(2019) Faye Webster - Atlanta Millionaires Club





Review:

Faye Webster, the 21-year-old Atlanta-based singer-songwriter and decorated photographer, release her third full-length album, Atlanta Millionaires Club, via Secretly Canadian. …An alt-folk artist with ties to Atlanta’s hip-hop scene, Webster’s songwriting “foregoes genre,” as a press release puts it. Her new record, co-produced by herself and Drew Vandenberg at ATL’s Chase Park Transduction, cites Aaliyah as a main musical influence. “That’s where I first heard, ‘Oh, there’s this weird guitar that’s bendy and it could totally be in a country song,’ but the way she’s using it is what makes her music so special to me,” Webster says of the late R&B star. “I try to do that. I try to change the way pedal steel is supposed sound, to use it differently than its traditional sound.” Atlanta Millionaires Club is a genre-bending collection of songs, bringing together Webster’s feather-light vocals, intimate songwriting, and her acumen for being strikingly vulnerable and brave. Pulling from a familial lineage of folk storytelling and time spent in Atlanta’s hip-hop scene (notably rap collectives PSA and Awful Records), Webster’s work is a study of duality, weaving through her own introversion and heartbreak; it’s an idiosyncratic sadness punctuated by fleeting observations and an unexpected, sly sense of humor. “Everything is way personal. I’ve never been that kind of person who can read a book and then write a song about the book,” Webster says. “I have to write about very personal things for me to even want to write”. Atlanta Millionaires Club was co-produced by Webster and Drew Vandenberg and recorded at Chase Park Transduction in Athens, Georgia. Throughout the album, Webster foregoes genre, trying to avoid sounding like any contemporaries. The omnipresence of pedal steel eschews bluegrass trappings, flexible under Webster’s direction. She didn’t set out to make her new album sound like any artist in particular – but she cites Aaliyah as her main musical inspiration for how she uses sound.
