A couple weeks back, Leah Blevins unleashed the first single from her debut record First Time Feeling, due out in August via Thirty Tigers. Tapping into the vein of Appalachian country recently revived by labels like Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound and New West Records, the album was produced by NWR signees Paul Cauthen and Beau Bedford of The Texas Gentleman, with their southern charm heard across the record’s track list.
Today Blevins is following the LP’s title track with a second single called “Beautiful Disaster,” which was written in the aftermath of a breakup, in a period of learning to accept that new reality. “Going into the recording process it felt like I knew ‘Beautiful Disaster’ was a leading contender,” she shares of the new single. “The lights were low when we tracked the song and the tone was set. It was easy for me to tap back into the emotions of what I initially felt when It was written. Beau and I finished the harmonies in Nashville and it was right before the world shut down. The irony of this life—a ‘beautiful disaster.’”
