Country Artist Jillian Cardarelli Releases "I'll Get Over You" feat. Vince Gill

Jillian Cardarelli  Releases New Single “I’ll Get Over You” featuring Vince Gill






























NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- September 27, 2024- Country artist and songwriter Jillian Cardarelli released her new single “I’ll Get Over You” featuring Vince Gill, available now on all streaming platforms. 

The single, written by Cardarelli, Patrick Murphy and Tina Parol, was produced by Daniel Dennis.

Known for her thoughtful songwriting and stunning vocals, Cardarelli cleverly weaves a familiar storyline about the difficulty of getting over someone that can feel impossible after a heartbreak. The single uniquely blends traditional country nostalgia with a tender, contemporary melody, so it’s no wonder country legend Vince Gill agreed to lend his vocal stylings to the track.  

"When the sun sets in the East, and goes around the moon,
When the world don’t turn, and the summer sky ain’t blue, 
When the stars don’t glow and Hell’s ice cold and Dolly’s out of tune, 
That’s when I’ll get over you."

"We've all known that feeling when your heart is hurting and you're trying desperately to get over someone, but there's no end in sight,” said Jillian Cardarelli. “We wanted to intertwine the irony and satire of those feelings within the lyrics -- knowing these things will never actually happen and that's how your heart feels when you're going through it. It was a true honour to have Vince lend his amazing voice to the song, which makes it that much more special." 

This is Cardarelli’s ninth release in 2024 among an exciting year of musical and television projects. Her single "Waiting on the Sunrise" aired on the popular Fox TV series Farmer Wants a Wife (March) and she was the celebrity guest host for PBR and Tunnel to Towers Foundation's Never Forget Concert, a national television special featuring Jelly Roll. Cardarelli was also a special guest performer for Elvis Week at Graceland, as Elvis fans connected with her popular single “If I Could Talk to Elvis” featuring Larry Strickland, Elvis Presley’s background vocalist from The Stamps Quartet.

This release is certain to be among her fan favorites like “Thinking and Driving,” “If We Were Strangers,” “Can’t Help Falling in Love With You, ”Worth The Whiskey,” “Slow Song,” and “I Hate Chevys” that all garnered support from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Pandora and Spotify this year.

The official music video for "I'll Get Over You" began airing on CMT as well as her Official YouTube Channel on Oct. 2.

Reflecting on the song, Flores shared, “The story behind this song is just me having to take a mental break back in February and coming back to it all realizing that I need to take care of myself before I can even think about taking care of others, and that’s all I ever wanted to do. So I did have to take a step back and this song is an apology from me to my fans.”

Ahead of the album release, Flores also shared its lead single, “Don’t Wanna Say Goodnight”, which Rolling Stone calls “a powerful, energetic love song,” while Billboard praises, “a sturdy songwriter and vocalist in equal measure. His latest pulses with the raw energy of a full-band sound, thrashing percussion and churning guitars.”

Of the project, Flores reflects, “It’s an album about home and a search for happiness. It’s an album about Stillwater, Oklahoma, and all the other little towns that have raised people like you and me. It’s an album about my family, and the people and places in my life who have defined who I am today. This album is happy on one side and heartbreak on the other, and whoever you are, I hope you find something you love in here.”

Ashley Monroe Releases New Song “There You Are”

ASHLEY MONROE RELEASES NEW SONG “THERE YOU ARE”
Watch The Official Performance Video






























NASHVILLE, TN.(25th September, 2024) – Today, Ashley Monroe releases “There You Are”, a contemplative piano ballad that showcases Monroe’s ethereal vocals that have recently hushed theaters across the UK on her recent tour with Little Big Town and during her showcase over the weekend at AmericanaFest. The song was written by Jessi Alexander, Margaret Findley, and Sally Barris, who Monroe worked with on some of her most well-known songs such as “Weed Instead of Roses”.

Listen to “There You Are” here (Preferred music platform)

Watch the official performance video:

“Sally Barris was one of the first people I wrote with in Nashville" says Monroe. "She co-wrote ‘Satisfied', ‘Used’, ‘Weed Instead of Roses’ and a slew of other songs I’ve recorded through the years. Sally taught me new chords, helped my mom and I look for a place to live when we moved from Knoxville, and truly helped shape the way I write. One day in 2004, she played me a song she had written with Jessi Alexander and Margaret Findley called ‘There You Are', and it absolutely slayed me. I’ve played it and sang it just about every time I’ve sat at a piano since 2004, and I feel it just as deep today as I did back then."

"I sat down at the antique piano in Gena Johnson's studio and started playing it one day, and she said, ‘I have to capture this!’ I’m so thankful she did. This song still moves me to my core, and I am so proud and honored to share its power with the world.”

“There You Are” follows the release of “Hot Rod Pipe Dream”, which was co-written with her longtime collaborator Brendan Benson and co-produced by Monroe and GRAMMY-winner Gena Johnson. The official video for the song debuted with CMT on a billboard in Times Square

Over the last year, Monroe has been releasing new music, played her first Nashville headline show since 2015, and hit the road for a UK tour with Little Big Town.

