Mae Estes Slates Self-Titled EP For October

/by

Rising singer-songwriter Mae Estes will release her self-titled EP on October 10 via Big Machine Records.

In a just-released new track from the upcoming project, “Drunk On That,” Estes finds herself with an overwhelming list of reasons to drink away the hurt following the end of a relationship. Sitting in the despair ultimately leads to flashes of defining moments of the relationship that she’d rather forget, vinyl records, packed bags, a diamond ring, which act as a catalyst to go off the deep end and overindulge.

“My buddy Chancie Neal used to play ‘Drunk On That’ in songwriter rounds years ago and I never forgot about it. It was one of those spins on a simple phrase that country music is so good at,” says Estes. “In the studio, our reference track for this one was ‘Neon Moon.’ Lonnie Wilson, who played drums on this song, then informed us he played drums in the same studio with the same snare for ‘Neon Moon.’ Stories like that are my favorite! I’m grateful to get to release my version of this country tune.”

The album is comprised of five tracks includes “Mr. Fix It,” “Mountain Of A Man,” “Drunk On That” and two never-before-released songs, “I Better Go” and “What She’s Havin’.”

“The timing of this EP is so exciting for me! I’ve been having the time of my life finding the folks who love the same kinda Country music I do,” says Estes. “Me and the band have been touring the country and really finding our people this year. I’m stoked to give ‘em a few more tunes to go turn up!”
