RaeLynn Releases New Song “Funny Girl” Out Now

/in , , , /by

RaeLynn shares her brand new song, “Funny Girl” is out now, March 15th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new track below.

RaeLynn has had quite the journey in country music, but her steadfast honesty and commitment to authenticity may be one of the most intriguing things about her. The sassy singer has a knack for bringing real life into her songs. Today, she releases one of her most honest releases to date. “Funny Girl” is officially out now.

“Funny Girl” is a true story-telling song. Throughout the track, RaeLynn shares what it was like growing up as a the “funny girl,” rather than the popular girl. The song reads as a letter to the fellow “funny girls” who may relate to this song. While the entire song is impressive, the wordplay RaeLynn uses in the chorus is one of the most underrated parts of the song.

“Funny girl, how’ve you been? // I’ve been you, girl, since I was ten // Funny girl, keep cracking jokes // When shit gets real, that’s all you’ll know // The life of the party, tonight’s entertainment // A clear sky when the parade’s raining // Yeah, I know you’re mad at where you’re at // Gettin’ jealous of your friends // Ridin’ shotgun seat to the homecoming queen with a label on your back”

“Funny Girl” marks a new era of music for the songstress who is expected to release a full-length album later this year. Stay tuned!

Who Is RaeLynn? The Story Behind Her Journey to Country Music

/in , , /by

Who is RaeLynn? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about her journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

who-is-raelynn

Quick Facts:

Full Name – Racheal Lynn “RaeLynn” Davis
Birthday – 5/4/1994
Hometown – Baytown, Texas
Current City – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical Influences – Dolly Parton & family
Latest Release – “Raisin’ Me A Country Girl” (*as of date of article: 03/27/2023)

The Beginning:

Today’s spotlight artist truly needs no introduction. A mainstay in country music over the last decade, we are sharing singer-songwriter RaeLynn’s impressive career so far. We chatted with the songstress all about how she got to Nashville and where she is now.

RaeLynn grew up in Baytown, Texas, just outside of Houston. She is a proud Texan, and truly drew inspiration from her hometown in the music she created in her later years. However, music has always been the fabric of her upbringing. “I grew up in a very musical family. It was almost like – you know in some families, it’s weird if you don’t play sports, well in our family, it was weird if you didn’t play music,” began the singer.

“Everything revolved around church. Everything was about Sunday morning service and youth group, and all the things, and not even just christian music, but also country music. Growing up a Texas girl, we would go to the Houston livestock rodeo every single year. Country music was my backbone.”

For RaeLynn, she always connected to the lyrics of a country song, drawing inspiration from artists like Dolly Parton and Miranda Lambert. “There was something about the storytelling of country music that I just fell in love with,” shared the songstress, adding, “I started writing when I was 13 and I kind of picked up the guitar, just playing random Miranda Lambert songs and whatever I could learn on YouTube.”

Armed with a dream and a passion, upon graduating high school early, RaeLynn started making trips to Nashville to pursue her calling.

The Turning Point:

Fresh out of high school, RaeLynn told her parents to just give her a couple of years to “make it” in country music. “I told my parents, just give me a couple of years to get a record deal and a publishing deal […] I didn’t really have a backup plan,” she shared, adding, “Their faith in me gave me the faith to go out and do what I knew I could do.”

While in Nashville, the songstress decided to audition for the popular show, ‘The Voice.’ “I decided to audition for ‘The Voice,’ and after that honestly, that show was kind of a rocket ship into my life now. I didn’t win the show, but after the show was over for me, I went back to Nashville, moved all my stuff from Texas and began to start this grind in country music to really work hard. I didn’t realize songwriting could be a job.”

From that point on, RaeLynn did whatever she could to network and build her portfolio both as a songwriter and an artist. “I got my first record deal at 18 years old, and after that, started getting on big tours, and started meeting a lot of awesome people in the industry.” Little did she know that in just ten years in the industry, she would have dropped two full records that fans loved.

Today:

While RaeLynn has always personified sassy, confident, and cool, her music now speaks to the experience and groundedness she has found in the industry and in her personal life as a mother and as a wife. “Ten years ago, my happiness was where my song was on the charts, and all my identity was wrapped up in RaeLynn and who I am on Music Row,” began the artist. “Now my identity is not wrapped up in that, it’s wrapped up in being a good wife, a good mother, a good friend, a good daughter, and those things, the things that really matter in life. And I feel like when you have that perspective, it pours out in your music.”

Currently, the singer is creating music that is truly coming from the depths of her soul. Her single, “Raisin’ Me A Country Girl” being one of them. “So I wrote “Raisin’ Me a Country Girl” when I was 8 months pregnant with a guy named Will Bundy and Rhett Akins,” shared RaeLynn. “I had this idea for this song because growing up I was the kid in a sundress, my hair in pigtails, playing in the sandbox, playing in the dirt, with my Barbie jeep, drinking out of a water hose, doing all the things. I was a little country, redneck kid. […] When I was thinking about a love letter to Daisy, I hoped to be raising a country girl. I want her to be tough, I want her to be sweet, I want her to be confident. I want her to love Jesus and know that values matter in this world, and have a strong heart for people, and always be a good person, and honestly the things that my parents instilled in me, and I want to instill that in her.”

The track is the country song that little girls everywhere needed. In add-on, RaeLynn partnered with the organization Operation Underground Railroad to support their mission to stop human trafficking. Find out more here. And most recently, RaeLynn has shared her newest single, “Broken One.” The song speaks to what it was like growing up in a divorced household.

