CAROLYNNE to release new EP
'COMING BACK TO ME' on 7th April 2017
Yorkshire-based country singer-songwriter Carolynne has confirmed the release of
her debut solo EP 'Coming Back To Me', out on 7th April 2017. Having performed
at festivals and venues across the UK, enjoyed extensive radio play and
national press coverage, and been the first country artist to take to the X
Factor stage, this release of brand new songs follows her previous singles 'Take
the Keys' and 'I Love You But Shut Up'.
ABOUT CAROLYNNE:
For country singer-songwriter Carolynne, music has
always been a priority. Though she's now had over 6.5m views on Youtube to date
and has been featured extensively on national radio, print and television
across the UK, her story starts at the age of just fourteen, when her family of
“country music fanatics” inspired her to hit the road joining five-piece
Country band 'Sundown'. After several years of touring the UK, at eighteen she
left her family home in Yorkshire, heading for London to pursue her career in
music, before long signing a contract with BMG and starting to work as a
published songwriter. The next couple of years took her abroad to Sweden, where
she spent time writing for other pop artists while developing her own
songwriting style & sound, a blend of country, rock and pop. As well as
collaborating with some great songwriters she continued to work as a touring
performer across the U.K.
This allowed Carolynne to hone and develop her unique style of performance, which would eventually catch the eyes and ears of X Factor judge Gary Barlow when she later appeared on the show as a finalist. Gary described Carolynne as “supremely talented” with a voice that “just oozes Country”. With the X Factor propelling her into the public eye in front of millions of viewers & being the first UK contestant to bring Country music to the X Factor stage, Carolynne’s next move was unexpected for someone in her position; knowing she wanted to fulfil her dream as a songwriter, she headed to the heart of country music and the home of many of her influences - Nashville, Tennessee.
During her five months spent travelling across the
USA, from Nashville to Arizona and L.A., she performed at every opportunity,
and had the chance to work with, among others, Grammy award-winning songwriter
Jeff Silbar (Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson), who as well as penning
songs for the country elite in Music City also wrote the award-winning hit
‘Wind Beneath My Wings’ .
Carolynne's debut single 'I Love You But Shut Up'
was released in 2015, attracting strong support from the mainstream and country
media - including a slot on the BBC
Radio 2 playlist and a live acoustic session on Terry Wogan’s Sunday show; national TV
appearances including
Channel 5's The Wright Stuff - and publicity across high-profile press and
magazines such as Maverick, Country Music Magazine and The Independent, Since
then, Carolynne has taken time away from the spotlight to work on new material,
an EP written and produced with long-time collaborators The Elements and mixed
by Ash Howes (One Direction, Ellie Goulding, The Corrs).
She’s continued to perform live in between writing
and recording, including, to much acclaim, an appearance at London’s Country to Country (C2C) 2016 festival
at the O2 arena for the third consecutive year, and a two-night residency at
London’s Live at Zedel, prompting Jennifer Selway at the Daily Express to
describe her songs about heartbreak and desire as having “true country style”.
Thanks to the attention she draws at her energetic
live shows and extensive media coverage, Carolynne's music has been heard by
country fans all over the UK and beyond, building up a combined social media
following of over 133k followers in the process, so it’s safe to say fans are
eagerly awaiting her next move. As she told Country Music Magazine, who
highlighted her as a ‘Shooting Star’ artist early in 2017, the title of her
brand new debut EP ‘Coming Back To Me’ is “about coming back to music, because
I’ve lost my way with music at points in my life, I’ve fallen in and out of
love with it but it always finds its way back to me…”
Carolynne's ‘Coming
Back To Me’ EP is released worldwide on 7th April 2017, and will be available to pre-order on March 3rd.
