New Slang

On Episode 126, I'm joined by singer-songwriter Ashley Campbell. This Friday (Oct 09), she's releasing Something Lovely, the gorgeous and dreamy follow-up to her 2018 full-length debut, The Lonely One. Campbell's charming brand of lyricism and storytelling really takes the lead on the 11-track Something Lovely. The intimate ballads "Good to Let Go" and "Forever's Not That Long" find her navigating recent breakups and eventual breakthroughs while the hole in the wall bar vignettes "Something Lovely" and "Walk On By" are witty, clever, and fun. Still, it's "Remembering," the beautiful ode that chronicles her relationship with her late father, country legend Glen Campbell, that's the hearthstone and north star of the album.

During this episode, we talk about finding the right sonic palette for Something Lovely, writing the album, how improv, comedy, and drama have helped her be a better songwriter and storyteller, writing on the banjo, the charming and clever wit within her songs, and what she's been doing during this turbulent year.

This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol and The Blue Light Live.
