Wanita - I'm Wanita (2021)

Australia’s queen of honky tonk, WANITA forthcoming album I’M WANITA has gone on pre-order as a lush, opaque, limited edition red vinyl, black vinyl, CD and digitally. Release is scheduled for mid-July 2021

Owning the red hair and lipstick beyond persona, the crown of Australia’s Queen of Honky Tonk belongs to Wanita.

Wanita’s forthcoming third album ‘I’m Wanita’ was recorded by Billy Yates & Larry Beaird at world-renowned Beaird Studios, Nashville. This album has been preceded by two albums, the first recorded at ‘The Pub’ in hometown Tamworth and the second at Garth Porter Studios, Sydney.

Wanita’s voice is respected around the world. ‘I’m Wanita’ reveals her life in a way that has never been disclosed through the words and notes of a song before, backed by a documentary that captures the essence of Wanita and her albums in moving pictures.

Wanita’s latest album has already been described by someone fortunate enough to have heard it as having “captured the dichotomy of Wanita’s life and torrid mood swings, her monumental stage presence, her exceptional vocal capacity and her deep connection with traditional country music”. It should be rightly noted though that Wanita’s mood swings are only brought on by being with people who display laziness, incompetence, racism, prejudice, and dishonesty.

Wanita has been the centre of a turbulent life, which undoubtedly is what makes her personality and music so raw and real. Wanita experiences the world with an autistic lens, and like the rest of us in Australia, Wanita has been working to see her dreams come true at any expense – scraping pennies together, but still giving everything but the shirt off of her back to those in need.

Wanita isn’t just a country music star, but someone who genuinely cares about people, whether they live in of Tamworth or on the streets of Nashville. Though so down-to-earth, Wanita is far from every day, pushing with every ounce of her human being to live the life she has dreamed of as a world renowned star of Honky Tonk and country music, in the same way her idol Loretta Lynn has been since the 1960s.
