Queen Of Texas - Coloured Vinyl

Red & Blue Starburst Vinyl. 20-year-old singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Solya has been making music since she was just four years old, drawing inspiration from legends like Harry Nilsson and David Bowie, as well as the desolate West Texas landscape she calls home. In 2023, she self-released her first EP, Fever Dream, immediately captivating fans with her singular sound - reminiscent of the vocal delivery of Patsy Cline, the cutting lyrics of Fiona Apple, all layered over shimmering synths, 1950s rock 'n' roll melodies, and the western flair of a country slide guitar. Her early success led to sold-out shows, including a headline set at the iconic Troubadour in West Hollywood and multiple dates in the US and UK. Now, Solya has shared her most fully realized collection of songs to date with her debut album, Queen of Texas, out now via VERSION III. Solya wrote every song on the album, recording the collection with a small team of collaborators using analog equipment over 10 days in Lockhart, Texas. The album explores chaotic love, rebellion, and the isolation of growing up queer in a small, conservative town. Solya celebrated it's release with her first headline tours of North America and Europe, selling out numerous shows and appearing at major festivals. Through it all, she has remained committed to her roots. "I don't feel that I need to move to a big city because I draw inspiration from where I grew up. I just want to be the Queen of Texas."
