HEARTLAND RELEASES TIMELY SINGLE OF HOPE AND UNITY - "WHAT HAPPENED?"

As the country and the entire world witness the election results unfold, they're pondering 'what happened' with such a seismic shift in American politics and global events. It's exactly what multiplatinum group Heartland sing about in “What Happened?”, their timely new single available everywhere now. 

Inspired by the conversations they're having as friends, family and neighbors, Heartland core members Craig Anderson, Todd Anderson, Mike Myerson felt called to write "What Happened?," which was produced by Craig and Jimmy Ritchie.

The video, directed by Justin Mayotte, features footage from Heartland recording "What Happened?" in Nashville and the tough realities we see on the news every day. 

Showcasing clips from different locations across the United States, the various scenarios in the video reflect both the unity and turmoil the country has experienced over the last few years. 

"We are living in such challenging times right now. We have made it through worse, and we will make it through this as well, but we have to come together. We have to unite as a people. We wanted to write a song that could somehow play a role in uniting folks and to get away from the current climate of division. As the song says, 'United we stand… Divided we'll fall… We'll meet our fate together after all.' I can't say it any better than that, and our prayer is that people will somehow find meaning and purpose within the lyrics of 'What Happened?,'" shared Todd. 

Heartland made its return last year with new lead vocalist Lance Horton. Following the release of the ACM and CMA nominated group's first single in over a decade, "No Tomorrow," Heartland also celebrated RIAA platinum, gold and streaming certifications for its No. 1 hit “I Loved Her First."

REVIEW: "GOD CAN USE A BROKEN MAN" - JASON CRABB, TRACE ADKINS AND ZACH WILLIAMS

Song: "God Can Use A Broken Man"

Artists: Jason Crabb, Trace Adkins and Zach Williams

Label: Red Street Records

Writers: Zach Williams, Ed Cash and  Jonathan Smith

Release Date: 8/30/2024

"God Can Use a Broken Man" is more than a song, it's a promise of hope and a personal testament of the way God can take what's broken in every one of us and put out pieces back together for a bigger good. This message is one that is needed more than ever with so many of us feeling like we are irreparable due to the many ways that this life can tear us down. These 3 men will tell you from their own experiences through this song that we are never irreparably broken. Each of them sing it with a personal strength, deep conviction and you can almost see the reflection in their eyes of the memories of that places they were once in. This song hits and hits hard, especially if you've lost hope and you're wondering how you're ever going to pull yourself out of the dark place you might be in. 

Listen to the message in this song and let it be the hand you need to help write your own story of redemption. 

"God uses broken things, broken souls to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, broken bread to give strength and broken people to do great things." 

- Unknown

God does use broken people everyday to do things bigger than themselves, things that are more important than they might ever realize and lives are changed every day because of someone who's been there, someone who never thought their lives would get back on track. We encounter these people every day, just take the time to pay attention and look beyond the obvious. Let God take your broken pieces and rearrange them into the person you were created to be. He can and will do it.

"God Can Use a Broken Man" is available on digital outlets everywhere now.

NATE BARNES’ NEW SUMMERTIME ANTHEM, “LOVE IN THE COUNTRY,” OUT NOW

New Song Written by Ryan Hurd, Jordan Schmidt, Ernest Smith 
and Geoffrey Warburton

"Love in the Country" Marks First Release From Debut Album


Quartz Hill Records artist Nate Barnes returns with his latest, the summertime anthem, “Love in the Country,” available across all streaming and digital retail partners now.

Stream / Buy “Love in the Country” HERE.

The breezy, come-on to a lover to spend the night together outdoors beneath the stars was written by country powerhouses Ryan Hurd, Jordan Schmidt, Ernest Smith and Geoffrey Warburton. “Love in the Country,” boasts toe-tappin’ lyrics and stunning visuals paired with an undeniable hook of summer love. It’s an irresistible jam with a back-porch groove.

