Kathleen Edwards - Billionaire

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Kathleen Edwards returns with her highly anticipated new album, Billionaire, out August 22 on Dualtone Records. Produced by Jason Isbell and Gena Johnson, the 10-track collection recalls the sharp wit and emotional honesty of Edwards’ 2003 debut Failer, while carving new ground with its incisive storytelling and unflinching observations.

Hailed as one of the pioneering voices of modern alt-country and Americana, Edwards has long been celebrated for her lyrical candor and keen eye for detail. The New York Times praises her “droll, observant and unsparing tone,” likening her writing to that of a master short-storyteller. Billionaire further cements her reputation, pairing her trademark eloquence with a renewed creative energy.

Since her 2003 debut, Edwards has released five acclaimed albums, including 2020’s Total Freedom—a triumphant return after nearly a decade away from music. That record was hailed by outlets like Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and The New Yorker, with Rolling Stone calling it “devastatingly great.” Most recently, she collaborated on a covers EP with Jason Isbell, Bahamas, and Daniel Tashian, interpreting songs by Bruce Springsteen, The Flaming Lips, Tom Petty, and more.

With Billionaire, Kathleen Edwards delivers a striking new chapter—at once sharp, heartfelt, and resonant—further solidifying her place as one of the most important songwriters in contemporary Americana.
