Trixie Mattel’s latest country collection, Barbara, hits streaming services February 7th. Stylistically the album differs from Mattel’s previous companion releases Two Birds and One Stone as Rolling Stone detailed:
“Divided stylistically across its two sides, the album’s first half will tend toward the more jangly power pop of the standalone single “Yellow Cloud,” while the back half will loop back to Mattel’s country-folk origins as heard on Two Birds and One Stone. “
It is nice to see Mattel shedding further light on pioneering queer country group Lavender Country with a cover of their track I Can’t Shake the Stranger Out of You. You can see the full tracklist below:
Side A
1. “Malibu”
2. “We Got The Look”
3. “Girl Next Door”
4. “Jesse Jesse”
Side B
5. “Gold”
6. “I Don’t Have A Broken Heart”
7. “I Do Like You”
8. “Stranger” (Lavender Country cover)
Mattel has yet to release any of the tracks from Barbra yet, but you can hear her standalone track Yellow Cloud below.
