Sara Evans—who recently launched her independent label Born To Fly Records—has enlisted powerhouse songwriters including Ashley Monroe, Hillary Lindsey, Caitlyn Smith and more for the first album on her new label. The project, titled Words, is set for release July 21.
Fourteen female songwriters contributed to the songs on the upcoming project, including Hillary Scott, Liz Hengber, Sonya Isaacs, and Evans.
“When I’m listening to a song, it’s the lyrics and the stories they tell that matter most to me,” Evans said. “Not only is Words the title to one of the songs on my album but in listening to new music for the record, I was always looking for lyrics that moved me and expressed a powerful range of emotions. Women are natural storytellers and I’m proud to have so many amazing female songwriters represented on this record.”
Words finds Evans reuniting with frequent co-producer Mark Bright (2005’s Real Fine Place, 2014’s Slow Me Down). Tracy Gershon provides A&R direction. Evans’ 14-year-old daughter Olivia also contributes background vocals to the record.
