In the year that has passed since releasing her debut album The Girl I Was, Jenna Paulette has made her Grand Ole Opry Debut, performed the National Anthem at the National Finals Rodeo and, most recently, signed a record deal with Leo33. The singer/songwriter from Lewisville, Texas is celebrating her year of milestones with the release of the 20-track The Girl I Was: Red Dirt Deluxe, available tomorrow.
Paulette notes it’s been a journey of self-discovery and redemption, “Red Dirt Deluxe connects my first record to what is coming—an exploration while returning to my roots. These songs hold a very special place in my heart, and I hope they’re as cathartic for listeners as they were for me.”
The Girl I Was: Red Dirt Deluxe was produced by Will Bundy. Alongside the 16 original tracks fans have streamed more than 32 million times, the deluxe will also feature four reimagined renditions of fan-favorites “Anywhere the Wind Blows,” “Slow Drawl,” “Country in the Girl” and “The Girl I Was.”
Paulette’s debut album, The Girl I Was, was released in March 2023. She swiftly earned critical acclaim from People Magazine, Grammy.com, was named an Apple Music Country Riser of the Month and a CMT’s Next Women of Country.
Paulette is currently on the road with Aaron Watson as part of his The Armadillo Dance Hall Tour. For more information on new music and upcoming shows, visit jennapaulette.com or follow @JennaPaulette on all social platforms.
