Debut Single “Love Me Like You Mean It” at Number 21 This Week
Nashville, Tenn. (April 2, 2015) – Black River Entertainment recording artist Kelsea Ballerini released the official album art and track listing for her 12-song debut album The First Time. Set for a May 19 release on Black River Entertainment, the lead single from the debut album nears the top 20 only inches away at #21 on the Billboard chart this week.
Fans are taking note of Kelsea’s debut single “Love Me Like You Mean It” at #19 on the Country Song Charts with 15,329 downloads this week. Furthering her name recognition, Variety announced yesterday that Kelsea Ballerini is among those presenting at the Radio Disney Music Awards, following her full schedule at the ACM awards, both coming up later this month.
Songwriting is at the cornerstone in Kelsea’s composition as an artist and it is on full display throughout The First Time as she’s the writer or co-writer on every track. Produced by Black River Publishing's songwriter/producer Forest Glen Whitehead along with Jason Masse, The First Time contains all of the tracks from the previously released digital EP and seven additional original tracks.
Named one of CMT’s “Next Women of Country” late last year, Kelsea is living up to the title as “Love Me Like You Mean It” (Ballerini, Kerr, Whitehead, Carpenter) continues its climb towards the Top 20, and has landed her on several “ones to watch” lists for 2015 including Billboard, Country Weekly, The Huffington Post, CBS Local’s Radio.com, Spotify, #CMChat, Country Music Is Love, and more.
