Sir Woman—the solo project of vocalist and songwriter Kelsey Wilson—has released a new song, “Get Out Of My Mind” today. The new track follows “Making My Way,” both featured on the first half of their forthcoming double LP, If It All Works Out, set for release February 21. The second half, If It Doesn’t, will follow on May 16.
“‘Get Out Of My Mind’ is about the end of a relationship when you know your person has mentally moved on but won’t let you go physically,” Wilson details. “Spice, Uncle Roy and I wrote it a few years ago during a very transitional period in all of our lives, we hope it provides the same empowering feeling to the listeners that we got while writing it.”
Wilson’s long-held passion for soul, funk and R&B, led her to the creation of the double album, If It All Works Out and If It Doesn’t. On the first half, produced by Sir Woman and Matt Pence (Jason Isbell, John Grant, Sarah Jaffe, Cody Jinks, Here We Go Magic), Wilson emphasizes themes of love, positivity and romance, as well as embracing Sir Woman’s overall ethos of lifting yourself up. “It was all the records from the 70s that I loved listening to growing up,” says Wilson. “I got to emulate and do my version.” Written during Wilson’s darkest times, the latter of the two, If It Doesn’t, produced by Sir Woman and Jason Burt (Paul Cauthen, The Texas Gentleman, Leon Bridges), is meant to inspire you when you’re facing life’s challenges.
In support of the new music, Sir Woman will embark on a headline tour across North America. Kicking off on March 15, the run includes stops in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Nashville, Philadelphia, New York City, Toronto and more.
