Believe, the new album from Australian country songstress Aleyce Simmonds, will be available in stores and online this Friday, September 13.
This is the second full-length release from the Golden-Guitar nominated Simmonds, following 2011’s acclaimed debut Pieces of Me.
Produced by Simon Johnson and employing a band of accomplished session players, Believe also features guest vocal performances from sister Karlee Simmonds, as well as Victorian alt-country singer-songwriter Lachlan Bryan.
“I’m extremely proud of this record” says Simmonds, “the songs are very personal to me. They come at the conclusion of a turbulent six year period, and represent a significant growth in my understanding of the craft of songwriting”.
First single and title track Believe debuted at No.5 on the iTunes charts and has already found a home on country music radio across the country. The accompanying video clip, produced and directed by Ross Wood will be released alongside the album.
The album will be officially launched at The Vanguard in Newtown next Tuesday, September 17. Simmonds is currently on the road with Dianna Corcoran as part of the Pure Acoustic Blonde Tour, which covers much of Australia’s East Coast and concludes on October 24th.
