Brandy Clark Enjoying Big Buzz Ahead of CMAs – ABC News.
“I had been passed on a lot,” said Clark, 37, during a recent interview at her management office on Music Row. “I think it’s because I didn’t really fit what is a mainstream country artist. I was over 30 and over a size 2. I was kinda more your average woman than your average super model, which is why my music resonates though.”
To call her a dark horse in the awards show is somewhat of an understatement. She’s the only female artist in the new artist category and her album didn’t get one single on the country charts. While the rest of country music is awash in good-time party feelings, she’s singing dark, edgy tales about infidelity, divorce, murderous lovers and painkiller addiction.
Sounds like an interesting artist. Might have to check out her music!
