Atlanta-based singer/songwriter Faye Webster is set to make a triumphant return with her upcoming album, “Underdressed at the Symphony,” scheduled for release on March 1 through Secretly Canadian. The album marks Webster’s first full-length project in three years, following the well-received “I Know I’m Funny Haha” in 2021.
The latest single from the album, “Lego Ring,” features a guest appearance by Lil Yachty, adding a unique flavor to Webster’s musical repertoire. The accompanying Kyle Ng-directed video takes an innovative approach, with the duo engaging in a virtual musical experience within the confines of a Rock Band-style game named “Faye Webster’s Singsongrama.”
The album’s title, as revealed in press materials, holds a personal significance for Webster. It refers to her spontaneous attendance at Atlanta Symphony Orchestra performances, where she found solace amid the more formally dressed concertgoers. Webster describes these symphony outings as a form of therapy, allowing her to escape from challenging times and immerse herself in a different world. The feeling of being “underdressed at the symphony” symbolizes her ability to decide on a whim to attend, feeling disconnected yet finding comfort in that very disconnection.
Webster recorded “Underdressed at the Symphony” with her longtime band at Sonic Ranch Studios in Tornillo, Texas. This choice of location and collaboration reflects her commitment to maintaining a cohesive musical journey with her established team. The upcoming album is anticipated to showcase Webster’s growth as an artist and her exploration of new musical territories.
The artist’s previous album, “I Know I’m Funny Haha,” received acclaim from various quarters, including former U.S. president Barack Obama and Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. The positive reception set the stage for heightened expectations surrounding “Underdressed at the Symphony,” as fans eagerly await the continuation of Webster’s musical evolution.
As Faye Webster prepares to unveil her latest artistic endeavor, the blend of personal narratives, innovative collaborations, and a deep connection to her musical roots promises an album that goes beyond just the auditory experience. “Underdressed at the Symphony” is poised to be a testament to Webster’s ability to transform personal experiences into a captivating musical journey that resonates with audiences on a profound level.
