Mary Spender Announces UK Tour in Support of ‘Super. Sexy. Heartbreak’

Mary Spender, the celebrated 21st-century musician known for her DIY approach and significant presence on YouTube, is thrilled to announce the release of her debut studio album, Super. Sexy. Heartbreak and a UK headline tour in support of the record in September and October.

Super. Sexy. Heartbreak is a testament to Mary Spender’s dedication to her craft and fans. The album showcases her sultry, jazz-influenced voice, confessional lyrics, and intricate fingerstyle guitar technique. Combining elements of Blues, Rock, Folk, and Americana, the album offers a timeless sound that resonates deeply with listeners.

Mary took a bold stand against the modern devaluation of music by prioritizing physical formats over streaming services like Spotify. The album was initially released track-by-track on her YouTube Channel over eleven months, culminating in a full release. Fans can also enjoy the album in CD, Vinyl, and cassette formats, celebrating the tangible value of music.

In an album launch video, Setting the Record Straight, Mary advises fellow musicians on how using Kevin Kelly’s Rule of One Thousand True Fans principle and self-producing physical formats like CDs and vinyl can help build a sustainable music career. Success as a 21st-century musician should not be dictated by Big Tech platforms like Spotify.
