Shelly Fairchild is an undeniable paragon of raw, authentic talent. Drawing on her Mississippi Delta background, she masterfully maps out the full range of her genre-defying artistry on her forthcoming album, ‘”I’m Just Sayin’”
Shelly weaves together an album of lyrical and sonic masterpieces, boldly revealing her own journey of self-discovery with explosive intent. From the commanding ‘Love Everybody’…
“I’m feelin’ love ya’ll
That’s what I feel
Everytime I let go of my fear
Freedom, free from the hatred
Lord knows how long I’ve waited…”
….to the heart-wrenching ‘Somebody Pick Me Up’, we soar through the rich landscape of an inspirational voice. Shelly hides behind nothing, “We’re all a part of the human condition. I write songs which will resonate strongly with that feeling – we’re in this together. Do the right thing in the first place…I just want to look people in the eye and that’s where ‘Try The Truth’ comes from.”
Seduced by the bluesy swamp of ‘Take Me Down’ we’re called to action in ‘Here’s Your Box’, a song profoundly relevant for our times, striking at the heart of conformity…
“Hallaluyah you’ve been blessed
We’ll take half, give you the rest
Shut your mouth and shut your mind
What you think has been denied
Here’s your box now get inside…”
Whether it’s a love found or love lost Shelly’s musical consciousness remains entirely truthful, honest, and enticing – the essence of the artist herself. By her own remarkable standards, Shelly sings “with everything I’ve got” making her live performance a must see to be believed event. Speaking of her sheer joy for performing, she swells in confidence, “there’s just no reason to be…you know… timid. So we bring it.”
Irresistibly, she invites her audience to share in the heartland of her narrative, it is with an astonishing passion and versatility that propels her and the listener through a myriad of personal experiences, engaging from the outset.
From the title track ‘Im Just Sayin’, Shelly challenges,
“Take a break and stop yo’ hating
Love yourself your time is wasting
Go on get that dream you’re chasing…”
And with that, you know nothing will stand in the way of Shelly Fairchild’s irrepressible rise… and rise…
