Not every 26-year-old has four studio albums to their name, but then again:

Faye Webster is not like most musicians. On the contrary, in recent years she has emerged as one of the most exciting and original songwriters of her generation, straddling the line between melancholic country, understated indie pop and subtly soulful elements that melodically quirky colleagues like Aldous Harding, Cate Le Bon and Stella Donnelly also explore.

Her latest album, I Know I'm Funny haha, was released in June 2021, adding to Faye Webster's recognition and success. Pitchfork named it "Best New Album" with a score of 8.4, while Politiken awarded it five out of six hearts, calling it "one of those records where you have to give yourself time and space to prick up your ears and fall into the music's almost lazy swells of sun-shimmering melodies".

In June, Webster released the single "But No Kisses", which Politiken selected for their recommendation feature "5 songs you should hear", and it would be strange if she hasn't been in the studio since.

Webster's breakthrough came in 2019 with the album Atlanta Millionaires Club, which playfully mixed intimate folk/country confessionals with catchy indie melodies, R&B rhythms and a feature from rapper Father. Pitchfork gave the album an impressive 7.8, The Guardian gave it four out of five stars, and here at home, Soundvenue gave it four stars, calling it "an introspective, vintage R&B record rooted in indie folk". The song "Better Distractions" from the album also landed on Barack Obama's hyped year-end playlist in 2020.
