NASHVILLE, Tenn. (January 25, 2017) – The hot, new, dynamic sister duo, Presley & Taylor released their new single, titled “This Phone” (Mercy Music City),* to country radio early this week (January 23, 2017).

The teenagers’ fifth career single, and the lead single from the pair’s highly-anticipated sophomore CD (expected in Spring 2017/Mercy Music City, LLC), “This Phone” is poised to lay the tracks for the fast-moving train destined to transport the gals’ “arrival” as career recording artists here to stay.

A Presley & Taylor original, "This Phone" represents a desperate connection and a constant reminder of heartbreak. Illuminated by traditional trickling keys, whining pedal steel and crying fiddle, the contemporary storyline dials into a Millennial relationship "on hold" and a sentiment today's younger generation will be attuned. 

Written and produced by Presley & Taylor, the modern, up-to-the-minute, breakup ballad was recorded in Nashville and made its global, on-air debut on WSM-AM’s “Coffee, Country & Cody.” “Our accessibility and ability to communicate in today’s digital age is, without question, a modern-day convenience; and I’ll be the first to admit that it’s almost addictive. But, the convenience can feel like a ‘ball and chain,’ and it also makes it way too easy to be flippant or cavalier—especially when it comes to relationships,” said Presley. “We all have the tendency to communicate today via text (or not), and the digital platforms make our lives and activity an open book (in as much as we allow).

One of my favourites of the evening, they've got a great sound, They are just the right combination, they have the traditional sound to them but they are also very modern and contemporary…a really good country song...I really want them to do well, two really nice sisters, really love that song" – Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire (Jan 21, 2017)

This can become a spellbinding drama that puts relationships in the forefront or a terrifying silent alarm. That’s what we wanted to convey honestly and realistically in ‘This Phone’,” Taylor added. The duo's first two singles (”Looking For A Cowboy”/”Kickin’ Back”) achieved Top 40 chart status and their third single (titled “While You Were Gone”) ranked at No. 30 on the national MusicRow Country Breakout Chart.

Keeping the upward momentum, their most recent single (“My Home Town”) topped out at #25. Presley & Taylor will participate in Country Radio Seminar (CRS-2017) in their second consecutive year and are scheduled to perform LIVE at the "Fresh On The Row" Show, Wednesday, February 22, 2017 at The Listening Room Café (immediately following the Music Row Meet & Greet industry event—2:30PM). “This Phone” will be available via all major digital and streaming outlets. (Amazon/iTunes/Pandora/Spotify); Ed Gertler (Digital Delivery Services) will spearhead the digital campaign. Al Brock, Lynne Connolly and Jan Woods will team to lead the radio promotion campaign.

Currently available on US iTunes released Jan 24, 2017.
