Country-Soul singer Drake White returns with deeply moving new song, “Ladder To The Sky,” out today (8/25). A heartfelt note to happiness beyond this world, “Ladder To The Sky” follows swaying travelers anthem, “Spirit” from late June. 
 
Co-written by White, Vanessa Olivarez and Andy Skib, “Ladder To The Sky” places a from-the-heart emphasis on the comfort found in being a part of something bigger than tangible Earth. A truly beautiful take on some of life’s scariest unknowns, the song makes peace and tranquility out of the masses beyond the stars, rainbows, and clouds that everyone is striving for. 

An anthem tributed to learning to trust the path ahead, White teased the demo on Instagram and wrote, “I’m guilty of always pushing to what’s next. This is to remind me that we control very little in this life. Just keep climbing, and you’ll end up exactly where you need to be.”
 
Produced by White, the touching track finds simple guitar strums paired with meaningful lyrics and White’s achingly smooth vocals to create a delicate lullaby about true joy found in trust, forgiveness and believing.

ABOUT DRAKE WHITE:
Drake White grew up singing in his church’s youth choir in Alabama before becoming one of Country music’s most spirited innovators, earning four Top 40 hits and traveling the country on multiple nationwide tours. His 2013 debut single “Simple Life” introduced his brand of Country Soul, which he cemented with 2016 debut album SPARK followed by the EPs ‘Pieces’ and ‘Stars.’ In August 2019, he collapsed on stage due to a hemorrhagic stroke, and doctors told him he might never perform again. After undergoing a series of operations to repair his Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) and months of physiotherapy, White has proved them wrong, returning to the road to spread his incredible positivity to his fans. In 2022 he embarked on his headline THE OPTIMYSTIC TOUR, which spanned dates in the U.S. and the U.K. His latest album, THE OPTIMYSTIC, is an inspiring glimpse into the journey he has taken over the past few years, and the “extremely accomplished album” (American Songwriter) delivers a “powerful message” (Nashville Lifestyles) via White’s “smooth brand of country-soul” (Billboard). White has received accolades including Rolling Stone’s 10 Country Artists You Need to Know, The Grammy’s Artist of Tomorrow and the British CMA Awards’ International Song of the Year and has shared the bill with Country music superstars like Luke Bryan, Eric Church and Zac Brown Band.