She has recently released a cover of Fred Eaglesmith’s “I Like Trains”, “Risen Road”, and her late 2023 single “Over Everything” which Billboard called “Airy, understated and clear-eyed, the song is lifted by the quiet assuredness in Monroe’s vocal.” Monroe’s recent work has been met with praise by American Songwriter, CMT, Stereogum, and People Magazine, who interviewed Monroe about her musical “fresh start.”

Her critically-acclaimed 2021 album Rosegold received praise from Rolling Stone, The Nashville Scene, No Depression, Vulture, Paste Magazine, Garden & Gun, Stereogum, Pitchfork and many more.

In their 2021 Best Albums of the Year coverage Vulture proclaimed, “Monroe continues to refine her talents as a writer and a vocalist while expanding her artistic palette in a batch of songs that slides from synth-pop to spectral, psychedelic R&B to gothic pop to lush, orchestral balladry to muted country rock.”

Ashley Anne unveils new single “call me when you land”

SINGER-SONGWRITER ASHLEY ANNE UNVEILS 
NEW SINGLE “CALL ME WHEN YOU LAND”
Featured on Spotify's All New Country & Amazon's Breakthrough Country

Photo Credit: Hannah Ladd Brown 































NASHVILLE, Tenn. (October 7th, 2024) - Breakthrough singer-songwriter Ashley Anne has just released her highly anticipated single, "call me when you land," available on all streaming platforms now. 

This track marks another deeply personal release from Anne's forthcoming sophomore EP, set to drop this year. Produced by Ryan Youmans and written along with Axel Diehl, Brandon Ashley, and Anne herself, the song brings her signature storytelling style to the forefront.

STREAM “CALL ME WHEN YOU LAND” HERE (On your preferred music platform) or below:

"The new single, “call me when you land” is a song about expecting the worst when things are good. The actual term is usually used between people who care about each other. I turned it into the concept of “call me when it's over for you”. Basically saying let me know when you're out of love, because I am ~expecting~ it. Sometimes when things are so high we wait on their downfall. We self sabotage and can't just accept that we deserve good things. This song amplifies the fear of losing what's been good to you,” shares Ashley 

As a natural storyteller, the Artist You Need To Watch (Holler) draws inspiration from her life experiences, crafting songs that reflect what she has seen and lived. Her heartfelt lyrics and relatable narratives aim to connect with listeners profoundly, making them feel understood and valued. Throughout the past year, Ashley has received press mentions in BillboardSweety HighWide Open Country, and several other publications.

After three studio albums Sarah dropped her Christmas album ‘WINTER WONDERLAND’ on November 17, 2017



The excellent 13 track WONDERLAND was officially released on June 7, 2019. EF COUNTRY wrote: Overall, with Wonderland Sarah Darling has delivered another strong album of country-pop songs which also shows her being unafraid to branch out and experiment. It still retains all the hallmarks that made UK audiences fall in love with her, namely vivid lyrics, lush dreamy melodies and sweet vocals, but with some interesting touches that stop it from being too same. The whole record has a great summery feel about, especially on long drives – it feels like it was made for the open road – and I think it will appeal to fans old and new, with plenty of potential for where she might go next.
Sarah commented: Making ‘Wonderland’ has been one of the greatest musical adventures I’ve ever had in my life. Every song is so incredibly special to me and tells my story. It imprints this very special time in my life, when I got to create a country album in the UK. Describing ‘Wonderland’ as “a transformative time in her life, one that has allowed her to experiment in new sonic territories. “The whole concept of my ‘Wonderland’ album was to explore a brand new world artistically.  Because of my connection to the U.K., I thought ‘what better place to bring my Nashville roots to be creative’. I think it’s good as an artist to stretch the boundaries, because you are always growing and that’s how you find new magic and move forward to wonderful, new places.”

In November 2019 Sarah’s single “Divide As” premiered on BBC Radio 2’s Bob Harris show featuring guest vocals from UK country duo Ward Thomas.
 
On 10 July 10, 2020, she dropped a 6 pack EP WIDE OPEN SPACES (THE CAMPFIRE SESSIONS) Speaking to musicandtournews about the project as a whole, Sarah Darling stated: “The name “Campfire Sessions” evokes a visual of sitting around a fire playing these to my friends. It brings me back to my childhood when I started with just a guitar, playing my tunes for anyone who would listen! These are acoustic covers of some of my favorite songs that hold special meaning to me or have influenced me at a time in my life. Most will have been hit songs when they were first released, although maybe not so well known now, so I’m really excited to be introducing them to my fans, done in my own way!”
 
Having not released a full-length project post-pandemic, Sarah returned with the “stunning” nostalgic themed 10-track album CANYON on Oct 4, 2024. Singles “Red Mustang, “Silver Linings” (arguably Sarah Darling’s most impressive release to date) and “Pink Skies” were released in advance.
