Having shared a stage with the likes of
Willie Nelson
and
Megan Thee Stallion
, along with being featured on
Beyoncé
's eighth studio album
Cowboy Carter
, Nashville's
Brittney Spencer
made her move into the spotlight with her 2024 debut album,
My Stupid Life
. The country singer/songwriter, lifted by her mounting success throughout the early 2020s, uses her 13-track debut to deliver a collection of close-cut, earnest stories -- spurning a night out on the town for a ¿Night In¿ with her day ones, celebrating that ¿First Car Feeling,¿ and reflecting on new love on ¿Desperate,¿ ¿My First Rodeo,¿ and ¿The Last Time.¿ Reinforced by the strong production chops of
Daniel Tashian
(the man behind the boards for
Kacey Musgraves
'
Golden Hour
Star-Crossed
), the album's sound is spacious and guitar-driven, ranging from earthier cuts like ¿Reaching Out¿ to pop fusions like ¿Bigger Than the Song¿ and ¿Night In.¿ Released on
Elektra
,
Spencer
's first full-length arrived in January 2024; it was bolstered that September by a deluxe edition of
My Stupid Life (The Party That I Almost Missed)
, which added seven additional tracks including a reprise of ¿My Stupid Life.¿ ~ David Crone
