Carla J. Easton announces new album I Think That I Might Love You. Stream new single & video ‘Oh Yeah’

On May 8, Carla J. Easton will release her new album I Think That I Might Love You on Ernest Jenning Record Co. Now, she is sharing the album’s lead single ‘Oh Yeah’ and its accompanying music video directed by Jacob Ceris Gandy. The song opens the album, setting things in motion with a bucketload of warmth and a full-spirited burst of pop co-written with her Poster Paints bandmate Simon Liddell, flying by in a heady rush of melodrama, with glowing melodies, and a dizzying sense of adventure.

I Think That I Might Love You marks a meaningful new chapter for Easton: a pop record at its core, but her first built primarily around the guitar. The album grew out of her work on Since Yesterday: The Untold Story of Scotland’s Girl Bands, during which women repeatedly told her how they picked up an instrument, learned a few chords, and jumped headfirst into making music. Having long centered her own career around keys, across four solo albums, her bands TeenCanteen and Poster Paints, and as part of The Vaselines’ live lineup, Easton felt compelled to follow that same instinctive leap.

Produced by Howard Bilerman (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Wolf Parade, Leonard Cohen, The Weather Station), the album finds Easton collaborating closely with friends old and new, resulting in an album that feels both natural and transformative. The new album was inspired not only by her time making the Since Yesterday film, but also by her work within Hen Hoose, the Scottish songwriting collective that unites a diverse array of female and non-binary artists, writers and producers to create new work collaboratively. As such, I Think That I Might Love You includes a number of co-writes across its eleven new songs, including Simon Liddell (Frightened Rabbit, Poster Paints), Hen Hoose’s MALKA (Hen Hoose), Glasgow’s Man of the Minch, Canadian singer-songwriter Brett Nelson, and cult hero Darren Hayman of Hefner.
