The five-song set will be available in October
Rising singer/songwriter Mae Estes announces her self-titled EP, Mae Estes, out October 10th via Big Machine Records. Comprised of five tracks, the well-rounded EP provides fans with her signature neotraditional-influenced sound that persists from stirring introspective ballads to booming back porch barnburners. The five-song set includes “Mr. Fix It,” “Mountain Of A Man,” the new track “Drunk On That,” plus two never-before-released songs: “I Better Go” and “What She’s Havin’.”
“The timing of this EP is so exciting for me! I’ve been having the time of my life finding the folks who love the same kinda country music I do,” shares Mae. “Me and the band have been touring the country and really finding our people this year. I’m stoked to give ‘em a few more tunes to go turn up!”
With “Drunk On That,” the narrator finds herself with an overwhelming list of reasons to drink away the hurt following the end of a relationship. Sitting in despair and letting it occupy her mind ultimately leads to flashes of defining moments of the relationship that she’d rather forget – vinyl records, packed bags, a diamond ring – which act as a catalyst to go off the deep end and overindulge. Written by Jay Brunswick, Josh Dunne and Chancie Neal, “Drunk On That” is a vulnerable and affecting addition to Estes’ growing Neotraditional-preserving catalogue. With her beautifully hypnotic vocals backed by pedal steel guitar and fiddle, Estes continues to prove her place as a standout artist and steady torchbearer for traditional Country music. The video for the song is set to premiere on YouTube at 1 pm ET.