"Hey baby do you hear that song
All the crickets and the bullfrogs singing along
Tween the wind in the trees and the birds and the bees
Sounds so sweet making love in the country"

“‘Love in the Country’ reminds me of young love. Growing up in small town Michigan, there wasn’t much to do but take your date to the movies, hang out at late night bonfires or sit on the back of your truck bed and talk all night. And sometimes you just want to get out in the country to spend a little time together one-on-one,” says Barnes.

Produced by Derek George (Randy Houser) and Ilya Toshinkskiy (Jelly Roll), “Love in the Country” possesses a chorus that makes the listener want to clap their hands and get up and dance while the bridge mirrors a summer romance between young lovers without a care in the world.

“Love in the Country” is the first song from Barnes’ upcoming debut album, slated for release in early 2025.

RISING SINGER/SONGWRITER CONNOR DALY RELEASES NEW SINGLE "AIN'T GOT A CAPE"

 


Connor Daly, the rising singer-songwriter known for his evocative lyrics and tender vocals, has just released his latest single, “Ain’t Got A Cape.” The song, written by Daly, produced by William Gawley, and engineered and mixed by Bryce Roberts, is now available on all major streaming platforms here. The track was recorded at The Castle Studio, Dark Horse, and Omni Sound Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. (Drums/Wayne Killius)(Bass/Dave Francis and Dave Spicher)(Acoustic Guitars/Pat McGrath, David Flint and Connor Daly)(Electric Guitar/David Flint and Mike Durham)(Mandolin/David Flint and Deanie Richardson)(Fiddle/Deanie Richardson)(Piano/Keys/Chris Nole)(Background Vocals/Wendy Newcomer)(Mastered by Mike Monseur with Axis Audi)

Filmed in cooperation with the Ashland City Police and Fire Department, the official music video for “Ain’t Got A Cape,” adds a visual narrative to the heartfelt ballad and was produced by Charlotte Avenue Entertainment. 

"Ain’t Got a Cape" is a song about love, loss, and the painful acknowledgment of one's limitations in the face of another's struggles. In "Ain’t Got a Cape," Daly captures the crispness of Fall and the bittersweet memories of a past love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of changing seasons, both in nature and in the heart. The narrator reflects on a relationship where their partner needed saving, but they couldn’t be the hero to prevent the fall. The imagery of leaves falling from trees symbolizes the inevitable end of something beautiful yet fragile. The chorus poignantly realizes that, despite the longing to be a savior, some battles are too heavy to carry alone. The song's melancholy tone is woven through memories of shared moments by the old rail tracks, where love once thrived but now lingers like a ghost in the cold air.

Raised in Northern Virginia, Daly grew up playing sports and music. He was the Virginia High School (5A) state champion in discus, earning a spot on the track and field team at George Mason University, where he competed throughout college. Alongside his athletic pursuits, he played classical guitar, developing a cascading fingerpicking style that shines through in his songs today. After his first year in college, Daly turned to songwriting more fully, and in 2019 recorded some demos and fell in love with “the process of bringing my own songs to life.”

Now at 25, with more than 100 songs in his catalog, he continues to develop his craft. Daly released multiple singles throughout 2023 and has performed regularly in local venues near his home in Fairfax and at songwriter rounds in Nashville. With musical influences including Jason Isbell, Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers, and Ed Sheeran, Daly has cultivated a knack for delivering his songs with emotional resonance.

This summer, Daly will release his debut album, Colors Fade, featuring acoustic-driven arrangements with poetic stories that cross the full spectrum of human experience.

COLIN STOUGH CAN'T GET AN EX OFF HIS MIND IN THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR "MAKES TWO OF US"


“The music video for ‘Makes Two of Us’ is about how your mind keeps wandering to your ex after a breakup. So, in the clip, you see these two characters living their daily lives while constant flashes of memories between them keep happening,” shares Stough. “It shows how often you’re just doing whatever, yet you find yourself completely lost in thought – thinking about the other person. It starts happening so often that you get to a point where you’re just kind of like, ‘Well, if I can’t get ‘em off my mind, what could it hurt to just go there again?’”

