Mickey Guyton will release a new EP Bridges on September 11 on Capitol Records Nashville.

The songs featured on Bridges were co-written by Mickey over the last two years and include the critically acclaimed, previously released tracks “What Are You Gonna Tell Her?,” “Black Like Me” and current single “Heaven Down Here.”

Guyton said in a press release, “Two years ago, this project didn’t feel like it was even a possibility. This EP proves that in your darkest moments, you can have your biggest breakthroughs. I think back to all of the obstacles in my life and career, including writing and recording most of this EP in quarantine during a time of social unrest, and how it has all led to the birth of this beautiful project."

She added, "I hope these songs provide others with the same happiness and strength they have provided me in these uncertain times.”
