Jessica Lea Mayfield is following up 2014’s Make My Head Sing … with the release of Sorry Is Gone, an 11-track album slated for a September 29 release via ATO Records.
“The whole record is about me taking my life back, without really realizing it,” says Mayfield. “I realized I’m the only person that is going to look out for me. I have to be my main person. No one else. This is my inner dialogue, and my chance to get the last word.”
Sorry Is Gone was produced by John Agnello, recorded at Water Music and Electric Lady studios, and boasts musical contributions from artists like Seth Avett on backing vocals and keys, drummer Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth, bassist Emil Amos and guitarist Cameron Deyell, with additional production from Patrick Damphier.
In advance of the September release, Mayfield has shared the video for the album’s title track, which finds the singer-songwriter driving down desert roads and playing musical chairs in a barren field.
Mayfield will hit the road later this fall in support of Sorry Is Gone, with performances scheduled at Nashville’s Basement East, New York City’s Baby’s All Right, and DC’s Songbyrd among others.