Directed by David Dutton with DP Alan Fisher, the Mississippi native stepped back into a real-life job he had during high school as a welder for the footage shot at Glenn Machine Works in Columbus, MS. The strong visuals add to the explosive temptation of the on-again-off-again romance as depicted in the roller-coaster lyrics penned by Stough with Alex Maxwell and Cole Taylor. Intrusive thoughts capture a conflicted heart caught in a feedback loop of heartbreak and loneliness, and about to give in just one more time.

Showcasing a complex artist-writer who continues to hone his lyrical craftsmanship, the pitch-black production from Maxwell further helps put the growing urge in sonic terms – while also eclipsing the power of Stough’s Promiseland EP debut. With a heavy-handed Rock foundation, distorted guitars thunder alongside pounding drums and streaks of steel guitar lightning, but Stough weaves in tender moments to explore the emotional conflict as well – all while his volcanic Southern vocal fights confusing signals. On the one hand, he should resist what’s surely the start of another toxic cycle. But on the other, the craving for connection is real, and, hopefully, coming from both sides. Listen here.

With more new music promised soon, Stough’s stacking music festival appearances this summer like CMA Fest 2024 on June 8 on the Hard Rock Stage in Nashville, TN. The same day, the Season 21 finalist on American Idol will also join a program at Fan Fair X inside Music City Center on the CMA Close Up Stage for “Idol Hour with Chayce Beckham, HunterGirl, Colin Stough and ‘American Idol’ ‘24 Winner and Runner-Up.” Find additional details here.

DAVID NAIL RELEASES EMOTIONAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR "IF I COULD CALL," HONORING LEGACY AND FATHERHOOD

 

Today, country music artist David Nail unveiled a new music video for his latest single, "If I Could Call." This heartfelt song draws from Nail's personal experiences, particularly his close relationship with his late grandfather, whose profound influence continues to shape Nail's perspective on life and parenting as a father of three. The video showcases Nail engaging in one of his favorite pastimes, baseball, with his son, Lawson, who is also referenced in the song. Through Nail's emotive vocals and sincere storytelling, the performance resonates deeply, offering solace to those who have experienced loss and longing. Listen here: https://ffm.to/couldcall

“The best part about this video and the thing that I'm most proud of is the fact that my son was in it. I feel like it's so important to have these moments to be able to look back on. I feel like the kids are right at that age where they kind of realize what daddy has done for a living and what he continues to do. So just to be able to have that memory is super special to me and I'm just very thankful that not only was he in it, but that he cooperated and did what the directors asked.” Nail said.

If I could call
Like I used to
If you were only just a phone call away
Yea I would call
Just to hear you
You always had a way of making everything okay
I wouldn’t be here wide awake
If I could call



David stopped by RFD-TV this morning to chat with Suzanne Alexander and delves into the intricacies of the songwriting process, recounts the moment his wife Cat met his grandfather for the first time and discusses the sentimental decision to name his son after him. Watch here: https://youtu.be/

ALLIE COLLEEN PREMIERES DEBUT OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “WHILE WE’RE STILL FRIENDS” FEAT. LEE BRICE

The official support video for “While We’re Still Friends” feat. Lee Brice by Allie Colleen premiered yesterday on Stryk TV and Country Rebel social media platforms. The video is being added in rotation on Music Choice and CMT Music (CMT’s 24-hour channel) and should start spinning the week of March 3rd.

Produced by Logen Christopher at Stormlight Pictures in Nashville, TN, the video beautifully portrays the emotional journey of a relationship coming to an end and the delicate process of moving forward with grace.

“I cannot even begin to share the excitement of sharing this video with everyone. The support on this song has been amazing and I am honored and humbled by everyone’s kindness on the song's message,” expressed Allie Colleen.

"Allie Colleen brings an exciting sound and energy to music lovers as she comes from an iconic country music lineage with a strong tradition of bridging genres. As a host on SiriusXM Classic Rewind and StrykTV, I can attest that while her roots may be in country, her music resonates across genres and generations.” shared Dean Baldwin, SiriusXM, StrykTV, FM2.0.

