Beth Nielsen Chapman is back with new music after a four-year hiatus with CrazyTown, out this fall on UK imprint Cooking Vinyl. A bluesy new single from the project, “ Hey Girl ,” written in reaction to the Me Too movement, is out now.

“We were talking about the capacity for survival and overcoming the challenges that are part of being in the world as a female, balancing strength and vulnerability,” Chapman explains. “As the writing of the song progressed, we touched on feeling lost, being taken advantage of, and navigating one’s safety and the experience of not being taken seriously.

“CrazyTown is a collection of songs that reflect all the twists and turns of life, especially reflective of this wild ride we have all been living through,” she continues. “I’m looking forward to hitting the road with this new music finally seeing the light of day.”

Inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2016, Chapman has released 14 solo albums, written seven No 1s, and has had songs recorded by Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson, Bette Midler, Elton John,  Neil Diamond,  and more.

She will be returning to the UK for a new 20-date tour, kicking off on Oct. 18 in Stamford.
