideways philosophical. Newman’s drawl is as personality-packed as usual, and Clark’s laid-back, winking delivery is a sheer delight. It fills my heart with joy that this woman makes music. She’s a genius. That’s all.” Watch/share the official music video here. 

Created after the dissolution of a long-term relationship, the album features Clark’s most personal songwriting to date and 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.

In celebration of the release, Clark will embark on her extensive “Who You Thought I Was Tour”  next year including stops at Nashville’s 3rd andamp; Lindsley, Atlanta’s Smith’s Olde Bar, New York’s Bowery Ballroom, Boston’s Brighton Music Hall, Philadelphia’s Boot andamp; Saddle, Denver’s Globe Hall, Seattle’s Neumos, Los Angeles’ Lodge Room and Austin’s The Parish among many others.

A six-time Grammy nominee and CMA Awards “Song of the Year” recipient, Clark is one of her generation’s most respected and celebrated songwriters and musicians. Her songs include Kacey Musgraves’ “Follow Your Arrow,” Miranda Lambert’s “Mama’s Broken Heart,” The Band Perry’s “Better Dig Two” and Hailey Whitter’s “Ten Year Town,” which was just named #2 on Rolling Stone’s “25 Best Country and Americana Songs of 2019” round up. Her two solo albums—2013’s 12 Stories and 2016’s Big Day in a Small Town—each garnered immense critical acclaim landing on “Best of the Year” lists at New York Magazine, Billboard, NPR Music Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, etc. NPR Music’s Ann Powers calls her, “a storyteller of the highest caliber,” while Rolling Stone’s Will Hermes declares, “a country visionary…the consolation of a beautiful voice delivering a well-built song, cold truth rising from it like fog off dry ice.”
