Stella Lefty Announces Debut Album, ‘Long Way Home’

The Chicago-born singer will release Long Way Home on Aug. 21, with a new single, “Lean In, Kiss Me,” due Aug. 7.

  • On Sunday, Chicago-born singer Stella Lefty announced her debut album, "Long Way Home," during her Lollapalooza set in Chicago, performing for over 12,000 fans. The album releases August 21 via Atlantic Outpost.
  • Lefty grew up listening to Taylor Swift and Tim McGraw, influences that shaped her refusal to choose between genres. "No, I will not pick a lane," Lefty added, "because it wouldn't be authentic for me."
  • Her current hit "Boston" exploded at just the right time, and she released her new single "Lean In, Kiss Me" today, August 7. She previously opened shows on The Brunette World Tour and impressed at Stagecoach.
  • The August 21 release date falls exactly one week before the August 28 cutoff for the 69th annual Grammy Awards eligibility period. This timing positions Lefty as a strong contender for a best new artist nomination.
  • Other country artists like Ella Langley and Megan Moroney are also strong contenders for nominations this year. If all three are nominated, it would mark the first time three country artists compete in the same Grammy category.
