Faye Webster Announces New Album And Shares Single “Cheers”

Atlanta wunderkind Faye Webster announces her new album, I Know I’m Funny haha, out June 25th on Secretly Canadian. To mark the occasion she has released the first single, “Cheers” and its companion music video directed by Matt Swinsky. “This song has always felt like a standout from the record to me. It was the kind of song where you’re like ‘oh yeah, this is the one,’” Webster says of “Cheers.” “Right after the first take. It felt different to me and it made it feel like I was entering a new era and chapter for myself. It’s kind of the outlier on the record but at the same time is still so original and identifying to myself. Also it just makes me feel like a badass for once.”

The video features Faye hanging with Atlanta’s dirt bike scene king SIG and the Real Bike Life Only riders. “I’ve known SIG and the bike life guys for many years now. If cameras were not present these guys are still riding for their own enjoyment. People love what they do and yet there are still many people who are so quick to judge and label them in a hateful way. Everyone of them that I’ve met has been kind, welcoming and hospitable to us so that inspires me to continue documenting them the best I can,” says Swinsky. 

The album is available for pre-order today with the option to purchase limited edition blue vinyl, t-shirts and other specialty item bundles.
