LISTEN UP: RAELYNN’S DEBUT ALBUM WILDHORSE STREAMS EXCLUSIVELY ON NPR TODAY (3/16) FEATURING CHART-CLIMBING SINGLE “LOVE TRIANGL
One week before its official release, breakout country star RAELYNN’s debut album WILDHORSE is already running free, streaming exclusively and in its entirety as an NPR First Listen today (3/16).
Set for arrival on March 24, WILDHORSE (Warner Bros. Records/Warner Music Nashville) tells the story of the young artist’s life following her time on NBC’s The Voice, four years that have seen her move to Nashville, release hit songs like “God Made Girls,” and get married. Produced by Jimmy Robbins and Nicolle Galyon, RaeLynn co-wrote 11 of the album’s 12 tracks, including the powerful first single, “Love Triangle,” a divorce ballad told from the point of view of a little girl.
Showing a strong connection with young and old alike, “Love Triangle” is currently climbing the Country radio charts and gathering millions of online streams.
Meanwhile, the fun-loving singer-songwriter is also celebrating her inclusion in a new exhibit at the COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM. Opening Friday (3/17), AMERICAN CURRENTS (THE MUSIC OF 2016) is a collection of items from select artists who are making country music history every day.
Describing her inclusion as the highest of honors, the dress and accessories RaeLynn wore during her 2014 Grand Ole Opry debut are displayed alongside a stage outfit that belonged to the great Tammy Wynette. The American Currents exhibit runs through 2017.
On Saturday (3/18), RaeLynn and Blake Shelton will wrap the DOING IT TO COUNTRY SONGS TOUR in Omaha, Nebraska, and on April 20 she will begin her first-ever headlining tour. Kicking off in Columbus, Ohio, the RaVe TOUR will give country fans a concert experience like they’ve never had before, combining a Radio Disney curated pre-party, full performance from RaeLynn and a glitter-filled dance party with a live DJ after the show.
About RaeLynn:
RaeLynn’s current single “Love Triangle” is the powerful first track from her Warner Bros. Records/Warner Music Nashville debut WILDHORSE, produced by Jimmy Robbins and Nicolle Galyon and set to release March 24. “Love Triangle” tells her personal story in a way that "is a raw and emotional account of what it’s like to be the child of divorced parents" (People Magazine), which media and fans have immediately gravitated to, evidenced by the single hitting Top 11 sales per spin while the music video has racked up 5.6 million views since release. The remainder of the 12-track album, 11 of which were co-written by RaeLynn herself, is a broader look into her life over the past few years since her breakthrough on NBC’s hit show, The Voice. Recently nominated for the 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards fan-voted THE FRESHEST! - BEST NEW ARTIST COUNTRY and selected as a 2017 “Country Artist to Watch” by Pandora Radio, Napster and Billboard, RaeLynn has tallied 104 million plus cumulative career streams. She is poised to follow in the early success of her Top 10, GOLD-certified song “God Made Girls” that has racked up more than 925,000 track equivalent sales and has been streamed more than 48 million times. The track was nominated in 2016 for Radio Disney’s Favorite Country Song, earned her recognition as one of CMT’s Next Women of Country and was the highest charting debut single by a solo female in 2014. The music video has accumulated more than 28 million views and earned her a pair of CMT Music Award nominations for Female Video of the Year and Breakthrough Video of the Year in 2015.