With a reputation as a notable songwriter with an iconic-sounding, impeccably strong voice, Allie Colleen released “While We’re Still Friends” featuring Lee Brice as her first release of the new year on February 17, amassing more than 100K organic Spotify streams in the first 4 days. The raw emotion-filled song lyrics, brimming with honesty and sincerity, were collaboratively penned by Allie Colleen, Sara Brice, and Lee Brice.

“While We’re Still Friends” is available on all digital music platforms HERE.


Allie Colleen shared, “For me as a writer, this song was written looking at my marriage and the beautiful season about to end. I hope the listeners find comfort in knowing the absolute bravery required to make the best decisions for themselves and for the best of both partners. I hope this song creates a safe space to feel and reflect.”

“As a songwriter, sometimes I find it hard to understand when writing about myself or creating a narrative using other characters. This song was a ‘punch in the gut’ reality check for me. What started as a co-writer’s idea turned into years of unspoken anxiety and repressed honesty about the relationship I had found myself in. This song in its own way shattered my world and in another way saved my life.”

"Simply said…Allie was made for this. She is authentic to her core regardless of circumstance and in this world we live in right now, that is a tough thing to do and a refreshing quality to find. When Allie, Sara and I first sat down to write this song, I immediately saw that Allie takes on the good, the bad and the ugly in her songwriting. It’s never an easy thing to put your personal life into a song the world will hear and I applaud Allie for challenging herself to go there so honestly,” shared co-producer Lee Brice. “The way she plays, her effortless singing, her God-given ability to connect with people - this song has it all. It is an arrow through the heart and Allie delivers it exactly how it’s supposed to be and only how she could. I am truly honored to be a small part of such a big talent."

Jerrod Nieman added, “I love everything about Allie as a friend and just a great person. It all reflects in her music well beyond her years. She makes music straight from the soul. Working with her and Lee Brice in the studio was truly one of my most memorable moments in Nashville. We had such an amazing experience helping her bring her vision to life and to her fans. I am in her corner and cannot wait to hear all her great music to come.”

Production was a collaboration by Jerrod Niemann, Lee Brice and Allie Colleen with mixing by Cody LaBelle, Evan Hutchings (Drums), Mark Hill (Bass), Rob McNelley (Electric Guitar), Lee Brice (Acoustic Guitar), Mike Rojas (Keys) and Charlie Judge (Strings). George Town Masters provided mastering.

Pryor Baird Makes An Emotional Grand Ole Opry Debut Earning A Standing Ovation

Baird Offered A Release Day Performance Of His Brand-New Track
"Mighta Met A Girl" (1/26)

The Musical Triple Threat Commemorated the Unforgettable Evening in the Opry's Circle Room During An After-Performance Reception


Dynamic songwriter, guitarist, and Black River recording artist Pryor Baird stepped into the legendary Grand Ole Opry circle for the very first time during his Opry debut this past Friday night (Jan. 26). Baird marked the release of his brand-new track, "Mighta Met A Girl" and its accompanying lyric video by offering a release day performance of the powerful third offering from the soulful rising country artist. After stepping off the coveted stage, Baird was joined by his family, friends, and team in the Opry's Circle Room for an intimate post-debut celebration.

WSM's Kelly Sutton, the host for the evening, introduced an eager Baird to the Opry stage as he began his debut set with a performance of his (1/26) release, " Mighta Met A Girl" via Black River. Co-written by Baird with Chris Gelbuda and David Tolliver, "Mighta Met A Girl" is produced by Doug Johnson. The feel-good tune brings listeners along on Baird's lighthearted journey during a night out with friends that begins like any other, but ends anything but — leaving him lovestruck and hopeful that he "mighta met a girl last night."

After the rush of stepping into the circle and performing his uptempo love story, Baird thanked and acknowledged our US Military, first responders, teachers, and survivors.

Getting even more personal with the supportive Opry crowd, Baird touched on how in life, everyone is faced with hardships and loss. However in overcoming those times, one can find beauty. He then dedicated his next performance to his father, who recently passed unexpectedly, saying, "This one's for you, Dad." With the help of the legendary Opry band's Randy Hart on keys, Baird belted out his emotional unreleased ballad, "Beauty In The Broken."

