Shelby Raye - Not Ready to Make Nice

Guys Don't Get It

Stranded came from a very dark place and time in my life.  I was lost and wasn't sure how to help others find me again.  I'm very glad that time is over, but I am also thankful of the lessons learned. I wrote this as a reminder to never go back to that place again.

Recorded at Bonfire Recording Studios in Piedmont, SC, and mixed & mastered by Brad Phillips of Studio 101 in Greenville, SC, “No Filter” is the first release from the young crooner showcasing original music written and co-produced by Shelby Raye herself and Matt Miller from Greenwood, SC.  

“While leaning heavily into the country lane, Shelby Raye’s style is more of a unique swagger that refuses to be narrowly defined by just one genre”, says manager Kristy Shealy of Steel Magnolia Management.  

Although most of the tracks do feature pedal steel, Dobro & slide guitar deeply rooted in the Nashville sound – the groove of the title track “No Filter” is undeniably swampy and sassy, highlighting the soulful twang of Shelby Raye’s robust vocals. A recent review of the track from Columbia, SC’s Freetimes Magazine Journalist, Kevin Oliver, states “There’s a bit of Loretta Lynn shining through the sassy lines of “No Filter”...though the style is more contemporary Miranda Lambert. “ 

Following on the heels of her hard-rocking first single, “Guys Don’t Get It”, this album gives listeners a more intimate look at what Shelby Raye is all about.  Her co-writes with J Edwards and Cricket Davis on "No Filter" and "Can't Rain Every Day" have carved out a more thoughtful and personal message all her own.  

You'll hear exactly how Shelby Raye got her start in the closing track, “Hometown Crew”. Penned by Raye and her mother, the song vividly tells the story of the starlet’s journey thus far and gives a rollicking nod to those who have supported her throughout.
