GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter Kim Richey has announced her new album, Every New Beginning, is now available for pre-order. Released via Yep Roc Records the album is due May 24. Every New Beginning is Richey’s first album of new music in six years (her tenth overall) and includes 10 tracks, written, or co-written by Richey over the course of several years. The album was produced by revered multi-instrumentalist and producer Doug Lancio (Patty Griffin, John Hiatt). Every New Beginning extends Richey’s sterling reputation for churning out quality albums in a now three decade long career.

Lead single “Floating on the Surface” is now available on all streaming platforms. Of the song Richey said the following: “This song is different from all the other songs on the album in that we decided to use the demo. Roger Nichols and I wrote this around a cool guitar line that Roger came up with. He engineered and played everything. I sang all the parts and played percussion (my secret favorite thing.) We tried re-recording it with the band while tracking songs for this record. We tried replacing the fake drums with real drums. We messed around with the vocals. Finally, producer Doug Lancio decided we weren’t going to beat the demo. Sometimes a demo has some sort of magic sauce that you just can’t recreate.”

Richey, who didn’t get her start in the music industry until her late 30s has had songs recorded by the likes of Trisha Yearwood, Radney Foster and Brooks + Dunn.
