A rare glimpse into the early artistry of one of pop music’s most influential writers, Pebe Sebert is both a time capsule and a revelation. Sebert’s only full-length recording, the album – which was produced by multi-Platinum, award-winning producer Guy Roche (Christina Aguilera, Selena, Brandy, Celine Dion, Cher) and has now been lovingly reproduced and mastered by Daniël Rios Mol & Jeffrey Wahl – was recorded over a series of sessions in the early 1980s but never before released in its entirety. The album includes the latest single, “City’s Burning,” along with such fan favorites as 2021’s “Vampire” and 2022’s “Hard Times Ahead,” now presented in their definitive forms.

Known for penning classic hits for artists including Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, Miranda Cosgrove, and her daughter Kesha, Pebe Sebert has spent virtually all of her life making music. A graduate of the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy for musically gifted students, she spent much of her youth singing both in bands and as a solo artist in coffeehouses around the US and Europe. In 1980, Sebert scored her first #1 song when Dolly Parton recorded “Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You,” co-written with her then-husband Hugh Moffatt. She continued to rack up success after success with songs written for such stars as Kathy Mattea, Johnny Cash, June Carter, Crystal Gayle, and Merle Haggard, before working closely with Kesha on such blockbuster hits as the 5x RIAA Platinum-certified “Your Love Is My Drug” and Pitbull’s 12x Platinum, #1 smash, “Timber (Feat. Kesha).” In 2017, Sebert co-wrote six songs on Kesha’s GRAMMY® Award-nominated, Platinum-certified, #1 album, Rainbow, highlighted by a reunion with Dolly Parton for a duet version of “Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You” which she co-produced.
In early 2021, Sebert discovered the original half-inch tapes of recordings she’d made in the early 1980s for her debut solo album in a dusty box in her basement. Deeply personal and powerfully haunting tracks like “Vampire” and “Hard Times Ahead” were refined, enhanced, and finally released after more than three decades, earning high-profile acclaim from such publications as Rolling Stone, PAPER, and NYLON, to name but a few.
Sebert’s remarkably diverse accomplishments have earned her an array of honors, including a GRAMMY® Award nomination, a BMI Pop Music Award, and an ever-growing collection of Gold and Platinum certifications around the world. She has further been active in a variety of important social causes, founding The Magic Mission, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to stopping the overpopulation, abuse, and homelessness of dogs and cats in Central America. Now, with the long-overdue arrival of her lost classic debut album, Pebe Sebert is finally poised to take her own rightful place in the pop spotlight.
