NASHVILLE, Tenn. (January 29, 2021) – Americana artist, Lilly Winwood, showcases her talent with the release of her debut album, Time Well Spent, out today. Winwood gives a glimpse into her personal experiences with her wise beyond her years writing. Her rootsy voice is the perfect compliment as she explores coming of age themes of going through finding love, making mistakes, waiting for karma to catch up and discovering her true self. Listeners will be able to find themselves throughout the album. Listen to Time Well Spent here.
“I’m excited to share these songs with you that I have been working on for so very long. I hope that they speak to you and take you on a journey of your own,” says Winwood.
With the first single off Time Well Spent, Winwood was able to start making a name for herself. This past December, the music video for “Few More Records” entered into rotation on CMT’s CMT Edge. Previously, the creative video had been exclusively premiered by Grateful Web. This is just the beginning for Windwood.
“One Big Sky” is featured in Spotify’s New Music Nashville and Whiskey Riff’s New Music Friday and “Few More Records” featured on Nashville Briefings New Music Round Up.
“Her vocals balance a chord between country and folk-rock. The robust sound is reminiscent of angst native to the ’90s, yet not as clearly defined from song-to-song.” – Madeline Crone, American Songwriter
“More influenced by her pop’s later years and her own Nashville residency, Winwood’s personal music doesn’t make her a Joni Mitchell for modern times, it makes her solely her own woman all the way through. This is a singer songwriter you have to put on your list. Well done.” – Chris Spector, Midwest Record
“From the first note of Lilly Winwood’s Time Well Spent I had chills, Lilly’s voice is a fresh sound to country. Her delivery has a soulful country feel and is one that can be compared to Linda Ronstadt and Trisha Yearwood.” – Michelle Lee, Bluegrass Borderline
“And not that the label persists for long after you hear her singing her own songs. This is an artist who doesn’t need her famous dad’s coattails.” – Dana Joseph, Cowboys & Indians
“The video release of ‘Few More Records’ provides a delectable taste of Winwood’s definitive country style highlighting her rich vocals and ability to carefully craft thoughtful lyrics. The full-bodied, metallic twang of the guitars resonates forcefully, welcoming Winwood’s bright, steady voice.” – Nicole Lise Feingold, Grateful Web
“Now set to release a new single (‘Few More Records’), a song with straight forward lyrics, that paired with her resonating vocals, make it an anthem for anyone whose career path is more like a maze than a straight arrow.” – Donna Block, Medium
“‘Few More Records’ is a pure country tune with exquisite vocals that goes from rock steady to rock heavy, with plenty of piano and drum beats that’ll become an easy fan favorite.” – Michelle Kennedy, The Country Note
About Lilly Winwood
After feeling that the countryside of her native Gloucestershire, England felt too familiar, and London was, in her own words, “so big, so expensive, and reeked of havoc and loss and all that good stuff,” she decided to spend a few weeks in Nashville, where she spent her childhood summers, but ended up staying instead. As the daughter of classic rock legend Steve Winwood, she grew up playing and writing. Winwood’s debut EP, Silver Stage, chronicled the journey through earnest coming-of-age narratives and a sound that—much like her father’s work—offers an English take on traditional American roots music. Backed by Nashville-via-Australia producer Joshua Barber (Gotye, Archie Roach), the songs on Silver Stage blend Bonnie Raitt’s world-weary vocals, My Morning Jacket’s ethereal twang, and Brittany Howard’s no-bullshit bravado to create an EP that pays homage to Lilly’s singer-songwriter idols (like John Prine) and establishes the twenty-one-year-old as a writer that’s wise beyond her years. Following the release of Silver Stage, Winwood has continued on to collaborate with fellow East-Nashville-based Americana artists such as Boo Ray, with the release of their A-side/ B-side vinyl collaboration. Lilly also collaborated with Nashville based Americana artist Don Gallardo on his 7-track EP In the Name of Good Intentions where Lilly’s vocals are featured on more than half of the songs. Rolling Stone deemed Winwood and Gallardo’s “Shine a Light on Me” one of the Top 10 Best Country, Americana songs to hear now in 2019, amongst Trisha Yearwood and Tanya Tucker. Lilly has set her debut album release Time Well Spent for early 2021. This record was produced by Alex Munoz and Allen Thompson in Nashville, Tenn. at High Cotton Recording Studio.
