DC native, but now-established Athens artist, Wim Tapley released his newest full-length album, Red Door , earlier this month. From his first single in 2018, Tapley was always a promising artist and his recent success selling out the Georgia Theatre—not to mention the steady pace of releases he’s cranked out—are evidence of him fulfilling that promise. The new album is an incredibly well-produced record that showcases Tapley’s expansive songwriting style. Significantly, though, he can craft down-home, emotional whimsy like “Well Tequila” and lovelorn alt-country like “Errands,” and place them right alongside of neo-soul burners like “Talk To Me” and “Jefe.”