Although the track has not yet been released, it was the perfect song for Baird to honor one of the most influential people in his life, his father, who helped shape Baird into the artist and person he is today.

Following the emotional performance, Baird was treated to a rare standing ovation and joined host Kelly Sutton for an interview at the podium. In a moment of celebration and reverence, Sutton shared that she was sure his father was indeed looking down on this incredible night. "I think he was here tonight and I hope he had a good time," Baird replied. "He's definitely ready to have a cold beer after this - at least two or three."

Riding the high of reaching the career milestone after dreaming about this day for nearly his whole life, Baird's family, friends, and music industry alike gathered for an intimate after-party to mark the occasion. Hosted by Baird's record label and publishing home, Black River, along with his management team, Starstruck Entertainment, the evening included remarks from Baird and a commemorative cake donning the image of a five-year-old Baird with his first guitar, as well as the Grand Ole Opry stage.

"I want to say thank you to every single person that has ever reached into what I'm doing and said, 'We believe in it. We want to be a part of it.' That just speaks volumes, and I'm so thankful," shared Baird during the reception, surrounded by his closest supporters. "I truly have the greatest team, family, and fans - thank you so much for letting this be a reality. Work hard, and dream big."


Since the track's release, " Mighta Met A Girl" has secured spots on top playlists including Apple Music's New In Country; Spotify's New Music Friday Country; Amazon Music's Breakthrough Country; PANDORA’s Top Country Hits; and Vevo's New Music Friday.

"With an ultra-relatable lyric and memorably catchy melody that masterfully smashes into his gifted know-how of keeping his signature flares well intact, Pryor Baird continues to showcase the unique definitions of who he is as a songwriter and artist..." 
- Jeffrey Kurtis

ANA CRISTINA CASH UNVEILS HEARTFELT NEW SINGLE "WINTER" IN COLLABORATION WITH CAITLIN EVANSON



Pre-save "Winter" here 

Singer-songwriter Ana Cristina Cash is thrilled to announce the release of her latest song, "Winter." This emotionally charged track is a captivating duet with fellow artist Caitlin Evanson and holds profound significance for both performers. Originally penned by renowned songwriter Tori Amos, Cash and Evanson have infused their unique essence into the song.

"Winter" serves as a moving meditation on the passage of time and underscores the importance of treasuring the moments shared with loved ones.

In a recent statement, Ana Cristina Cash revealed the inspiration behind the song: "Caitlin and I share a deep admiration for Tori Amos and her iconic 'Little Earthquakes' album. While in the studio one day, we decided to embark on a collaborative journey by duetting on 'Winter.' We were drawn to the song's emotional depth and its poignant reflection on the fleeting nature of time. It reminds us to cherish every moment, as things will never be the same as they once were. The song evokes imagery of a father and a daughter, from their youthful days creating memories in the snow to the future when the father is frail and aged. We recorded this song several months ago, but it took on a whole new meaning for me when my own father faced serious health complications this year. Music is a powerful means of expressing emotions, and 'Winter' is incredibly special to us."

Ana Cristina Cash's soulful vocals, complemented by Caitlin Evanson's harmonious contribution, deliver a spellbinding interpretation of this timeless composition. "Winter" stands as a heartfelt tribute to the enduring bonds of family and the inevitability of change.
 
"Winter" features an impressive lineup of musicians, including Ana Cristina Cash on vocals, Caitlin Evanson on vocals, acoustic guitar, and violin, Derrek Phillips on drums and percussion, Byron House on bass, and Matt Combs on violin, viola, and cello. The production team includes John Carter Cash, Ana Cristina Cash, Caitlin Evanson, and Trey Call, while the recording and mixing took place at The Cash Cabin in Hendersonville, TN, engineered by Trey Call with assistance from Joseph Cash. The mastering was skillfully done at True East Mastering by Alex McCollough. The accompanying music video credits include Joseph Cash as the director, Isaac Cox as the assistant camera operator, and Austin Williams as the production assistant.

