“Syrupy pedal steel pairs with Carpenter’s rich timbre
and soaring high notes on ‘Cry Baby.'” – The Boot
Up and coming Nashville-based country singer Candi Carpenter shows off her powerful voice in her debut music video for her new song, “Cry Baby”, which premiered Tuesday (2/13) on The Boot. “Cry Baby” was inspired by the artist’s first few months in Nashville; she moved to Music City at the age of 15.
“I had the opportunity to perform with other icons like Loretta Lynn, Little Jimmy Dickens, Porter Wagoner and Jean Shepard. Patsy Cline is one of my biggest influences, and “Cry Baby” pays homage not only to her, but also to my traditional country background.”
In addition to the “Cry Baby” music video, Carpenter wants fans to send in videos of them lip-syncing the song for a lyric video, to be released this spring. Those interested can e-mail submissions to TeamCandiLand@gmail.com, with a note stating that Carpenter can use the clip. Fans are also encouraged to share their videos on social media.
