Today, Sir Woman—the solo project of vocalist and songwriter Kelsey Wilson—shares a new song, “Get Out Of My Mind.” Listen/share HERE.
“‘Get Out Of My Mind’ is about the end of a relationship when you know your person has mentally moved on but won’t let you go physically,” Wilson details. “Spice, Uncle Roy, and I wrote it a few years ago during a very transitional period in all of our lives. We hope it provides the same empowering feeling to listeners that we got while writing it.”
“Get Out Of My Mind” follows “Making My Way,” both of which are featured on the first half of their forthcoming double LP, If It All Works Out, set for release on February 21. The second half, If It Doesn’t, will follow on May 16. Pre-order HERE.
Wilson’s long-held passion for soul, funk, and R&B led her to the creation of the double album, If It All Works Out and If It Doesn’t. On the first half—produced by Sir Woman and Matt Pence (Jason Isbell, John Grant, Sarah Jaffe, Cody Jinks, Here We Go Magic)—Wilson emphasizes themes of love, positivity, and romance, as well as embracing Sir Woman’s overall ethos of lifting yourself up. “It was all the records from the ’70s that I loved listening to growing up,” says Wilson. “I got to emulate and do my version.” Written during Wilson’s darkest times, the latter of the two, If It Doesn’t—produced by Sir Woman and Jason Burt (Paul Cauthen, The Texas Gentleman, Leon Bridges)—is meant to inspire you when you’re facing life’s challenges.
In support of the new music, Sir Woman will embark on a headline tour across North America. Kicking off on March 15, the run includes stops in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Nashville, Philadelphia, New York City, Toronto, and more. See below for a complete list of dates. Tickets/more info HERE.

In 2022, Sir Woman took the Austin music scene by storm with the release of her full-length self-titled debut. This led her to take the stage at renowned clubs, earning Artist of the Year at the 2023 Austin Music Awards, as well as features in Rolling Stone, Spin, Variety, and on the cover of the Austin Chronicle. Wilson’s project earned upwards of 40 million streams on Spotify.
Sir Woman is influenced by R&B and gospel artists like Otis Redding, Billy Preston, Aretha Franklin, and Nina Simone.
For the past 14 years, Wilson has been the lead vocalist and violinist of the Austin-based American band Wild Child. In this time, the group released five albums and toured with artists like Mt. Joy, Robert Ellis, and Shakey Graves.
Further new music from Sir Woman is imminent.
