Remember Her Name is the upcoming debut studio album by American country artist Mickey Guyton. It is scheduled to be released on September 24, 2021 via Capitol Records Nashville. A follow-up release to her extended play, Bridges (2020), the album includes the singles "What Are You Gonna Tell Her?", "Black Like Me" and a re-recorded version of her 2015 single, "Better Than You Left Me".
Background and content[]
Signed to Capitol Records Nashville since 2011, Guyton released her debut extended play, Unbreakable, in 2014. In 2015, her second self-titled extended play was released. Her third extended play, Bridges, was released in 2020. Remember Her Name is scheduled to be released ten years after Guyton signed to Capitol Nashville.
Remember Her Name was titled in tribute to the memory of Breonna Taylor, a black resident of Louisville, Kentucky who was shot and killed by local police enforcement. "The frustration that I’ve felt as an African-American has been a part of my process for a while. So the song, and album, are dedicated to [Breonna Taylor] and giving her the justice that she deserves," she told Country Music Television.[2] The album will contain a total of 16 tracks, some of which are from Guyton's 2020 extended play, Bridges.[3][4]
The album also include a re-recorded version of "Better Than You Left Me", Guyton's debut single,[3] which was first released in 2015 and first included on her eponymous extended play.[5] In addition, Guyton covers Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy" for the project. The album includes production credits from Karen Kosowski, Jimmy Robbins, Johnny Simmen, Nathan Chapman, Forest Whitehead, Gavin Slate, Andy Skip, and David Kalmusky.[3]