DRAKE WHITE CELEBRATES HIS WIFE IN HEARTWARMING “MAKIN’ ME LOOK GOOD AGAIN (WEDDING EDITION)” VIDEO

FEATURING REAL FOOTAGE OF THE COUPLE’S WEDDING, THE TRACK AND VIDEO SHINE A LIGHT ON SUPPORTIVE PARTNERS EVERYWHERE

TOURING CONTINUES WITH BLOW UP YOUR TV TOUR THROUGHOUT 2023 AND KICKING OFF 2024 WITH THE BRIDGE TOUR


Country-Soul troubadour Drake White celebrates supportive partners everywhere in the new music video for “Makin’ Me Look Good Again (Wedding Edition),” releasing a heartwarming real-world clip today (11/3).

Basking in the glow of true love’s grace, the deeply personal video features footage from White and his wife Alex’s wedding ceremony in 2014, and finds the singer-songwriter spotlighting his own behind-the-scenes hero – a woman who has meant so much to his life, especially in recent years.

Written by White with Monty Criswell and Shane Minor, the romantic track was originally released on White’s 2016 album debut, SPARK, but has since found renewed meaning. A new, stripped-down edition was included on White’s EP, 'The Bridge' (released 10/6), and as White continues to recover from a life-altering onstage stroke suffered in 2019, he says the song’s theme has evolved.

“The original edition came out seven years ago, and since then, the inspiration for this song, my wife Alex, has certainly made me look good again,” White tells CMT. “She helped me walk again, gave birth to our child, and started her own business. She continues to be one of the finest examples of a lady and love on this beautiful planet. She loves me for me, and she loves the simplicity of this edition. This is an offering to her and all the people out there making the world look good again.”

White also spoke about the track’s new spirit with All Country News, and now, its video will help viewers lift up their own unsung better halves.

Marking the video’s official release on YouTube, White joined fans live for a Q&A, chat and more before "Makin’ Me Look Good Again (Wedding Edition)" officially premiered.

Enhancing White’s 'The Bridge' EP, the project features a total of seven songs filled with inspiration, love and conviction. Co-writing each one with a cast that includes Maren Morris, Ryan Hurd, Leslie Satcher and more, White delivers a set combining all-new tracks with reimagined versions of fan favorites, plus a collaboration with GRAMMY Award winner Colbie Caillat.

Track List for Drake White's EP 'The Bridge':

1. “50 Years Too Late (Ruff Cut)” (Leith Loftin, Drake White) ^

2. “Spirit” (Drake White, Phil Pence, Leslie Satcher) +

KAMERON MARLOWE’S “TENNESSEE DON’T MIND”: A LOVE LETTER TO LIFE ON THE ROAD

The video highlights the juxtaposition of a fast-paced, high-energy life on the road, 
with the solitude that follows returning home

Marlowe’s 13-stop headlining I Can Lie Tour continues nationwide


"Tennessee Don't Mind" - available now

Kameron Marlowe brings his “signature smoky voice”(Grammy.com) to the forefront with his new single, “Tennessee Don’t Mind,” available everywhere now. Written by Charles Kelly and Daniel Tashian, the gritty track with a wild frontier-like instrumentation takes you on a cinematic journey through Marlowe’s push and pull relationship with the place he calls home.

“To me, Tennessee in this instance really represents Music City,” admits Marlowe. “There is a give and take with chasing this dream, and the past two years have been a whirlwind. There’s a lot of ‘life’ we miss out on being on the road – something no one prepares you for. I feel the most at home on the road and sometimes that’s the scary part. The music just consumes you and sometimes it’s hard to get out of your own head."

Resonating like a woman who holds a man’s heart in her hands, the enduring pull of Tennessee remains steadfast to Marlowe, echoing a feeling often seen by artists who commit their lives to music. Nashville’s unwavering allure continues to draw him back time and time again, despite all the sacrifice and hardships that come along with chasing a career on the road as his “gravelly vocal” (Billboard) and rip-roaring fiddle lead the way.


