Nashville-based outlaw country artist India Ramey releases the new single “Welcome To My Villain Era,” now out via Copoco and Blue Elan Records. The song also serves as the title track for her upcoming album ‘Villain Era’, scheduled for release on May 8, 2026. Built around fiddle, twang-forward guitars, and a classic honky-tonk rhythm, the track centers on personal boundaries and self-definition. “If my boundaries offend you,” Ramey says, “I’ll happily play the villain in that story.”
‘Villain Era’ was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Eric Corne and features contributions from Eugene Edwards on guitar, Chris Masterson on guitar, and Eleanor Whitmore on fiddle. Written entirely by Ramey, the album follows her 2024 release ‘Baptized By The Blaze’ and reflects a shift toward autonomy and clarity. Ramey describes the project directly, saying, “This album is the ‘healed’ me. I spent years as a people pleaser, not knowing how to have boundaries. I lost sight of who I really was. These songs are about reclaiming that.”
