But with a brand new album, <em>Far From Home<\/em>, she\u2019ll return to the road for a bulk of early 2020. <\/p>\n<p>Sellers co-produced the project with Frank Liddell and recorded it at Sonic Ranch Studios near El Paso, Texas. (Incidentally, Liddell is her stepfather. Her mother is country artist Lee Ann Womack and her father is songwriter and musician Jason Sellers).<\/p>\n<p>Four years after her auspicious debut album, <em>New City Blues<\/em>, Sellers is releasing <em>Far From Home<\/em> on an indie label and planning nationwide shows with kindred spirit Lillie Mae.<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"> Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oIGpZYarkpc?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oIGpZYarkpc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>\t<\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<p>In addition, she\u2019ll open a number of shows on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmt.com\/cmt-next-women-of-country-tour\">CMT Next Women of Country tour<\/a> headlined by Tanya Tucker.

What was on your mind as you wrote it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sellers: The reason I made the album title <em>Far From Home<\/em>, and put it as the first track on the record, is because it embodies the feeling of this record for me. When I was making my first record, I had never been on tour. It was like my first step out.<\/p>\n<p>After that I toured a lot and grew up a lot. I felt like I was coming into myself. I felt a little more grown-up when I wrote this record. So, \u201cFar From Home\u201d for me embodies that feeling of never quite fitting in and trying to find your place. For me, this record is that journey.<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"> Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sqgs-YOOn_A?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sqgs-YOOn_A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>\t<\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>What do you enjoy the most about being on stage?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Being on stage, honestly, was a hard thing for me to get used to, as a frontwoman. But I\u2019m excited to be back on the road because I haven\u2019t been touring much over the last year. I think for me, what\u2019s made it fun \u2013 and now I\u2019m getting to enjoy it finally \u2013 is that I get to share these songs that I wrote and have a connection with people because of them. That\u2019s what\u2019s so special for me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What did you not like about touring at first?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m just very introverted. It\u2019s very hard for me to have that much immediate attention on me. I don\u2019t necessarily consider myself an \u201centertainer,\u201d not that I can\u2019t be entertaining, but it\u2019s about the music for me. So it was not completely natural for me to get up on stage and feel natural doing it. The only thing that helps is just to get out there and do it a bunch. So, I toured a lot on my first record and it helped me get comfortable and start to enjoy it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"> Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CP0DA5G5z-k?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CP0DA5G5z-k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>\t<\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Are you a fan of Tanya Tucker?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I\u2019m a fan. I think it is awesome that she\u2019s having this resurgence right now, and she\u2019s getting the respect she deserves. I feel like she\u2019s ascended to legend status. I mean she already was, but I think it\u2019s amazing that she\u2019s still able to create great art that people respect. She\u2019s getting so much recognition for her new album. I find her inspiring, how bold she\u2019s been throughout her career, not just musically but with herself and with her personality. She\u2019s putting it all out there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does it mean to you personally to be included among CMT\u2019s Next Women of Country?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s been a really great program to support new artists, in a time when it\u2019s much needed in the genre. The first show I\u2019m playing on this tour is with Brandy Clark and Tanya, which is amazing. Brandy and I wrote a song on my first record and she\u2019s inspiring to me. It\u2019s amazing for me to be in the company of these legends! It\u2019s inspiring to be around women who are making an impact, and writing their own songs, and getting out there and having their own voices.<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"> Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YoL7FO5uZfM?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YoL7FO5uZfM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>\t<\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>What do you hope people will learn about you when they hear this new album?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My goal is just to be as vulnerable as possible and hope in some way that connects to people. It goes back to what I was saying about \u201cFar From Home,\u201d and that the idea behind the record for me is a self-discovery process. I think it\u2019s an important time to be vulnerable, and an important time to open our hearts and be as empathetic as possible with each other. <\/p>\n<p>There are songs on this record like \u201cHaven\u2019t Even Kissed Me Yet\u201d that are so intimate. It\u2019s one of those things where you sit down and write it, and you think, \u201cThis song may only mean something into me.\u201d Then you play it out and even something that personal can connect with people. People really do connect with honesty and they imprint their own experience on top of the song.<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"> Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ExmggxLPkuE?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ExmggxLPkuE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>\t<\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>What is that experience like for you to be on stage, and to see the audience enjoying your song?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, it\u2019s cool! You know, I still get nervous. I still have trouble looking at people sometimes because I don\u2019t want to get thrown off. I\u2019m very sensitive to all that energy. <\/p>\n<p>But I always go out after the show and I really enjoy talking to people, despite being an introvert. I find it nice to be able to have a personal, one-on-one connection and talk to people and see what they got out of the show.
