Early Praise For “Anyone Else” Prompts Label Push; Video Debut Slated
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Acclaimed Show Dog Nashville recording artist Krystal Keith and smash songwriter/label mate Lance Carpenter thought they’d captured some magic when they recorded the duet “Anyone Else.” After multiple media outlets raved and fans lit up social media in response to the track’s release, Show Dog agreed and will release the song to country radio in the coming weeks.
Lauded as “addictive” and “incredibly catchy” (Rare Country) and deemed “a well-crafted and beautifully sung country love song” (The Oklahoman), “Anyone Else” is about to be the subject of a full radio campaign. Keith and Carpenter will begin visiting radio later this month, rolling straight through to Country Radio Seminar in early February. Before then, they also made time for giving back to the kids at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital during the Country Cares gathering this weekend.
Carpenter, recently hailed as one of Huffpo‘s Top 10 New Country Artists, found the song and brought it to Keith, whose Show Dog debut was praised for its stylistic and vocal breadth. “I had been writing with Krystal and asked her if she’d put a vocal on it so I could see what it sounded like as a duet. Her folks flipped out over it. I loved it.”
“Our jaws hit the floor,” Keith says of listening back to the recording. “We knew we had something special.” Written by Kelly Archer, Greg Bates and Emily Shackleton, “Anyone Else” will have its video debut on CMT on January 23.
After a hiatus in which she welcomed her first child, Krystal Keith is currently wrapping production on an EP set for release in 2018 that reveals an expanded creative circle and sharper focus as a singer and songwriter. Lance Carpenter, who co-wrote Kelsea Ballerini’s No. 1 “Love Me Like You Mean It,” signed a recording contract with Show Dog Nashville late last year and will have his debut project out in 2018.
