Huntsville’s Own Aimee Bobruk Prepares to Release “Malybanchia” and “Mississippi Risin’” from Her Upcoming Album, Embarking on a Musical Journey Along the Mississippi River
April 10, 2024 – Musician Aimee Bobruk is set to release two captivating singles from her eagerly awaited album, Malybanchia. The first single, titled after the album, will debut on April 11, followed by “Mississippi Risin’” on May 1. Bobruk’s new music embodies her expedition along the Mississippi River and her time spent at the home of renowned southern gothic writer, Carson McCullers, offering fans a series of auditory snapshots crafted in the spirit of her adventures.
“Malybanchia” draws its name from an old American Indian term for the Mississippi River, encapsulating the tumultuous and untamed essence of love through the metaphor of America’s most storied delta. Accompanied by a music video composed of historical footage spanning a century, the song aims to evoke the profound and often chaotic nature of human emotion and natural disasters alike.
On the other hand, “Mississippi Risin’” provides a more intimate glimpse into Bobruk’s life, detailing her feelings of anticipation and apprehension surrounding her elopement in New Orleans. Through this piece, she confides her concerns about familial expectations and societal norms, portraying the Mississippi River as both a confidant and a symbol of her journey towards unconventional love.
Recorded with the collaboration of esteemed musicians, including producer and bassist Brian Beattie and drummer Dony Wynn, Bobruk’s latest work promises to be a heartfelt exploration of both personal and collective narratives. Her rich musical background, highlighted by awards such as the BMI Woody Guthrie Fellowship and numerous accolades for her songwriting, sets the stage for a deeply resonant album.
Bobruk’s musical voyage is not just confined to the studio; she plans to bring Malybanchia to life through a series of live release concerts, with performances scheduled in Huntsville and Austin, Texas. These shows not only mark the official unveiling of her new album but also symbolize a homecoming for the Huntsville native.
As Bobruk prepares to share her latest creations with the world, she invites listeners to embark on a journey through the heart of America, one song at a time. With Malybanchia and “Mississippi Risin’,” she continues to weave the rich tapestry of her musical and personal odyssey, promising an unforgettable experience for fans old and new.
