Molly Tuttle – Old Me (New Wig)
Grammy Award winner Molly Tuttle shares “Old Me (New Wig),” the resilient new single from her forthcoming album, So Long Little Miss Sunshine, due out August 15, 2025 via Nonesuch Records.
“This started off as writing a break-up song. We wanted every line to be kind of a zinger. And then we got to the chorus, and it turned into a song about leaving all these things behind that don’t serve you anymore. Parts of yourself that really aren’t in your best interest, like low self-esteem, or not feeling confident,” Tuttle explains. “That is another theme of the record that inspired the album title and the cover art. Those are all things I’ve struggled with through the years—just feeling like an impostor, like I wasn’t good enough. And I like singing this song because there are days I’m still telling myself to leave that stuff behind.”
Earlier this month Tuttle was profiled by CBS Saturday Morning’s Anthony Mason and played songs from So Long Little Miss Sunshine including lead single “That’s Gonna Leave A Mark.”
Recorded in Nashville with producer Jay Joyce (Orville Peck, Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson), the fifth full album from the singer, songwriter, and virtuoso guitarist marks a sonic departure from her recent work. Tuttle says, “I’ve been wanting to make this record for such a long time. Part of me was scared to do such a big departure, and that went into the album title.” Eventually, she decided, “‘You know what? I’m just not going to care what people think. I’m going to do what I want.’”
