A talented Highbridge-based singer\/songwriter has released her long-awaited debut album, drawing on a lifetime of musical inspiration and personal experience.<\/p>\n

Chelsey Dee\u2019s first album, \u2018Dear Diary\u2019, was officially released on Friday 24th October and has already received glowing feedback from fans.<\/p>\n

The Americana-inspired collection blends Country, Blues, Folk and Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll influences, with Chelsey\u2019s original songwriting at its heart.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Burnham-On-Sea.com, Chelsey said: \u201cI\u2019ve always been drawn to the storytelling in Country and Folk music. I started writing songs as poems before I even picked up a guitar at 15 \u2013 I wanted to play like Johnny Cash, \u2018steady like a train, sharp like a razor\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She says the album is a deeply personal project, created in memory of Chelsey\u2019s late father, who was her biggest supporter.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter he passed away last year, I threw myself back into music \u2013 for me, and for him,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Recorded at 13 Sound Studios in Kewstoke, Dear Diary features eight original tracks, including Rolling Stone, 12 Bar Heartache, and the title track Dear Diary.<\/p>\n

The songs explore themes of heartbreak, anxiety, loss, and resilience, with Chelsey\u2019s raw vocals and honest lyrics resonating with listeners.<\/p>\n

The album has already been featured on Wave Community Radio and Jelli Records Radio, and CD copies sold out by 7pm on launch day.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s now available to stream or download on all major platforms, with vinyl copies available via Elastic Stage<\/a>. Chelsey\u2019s Facebook page, where fans can follow her journey, is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She adds: \u201cThis album means the world to me. I hope people find something in it they can connect with.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A talented Highbridge-based singer\/songwriter has released her long-awaited debut album, drawing on a lifetime of musical inspiration and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":228053,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-228052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228052","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228052"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228052\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228053"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228052"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228052"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228052"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
