Noir-Americana starlet Lera Lynn debuts new single 'I'm Your Kamikaze' Released on June 10th on Icons Creating Evil Art. The album 'Something More Than Love' is released on 15th July.

I’m Your Kamikaze is the third track unveiled from Lynn’s anticipated new album, Something More Than Love, which will be released on 15th July. Produced and largely performed by Lynn and her partner Todd Lombardo (Kacey Musgraves, Donovan Woods, Kathleen Edwards), Something More Than Love was written following the birth of Lynn and Lombardo’s first child during the early months of the pandemic. Across these eleven tracks, Lynn chronicles this newfound experience - processing her intimate self-reflections and transforming them into an album that highlights universal themes of renewal, interconnectedness, surrender and sacrifice. Ahead of the release, Lynn has shared two additional tracks: Something More Than Love and Illusion, which UNCUT magazine said, “pleasingly suggests an attempt to connect with Patsy Cline via Lana Del Rey.”

Reflecting on the record, Lynn shares, “A lot of people were making records during the pandemic, and all they had was time. But it was the opposite experience for us. We created this whole record while still in the fog of early parenthood, and we didn’t have the luxury of waiting for lightning to strike. We had to be focused and intentional.” She continues, “It doesn’t feel like a new direction to me. It just feels like a progression. My fans have come to expect a new experience with each new album. I think people are ready for this sound and this energy. I certainly am.”

In addition to Lynn (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, drums, piano, synth bass) and Lombardo (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, keys, bass, strings, slide guitar), Something More Than Love also features Ian Fitchuk (drums), Daniel Tashian (Wurlitzer), Robby Handley (bass), Bennett Dean Lewis (pedal steel), Viktor Krauss (bass), Nat Smith (cello, keys) and Avery Bright (violin).Something More Than Love is Lynn’s sixth studio album following 2018’s duets record, Plays Well With Others, and 2020’s On My Own, which Lynn wrote, sang, produced and recorded entirely by herself. Released to critical acclaim, Rolling Stone declared, “the most ambitious, daunting, and risky album of her career...it is the sound of someone having faith in their process,” while Relix praised, “The record feels like a creative leap forward for the brand of Nashvillian blues that she’s been honing,” and PopMatters proclaimed, “As a multi-instrumentalist, Lynn shines, but her vocal performance is the spellbinding element throughout these songs.”

Born in Houston and now based in Nashville, Lynn has amassed a passionate fanbase throughout the past decade. In addition to touring extensively internationally, Lynn also had a recurring role on season two of HBO’s acclaimed show True Detective
