Dorothy is gearing up to release her new album, The Way, on March 14. In a recent chat, she shared her excitement about the project, expressing pride in the collection of songs and praising producer Scott Stevens for his outstanding work.
Reflecting on their collaboration, Dorothy mentioned that Stevens joined her team toward the end of her previous album, Gifts From the Holy Ghost. Their partnership blossomed as they spent time writing together in Nashville, leading to collaborations with artists like Scott Stapp on the duet “If These Walls Could Talk.” Beyond their professional relationship, Dorothy considers Stevens a close friend who keeps her grounded.
Delving into the album’s theme, Dorothy revealed that her faith played a significant role in its creation. She described a transformative experience while reading the Bible, where the phrase “the way” resonated deeply with her, leading to the album’s title. This moment was profound, bringing her to tears and solidifying her commitment to sharing messages of recovery and spirituality through her music.
In addition to the album, Dorothy has released the single “Mud,” which she describes as having an “outlaw vibe” influenced by her country music roots. This track showcases a blend of heavy rock and country elements, a style she playfully refers to as “heavy metal cowgirl.” Working closely with Scott Stevens, they crafted a sound that authentically represents her artistic vision.
Dorothy’s journey hasn’t been without challenges. She has openly discussed her struggles with addiction and the pivotal moment of finding faith during rehab. This personal evolution has deeply influenced her music, infusing it with themes of redemption and hope.
As the release date approaches, fans can look forward to experiencing The Way, an album that encapsulates Dorothy’s artistic growth and personal transformation.
