Heather Mae announces new LP 'GLIMMER'May 9, 2019Washington, DC-based artist Heather Mae has announced the forthcoming release of her new album GLIMMER, due out September 20th. Mae is here to shake up the status quo with her message: 'Feel To Heal.' Unfazed by what a typical pop artist today is “supposed” to look like and how the typical pop artist is “supposed” to sound, the award-winning songwriter whose evocative vocals and rhythmic piano style call to mind artists like Stevie Nicks and Sara Bareilles, creates intoxicating music that tackles complex topics surrounding mental health, LGBTQ+ issues, self-love, racial injustice, social inequality, and women's rights. Inspired by her own personal experiences and identities -- a queer, plus size woman living with Bipolar Disorder -- and those of her multifaceted fans with whom she has forged connections throughout her many years of touring across the United States, Mae crafts powerful lyrics and unforgettable music about life's moments -- from the quietly chaotic to the explosive. 'Feelin' Crazy,' the album's lead single which premiered this week at Billboard, was written to shatter stigmas around mental health and as Mae says, 'to own her own crazy.'
