Caitlyn Smith - Starfire (2018) [Official Digital Download]

Caitlyn Smith is on the rise with a debut release, Starfire, that is burning bright and capturing attention and accolades. Her Monument Records release, which is due on January 19, 2018, is the culmination of years spent writing for other artists including James Bay, John Legend, and Meghan Trainor, before finding her own voice and expressing what she wanted to say as an artist in her own right. Admired for her ability to whirl pure emotion into unforgettable tracks, Starfire, is a raw, visceral journey about love, hardship, and the struggle to pave your own way all anchored by her unforgettable vocals.

“With a voice that channels the haunting, ethereal tone of Emmylou Harris, it’s hard to believe Caitlyn Smith has spent most of her Nashville days behind-the-scenes,” opined Rolling Stone.

It’s one thing to have the talent to be a star, but it’s another to have the resilience and creative vision to keep your fire flaming bright; and Smith has the musical cred and undeniable talent to accomplish both.

“I wanted to unlock my heart and dig around inside a little,” Smith said about the songs on Starfire. “And I wanted to be more vulnerable, and tell the stories I have lived. It’s more of a raw process to write for myself.”

Triple A radio and music seekers are responding with more than 10 million streams of the title track, produced by Paul Moak, it exemplifies Smith’s perseverance. Other tracks include the Matt Jenkins co-write, “Before You Called Me Baby,” which blends her soulful voice with deeply honest lyrics and instrumentation that only amplifies the organic construction; and “Tacoma,” a song she wrote with Bob DiPiero, which is devastating in both its lyrics and sheer beauty.

Because they come from such an honest place, Smith’s songs occupy a unique space that can both blossom with a full band or be stripped down into intimate, solo experiences. Hailed as one of the ‘top female vocalists’ on Billboard’s SXSW 2017 Music Discovery, Smith has an intuitive knowledge of how music can and should transform in a live setting. And that performance style has landed her on stages at Lollapalooza, Americana, Austin City Limits Music Festival, and the iconic Apollo Theatre.
