Mickey Guyton's path in country music has been fraught with obstacles, but her perseverance turned into a powerful and personal debut full-length album“Remember Her Name," Mickey Guyton (Capitol Records Nashville)It's hard enough to be Black woman in America, but Mickey Guyton's path in country music has been especially fraught with obstacles she had to overcome. On her debut full-length album released a decade after she was initially signed to her label (a fact that itself raises questions), Guyton has proven what hasn't killed her has only made her stronger. She's also flaunting and strutting on the catwalk-ready doo-wop bop “Different,” and her vocal runs on “Lay It On Me” are a spiritual experience. On a cover of Beyonce's hit “If I Were a Boy," Guyton's powerful voice hits all the emotional high notes of the tender ballad. Guyton is honest about hitting rock bottom while still trying to make others comfortable, a relatable experience for anyone.
