Review

Heather Mae is not short of ambition and her double release kiss & tell and WHAT THEY HID FROM ME are a powerful one-two punch of owning one's queerness in the face of trauma. As Mae mentioned in our interview last year, the plan for this project was too bold for a single album – Mae wanted to involve as many women and nonbinary people in the Nashville music scene as possible, and to leverage specific genres to spread her message.

Country Universe

The longest-running country music blog, Country Universe was founded on and remains committed to the fact-based notion that country music has never been the exclusive purview of artists who are straight, white, Christian, Southern, and (mostly) men. When focusing on either the genre's history or its present, CU takes a "big tent" approach to the broader country universe and believes that a foundation of empathy makes country music an essential part of our shared popular culture.
