CMA CLOSEUP - NEW ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: LUCY HALE

Growing up in Memphis, Tennessee, Hale adored Faith Hill and Shania Twain, performed two Martina McBride songs during a talent competition at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Hurricane Mills and ultimately left for Los Angeles to seek success as a singer.

But fate had something else in store for her. Hale was just 13 when she won the Fox Network’s “American Juniors” singing competition; her exposure opened the door toward appearances on multiple TV shows and a regular role as Aria on ABC Family’s “Pretty Little Liars.”

Maybe if she’d gone to Nashville instead, she wouldn’t have wound up a TV celebrity first. But as her debut album demonstrates, it was only a matter of time before she found her way back onto the musical track. Released on June 3 by the DMG Nashville/Bigger Picture Group, produced by Mark Bright and Mike Daly, Road Between captures Hale’s ability to coax listeners into the lyric with a buoyant, upbeat delivery.

Just check out her first single, “You Sound Good to Me.” Written by Ashley Gorley, Luke Laird and Hillary Lindsey, set to a sassy groove, the snap of the snare backbeat sweetened by fiddle and slide guitar, it flows easily over just the I and IV chords. But the dimension comes from Hale’s vocals — fluid and a little teasing on the verses, locked tight to the harmony on the irresistible, sing-along choruses. She’s a winner … and, for Country lovers, worth the wait.