The new single ushers in Marlowe’s next chapter of music, accompanied by a music video shot on his bus with his long-time band who all hail from his home state of North Carolina. As they head out of Nashville during the dead of night, the video highlights the complexities of life on the road and all the highs and lows that come with it. From the thrill of fans cheering your name and echoing lyrics back to you, to the video’s end as Marlowe faces the stark reality and isolating feelings that creep in when the stage lights dim.

Known to be one of the most recognizable voices in the format, Marlowe signed to Columbia Nashville/Sony Music Nashville as a result of the success of his Platinum-certified hit, “Giving You Up,” and has since garnered over 680M+ on demand streams to date. Just last month, Marlowe featured on Megan Moroney’s deluxe album with the soul-stirring duet, “Fix You Too.”

Earlier this year, Marlowe graced the stage on tour with Luke Bryan and Jordan Davis and has now embarked on his 13-stop headlining I Can Lie Tour with special guests Elvie Shane, James McNair and Matt Schuster. Tapped as an artist on the rise by Opry’s NextStage program and CMT’s Listen Up class, 2023 has proved to be a year like never before.

HUNTERGIRL RELEASES THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR “AIN’T ABOUT YOU”

HUNTERGIRL - THE FIRST FEMALE COUNTRY ARTIST IN OVER 30 YEARS TO SOLO WRITE HER DEBUT RADIO SINGLE - RELEASES THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR “AIN’T ABOUT YOU”


America’s sweetheart, vocal powerhouse, and esteemed songwriter HunterGirl today releases the official music video for her debut radio single “Ain’t About You.” Premiered yesterday (11/2) via CMT, the 19 Recordings/Wheelhouse Records artist is the first female country artist in over 30 years to write her debut radio single by herself.

“Ain’t About You” was produced by the award-winning Lindsay Rimes (Kane Brown, Kelsea Ballerini), with the video being directed by Ford Fairchild and produced by Rebecca Adler.

Speaking exclusively with CMT about the making of the video, HunterGirl shared: “I knew that I wanted it to focus on other people more than myself. I wanted to include a little girl chasing after dreams, a girl that was comparing herself to other people on social media, and a little boy who was worried about his mom. It was really important to me to include my work with veterans as well, so the Air Force veteran in the music video is a tie back to my grandfather who was in the Air Force and passed away a few years ago."

“What I hope people take away from this music video is that if you’re thinking about giving up on something, please give it a second chance because there are a ton of people who need you here,” she continued. “I think we forget sometimes how our story aligns with so many other people’s stories, because we are worried about things going on in our own lives. There are so many people who have touched my life, and if they would’ve given up on their dream, I don’t think I would be the same person I am today.”

Yesterday (11/2), HunterGirl partnered with Musicians On Call and visited Nashville’s Veteran Affair’s (VA) Hospital in honor of Veterans Day next week and in gratitude of their heroic service, performing for patients, their families and staff, which will be shared with VA hospitals across the country. Having worked with veteran organizations since her teens such as A Soldier’s Child, Operation Song and Freedom Sings, HunterGirl has helped numerous vets transform their stories into songs. "Music heals every single day," she explains. "Watching a veteran write a song for the first time, it's tough for someone to talk about things that they've experienced, but by sharing their story, music truly does heal. I feel blessed I’m able to be a part of that and give the gift of music to someone else."

Next up, HunterGirl’s original holiday track “Hurry Up Christmas” will be featured in Hallmark Channel’sChristmas Island, premiering November 11, and “Christmas Again” will be featured in Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up, premiering November 25. She will also perform at the Christmas Parade in Raleigh, North Carolina on November 18, the Christmas 4 Kids Benefit Concert at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on Monday, November 20 – a nonprofit that brings the joy of Christmas to thousands of underprivileged Middle Tennessee children - along with Phil Vasser, Chapel Hart, Shenandoah and more (purchase tickets HERE) – and the Christmas Tree Lighting in her hometown of Winchester, Tenn. on November 24.
