Rising Star Heads Into 2017 On A High Note
Joining Blake Shelton’s DOING IT TO COUNTRY SONGS Tour In February, Album To Be Released This Year
Nashville, Tenn. – Breakout Warner Bros. Records/Warner Music Nashville artist RaeLynn is kicking off 2017 with a fresh burst of momentum, landing on year ending Best-Of and Artists-to-Watch lists from multiple outlets for her music and style.
Her current single “Love Triangle” – now on the verge of Top 30 at Country radio – leads the way, a stunning autobiographical divorce ballad sung from a little girl’s point of view. Co-written by the rising star with Nicolle Galyon and Jimmy Robbins, its thought-provoking message landed the tune on Rolling Stone Country’s “25 Best Country Songs of 2016” list, where the “emotional tug of war” was praised as “devastating.”
The lead single from her upcoming full length debut, WILDHORSE, “Love Triangle” also appears on the “20 Best Country Music Songs of 2016” list from OneCountry.com, and the lyrics were highlighted on the website’s “9 Best Country Music Lyrics of 2016” as “smart and all too true.”
Meanwhile, RaeLynn has also been called out by streaming service Pandora on their influential “Artists to Watch 2017” list. Among 25 all-genre artists chosen by Pandora’s curation team, she is one of only two representing country music. The annual list says RaeLynn has “found her voice,” and “is about to take 2017 by storm.”
Capping off the good news, the singer-songwriter also picked up a nod for her elegant and whimsical style, making ET Online’s “Most Gorgeous Celeb Wedding Dresses of 2016” list. She was married to Josh Davis on February 27.
Looking ahead, RaeLynn will serve as the opening act on her Voice mentor Blake Shelton’s DOING IT TO COUNTRY SONGS Tour starting February 16. WILDHORSE is slated for release this year.
