“It’s always nice to play at home, but with my new album coming out soon, I’m very excited to share what I’ve been working on. They are all songs I’ve written or co-written with my fiancé,” says Mattie.
The Riverfront Times claims the album “highlights Schell’s chameleonic ability to channel a range of Americana styles into an assured tour through country crooners, funk-soul groovers, jazzy ballads and folk confessionals, all delivered with Schell’s powerful, plaint vocals.”
