DESCRIPTION:
Folk / World EP Pressed oN Walnut Coloured Vinyl - Faye Webster announces ‘Car Therapy Sessions’, an EP of new and re-imagined songs by Websterrecorded at Spacebomb Studios with a 24 pieceorchestra. The orchestra was headed by Trey Pollard,who was responsible for both conducting andarranging, and Drew Vandenburg produced and mixedthe EP.
“I have a vivid memory of walking around London in2018 listening to a mix of ‘Jonny’, which I had justwritten. I remember thinking ‘I want to perform thissong with an orchestra’. I truly have had my heart seton it since then, always talking about it and figuring outhow or when to make it happen,” says Webster.
On the EP, Webster reimagines three songs from hercritically acclaimed 2021 release, ‘I Know I’m Funnyhaha’, and 2019’s ‘Atlanta Millionaire’s Club’. Thesongs ‘Kind Of’, ‘Sometimes’ and ‘Cheers’ take on acinematic and glimmering new sheen.
In addition to the title track, she also shares asprawling and emotional work - ‘Suite: Jonny’ - whichcombines fan-favourites ‘Jonny’ and ‘Jonny (Reprise)’.The two songs originally appeared on the ‘AtlantaMillionaire’s Club’ tracklist, two different views on thesame narrative. Here they are presented together. It’s remarkable how beautifully Webster’s work cantake on this orchestral treatment. Like Cole Porter, orJudy Garland, her delicate and emotional deliverypacks a gut punch when dramatized by the EP’srobust arrangements.

Last FM Information on Faye Webster
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Faye Webster is an American folk singer and photographer based in Atlanta, Georgia. Webster was first signed to Awful Records, with whom she released her sophomore self-titled album in 2017. Webster signed to the record label Secretly Canadian in late 2018 and released her second full-length album, Atlanta Millionaires Club, in 2019.
After attending Nashville’s Belmont University for a semester, the Atlanta-native decided to pursue a music career back home. She covered Outkast and transformed “Cheap Thrills” by Father -- Awful Records’ founder and rapper -- into an emotional ode to indie-folk. The singer’s friendship with rapper/producer Ethereal and the Awful crew, as well as her innovative sound, has earned her an official spot on the independent label’s roster.
Webster’s genre-defying music isn’t her only creative crossover — she’s gained recognition in Atlanta’s hip-hop scene for her Kehinde Wiley-esque photography of rappers like Lil Yachty, Migos’ Offset, and D.R.A.M. Inspired by a photography class she took at Belmont — “It’s mainly the only reason I’m glad I went,” she explains — Webster channels her quirky personal style and love of monochromes into her portraiture.
