West Texas singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Solya announces her debut album, Queen of Texas, out 6 March via VERSION III.

Drawing from her Southwestern roots, Solya’s debut album drifts between Americana and indie rock, unpacking heartbreak, self-discovery, and the weight of growing up queer in a conservative small town.

“I think a lot of artists feel the need to move to New York or LA to be successful. I don’t feel that I need to move to a big city because I draw inspiration from where I grew up. I just want to be the Queen of Texas.”

Alongside the announcement, Solya releases lead single ‘Tell Me It’s Over’, a slow-burning reflection on the emotional aftermath of leaving a toxic relationship.
