“Every Little Thing” on the Cusp of Top 15 at Country Radio
Fans & Critics Nationwide Embrace Her Textured Vocals
NASHVILLE, TN – With her infectious smile and girl-next-door charm, some may be surprised that CARLY PEARCE doesn’t always exude saccharine-infused sentiment. The Kentucky native has constantly challenged perception: cheerleader who convinced her parents to quit conventional high school at 16 for a job performing at Dollywood, taking on jobs from nannying to cleaning Airbnbs after losing her first record deal and stepping back from the lead mic to sing backup for Pretty Little Liars alum Lucy Hale. RARE COUNTRY concludes, “She plays the sort of country music that her idols such as Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill and Sara Evans launched their careers with, and refuses to play the game where she pretends to be someone other than herself in order to succeed in this often soul-crushing industry. And it’s working.” Her achingly raw ballad “Every Little Thing” finds Carly once again pushing boundaries as only one of two females in the Top 20 at Country radio, perched at No.16 ahead of Maren Morris (No.19), and continuously selling over 10,000 downloads each week.
