Kentucky-born singer-songwriter Taylor Austin Dye released her debut album ‘Out Of These Hills’ in 2023, to widespread acclaim. Following this, in November 2024 she was invited to perform two songs at the Grand Ole Opry, which included her charting single ‘Rest In Peace’. Her second album, ‘Sick Of Me’ tackles an array of themes including, break-ups, resilience and personal growth. The record is a mix of rootsy country songs with reflective, authentic lyrics, carried by Dye’s powerful, resonating vocals. Highlights of the eleven-track collection include: the restrained, rock-tinged opening title track with its in your face lines: “….I’ll never be the girl you wanted me to be/…I’m sick of me too”; plaintive, resonating ‘Echo’, evoking the lingering hurt of a break-up; ‘Almost Oklahoma’, an expressive description of doubts in a relationship; the strident, angry ‘Hurt My Feelings’; atmospheric ‘Fake Ring’, recounting a failed marriage; the catchy, blues-infused ‘Poison In The Well’ with its fun accompanying video and chastening admonition: “It all starts with a whisper on the devil’s telephone/…Run that rumor mill/You know what to do/When you assume/Before you even know the truth/Every lie you tell/Is like poison in the well”; ‘Little Miss Fortune’ with its apposite wordplay: “Twenty-four carat gold digger/She’s always gonna bring Miss Fortune with her”; and the closer, the thoughtful, acoustic-driven, ‘Nothing Left To Burn’ . With its self-deprecating humour and engaging storytelling, ‘Sick Of Me’ is a confident progression for this charismatic musician.
