American Songwriter Exclusively Premieres First Listen
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lauded by Rolling Stone as “a tough-girl with vocals that swell, yell and sometimes recall the gritty badassery of Amy Winehouse,” Meghan Linsey unleashes her powerful, blues-driven single, “If You Need Me Don’t,” available everywhere today. American Songwriter exclusively premiered a first listen to the track, noting it “lands somewhere between an Americana-steeped singer-songwriter and full-bodied soul singer,” while People.com premiered the music video which “embodies female empowerment.”

Reviewers are applauding Linsey:
“In the ‘If You Need Me Don’t’ music video, Linsey lets her passion shine as she belts out the lyrics, complimented by colorful outfits and sets with this ‘female empowerment’ anthem.” – Daniela Avila, People.com
“Raw, and refined, Linsey’s unabashed vocal strength radiates through a newfangled production palate. Brassy layers of jazz-rooted instrumentation present a clashing contrast to the whining pedal steel that often softened the edges of her thoughtfully constructed country sound.” – Madeline Crone, American Songwriter
“With that big, soulful voice, Linsey has a sound that is hard to forget and is well on her way to becoming a household name” – Bethany Bowman, The Tennessee Star
Gibson Guitars sponsored Linsey’s single release event on Thursday, March 17 at their innovative new showroom in Nashville. During the release party, Gibson helped Linsey raise money for The Roots of Music non-profit organization in her hometown of New Orleans. A portion of the profits from her single will be donated to The Roots of Music, which helps underprivileged students have access to music education, academic support and mentorship.
