Faye Webster official bio:

Faye Webster loves the feeling of a first take: writing a song, then heading to the studio with her band to track it live the very next day. When you listen to the 23-year-old Atlanta songwriter’s poised and plainspoken albums, you can hear why: she channels emotions that are so aching, they seem to be coming into existence at that very moment. Webster captures the spark before it has a chance to fade; she inks lyrics before they have a chance to seem fleeting. Her signature sound pairs close, whisper-quiet, home-recorded vocals with the unmistakable sound of musicians together in a room.

I Know I’m Funny haha is Webster’s most realized manifestation yet of this emotional and musical alchemy. Continuing to bloom from her 2019 breakthrough and Secretly Canadian debut Atlanta Millionaires Club, Webster’s sound draws as much from the lap-steel singer-songwriter pop of the 1970s and teardrop country tunes as it does from the audacious personalities of her city’s rap and R&B community.

In the two years since Atlanta Millionaire Club, Webster’s profile has steadily risen—as she played festivals like Austin City Limits and Bonnaroo and found her way onto none other than Barack Obama’s 2020 year-end list—and she also fell in love. “This record is coming from a less lonely place,” Webster says of I Know I’m Funny haha, which finds her sound fuller, brighter, and more confident. “When I wrote AMC, I was living by myself. Now I’m living with my partner; I’m happy most of the time. I’m in such a different place. These songs aren’t necessarily happier, but it’s a different vibe.”

Accepting the challenges, Webster says she’s in a growth mindset, pushing herself to learn more, to be more vulnerable. “Growth is really important to me,” she says. “I hope people will relate to my songs, and not just be like ‘this is a good record’ but ‘this makes me feel something. This is making me question things.’ I told myself a few years ago that I was going to be more honest in my songwriting. If I have a voice and people are listening to me, I’m not going to waste it.”

Better Distractions lyrics:

I sit around until I find something better to spend my time
But nothing's appealin'
Nothing really lasts that long for me to realize, I'm still alone
And you're not with me
I wonder what's inside your mind, but you seem pretty occupied
So I'll leave it alone
If only I could do the same, share your ways, and I'll change the name
And make it my own

Will you? Will you? Will you? Will you?
Will you? Will you be with me?

I tried to eat, I tried to sleep, but everything seems boring to me
I don't know what to do
Got two friends that I could see, but they got two jobs and a baby
I just wanna see you
Depending on our time apart, thе better that distractions arе
And there isn't a lot
It only took a couple times without you here to realize
But I figured it out

Will you? Will you? Will you? Will you?
Will you? Will you be with me?
