Today, singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Sophia Scott returns with “Tumbleweed” — a brand-new ballad that hits a breathtaking balance of bittersweet reflection and lovestruck gratitude. Out now via EMPIRE, the lush and confessional track celebrates the life-altering magic of finding someone who truly accepts you as you are. Go here to listen to “Tumbleweed” now.

Written by Scott, Ross Copperman (Luke Bryan, Keith Urban), and Ava Suppelsa (Flatland Cavalry, Carly Pearce) and produced by Sam Martinez (Shaboozey, Graham Barham), “Tumbleweed” opens as the Colorado-bred artist looks back on her journey so far and her struggle to stay grounded in relationships (“I’ve always had one foot out the door/My boots have been broken in/From all the searching for something more”). In the tradition of heartfelt songs like “Lipstick on You” (a sweetly devastating standout from her acclaimed 2023 debut album Barstool Confessions), the Country-Rock slow-burner unlocks a tremendous depth of emotion by weaving in plenty of deeply personal yet poetic details (cowboys and blackbirds, tequila and smoke, rolling tides and untamable flames). With its dreamlike textures and gorgeously sparse guitar tones — and a sublimely soulful vocal turn from Scott — “Tumbleweed” ultimately builds to a chorus that beautifully conveys her blissed-out wonder (“Boy, only you/Could go put some roots/On a tumbleweed”). 
 
Earlier this week, Scott made waves with her first-ever UK headline show — a SOLD-OUT date at Colours Hoxton in London, featuring Abbie Mac as support. Thanks to her fast-growing overseas fanbase, Scott will also head to Europe in March for back-to-back shows in Rotterdam and Berlin (a pair of dates scheduled as part of C2C: Country to Country, Europe’s biggest Country music festival). Go here to check out Scott’s full tour schedule.

The new track is the latest turn in a triumphant year that’s included being named a Pandora Artist To Watch 2024: Country, a 2024 Artist To Watch by Nashville Briefing, as well as making her Ryman Auditorium debut as part of Niko Moon’s coast-to-coast THESE ARE THE DAYS TOUR. “Tumbleweed” also arrives as Scott continues to heat up the holiday season with her recently released rendition of “Winter Wonderland.” A fiery and fun-loving take on the Christmas classic, “Winter Wonderland” dropped last month alongside Scott’s stripped-back and stunning cover of Wham!’s “Last Christmas.”

ABOUT SOPHIA SCOTT:
Based in Nashville but raised in Colorado, Sophia Scott has blazed her own bold trail to Country stardom. With a rare gift for raw yet exquisitely detailed storytelling — and a one-of-a-kind sound infused with elements of Southern Rock, Pop, R&B, and Soul — the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist has amassed over 133 MILLION career streams. Growing up in Boulder, she took up piano and guitar as a child and soon started composing songs of her own, then further developed her unforgettably candid songwriting voice upon kicking off her music career in Los Angeles. During her six years in L.A., Scott found early success with singles like 2018’s “White Fence” and 2019’s “Drink Too Much Wine” (both featured on coveted playlists like Spotify’s New Music Friday), but ultimately relocated to Nashville and immersed herself in sharpening her craft. A breakthrough year for Scott, 2021 brought such triumphs as opening for the Jonas Brothers, landing on an artists-to-watch list from People, and inking her record deal with EMPIRE Nashville. The fast-rising artist maintained that momentum throughout 2022, when she delivered her widely acclaimed debut EP One Of These Days — a six-song project that earned praise from American Songwriter, E! News, Entertainment Tonight, and CMT (who stated that “Nashville newcomer Sophia Scott proves she has a bright future ahead in the genre”). Along with signing a global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and Ross Golan’s Unknown Music Publishing in 2022, Scott made her bucket list debut at the Grand Ole Opry the same day as the arrival of her debut album Barstool Confessions (EMPIRE) — an October 2023 release that quickly received nods of approval from the likes of CMT, Taste of Country, Holler, MusicRow's DISClaimer, and more.
