Alyssa Micaela - The Hard Way (2023)

“Classy, sassy, and a little smart-assy,” Alyssa Micaela’s superpower has always been leading with authenticity. But after years in Nashville’s music industry, her forthcoming album, The Hard Way (out 4/28), chronicles a true shift in the focus of her art, and her hopes for its outcome. “This album started because I finally got to a point where I quit seeking approval from the music industry, and I quit recording songs I felt would impress a label.” From that mindset comes an 11-song project that offers unabashedly honest, earnest storytelling, told from a soul truly at peace with the direction of her career… and life.