Both “Raisin’ Me A Country Girl” And “Broken One” are the lead singles of RaeLynn’s upcoming record Funny Girl, slated for release this August. “I’m working on my record […] I definitely have some really sweet, love songs to Daisy and my husband, but I also have some songs about what I’ve been going through, but also those really fun, uptempo country songs.”

Raelynn Shares Important New Song “It’s Happening Right Here”

/in , , /by

RaeLynn’s brand new song “It’s Happening Right Here” is out now, January 27th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the important new track below.

RaeLynn released an important new song in conjunction with the organization, Operation Underground Railroad. The song, “It’s Happening Right Here” shines light on the epidemic of sex trafficking that is happening right here in the United States. While this may not be a song that is going to radio or going to be played at live shows, it is an important piece of music that is spreading an even more important message.

“It’s Happening Right Here” is supported by an incredible new music video that highlights the facts that we all need to know. The song and the music video are part of a larger message as Operation Underground Railroad releases a new documentary by the same name. The documentary will be available to rent or buy on January 31st.

According to RaeLynn, “Despite the evilness of the sex trafficking industry, there is hope – there are still good people who care and are willing to speak up and protect our kids. We can let the light in and I pray this song is a catalyst to that. Also the biggest shoutout to my creative brother [TK McKamy] we have been doing videos together for almost 10 years. He directed “God Made Girls” and I love him so dearly. Thank you for making this come to life with this amazing team.”

“It’s happening right here // It’s happening right now // Yeah once you turn the light on // You can’t just turn it out // It’s behind the door,  just up the street // Down the hall on a cellphone screen // It’s a wake-up call for us all in the mirror // It’s happening right here”

Part of the proceeds from the song will go to Operation Underground Railroad.

RaeLynn Drops Two Brand New Songs for Fans – Listen Here

/in , , /by

RaeLynn drops two new songs, “I Love My Hometown” and “If God Took Days Off”, out now, May 13th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new songs below.

RaeLynn has never shied away from her sassy, country signature sound. From day one, the songstress burst on to the country music scene with a true authenticity that is hard not to fall in love with. Today, the singer-songwriter is giving fans, not one, but two brand new songs to pump through the speakers. “I Love My Hometown” and “If God Took Days Off” are officially here!

On “I Love My Hometown”, RaeLynn proves that she will never be over professing her love for her country roots. The song features all the typical country staples, like trucks, small-town love, and pretty country views, but for some reason, the song still screams innovation. RaeLynn and her vocal twang make this song a surefire bop for the summer!

“I love my hometown ’cause it’s so g // when I walk around everyone knows me // It’s like ‘hey, how you living’ // bout as easy as the cricks and cricket // you don’t get this in the city like you do out in the sticks // you can’t get this kinda pretty, bout as real as real gets”

When it comes to the second new song, “If God Took Days Off,” you will be blasting this through your speakers for a different reason. The song evokes pure emotion. RaeLynn taps into her vulnerable side, as she ponders what the world would look like if God took a break from creating and protecting. The song is poignant and relatable.

“Forever wouldn’t be waiting on us // Our paths might never have crossed // If God took days off // I thank God that he don’t // I thank God that didn’t // I thank God every time I was praying, he was listening”

Both new songs showcase different sides of RaeLynn’s talent and charm. Country music needs her and her one-of-a-kind talent. She is a firm staple in the genre!

RaeLynn: ‘Baytown’ – Album Review

/in , , , /by

RaeLynn’s brand new record Baytown is officially available now, September 24th on all streaming platforms. Check out our full review and listen to the brand new music below.

Back in August of last year, we continuously praised RaeLynn’s Baytown EP. The six song project perfectly showcased the singer-songwriter’s  confidence, clever wordplay, and amazing vocals like no other project had before. Today, the new mom expands on that collection of songs with the official Baytown album, out now.

The record features fourteen tracks in total. Previously released songs like “Keep Up,” “Judgin’ To Jesus,” and “Bra Off” anchor the project with the sassy and fiery tunes we have come to love from the songstress. Similarly, RaeLynn’s new collaborative song with Mitchell Tenpenny “Get That All The Time” further exhibits her flirty personality.

“I know that you could have anyone in here tonight // But you’d be better off mine // I bet you get that all the time // All the time // You’re probably getting pretty used to me // I bet you memorize the lines // And this ain’t nothing new to ya”

RaeLynn also collaborates with country superstar, Blake Shelton on “Why I Got A Truck.” The new song centers around the singer’s country upbringing and the importance of a truck in her life. Although a truck is a familiar focal point on many country songs, the singers portray the subject in a new and girl-power-like light.

XX

“Rowdy” is another fun new song off the new record. Once again, RaeLynn leans into her country, Texan roots. Singing lyrics, like “I get rowdy, I get mouthy,” the songstress is unapologetic about her upbringing. “Only In A Small Town” shares the sentiment of pride for her hometown in a humorous way.

“Only in a small town does your ex get locked up and knocked up your best girl friend // Spending every bit of my $10.25 an hour to throw a shower // Hell, only in a small town”

Despite the fact that Baytown is full of sassy hits, it is also the home to many vulnerable songs by the rising artist. While the touching ballad “Fake Girl Town” sheds a much needed light on the detrimental culture that exists between girls, “Small Town Prayer” reminds us all of the importance of hope, faith, and community.

“It all sounds simple coming off our lips // Cause we’re so little // and he’s so big // can’t find it in a bible // but Lord I swear, nothing hits heaven like a small town prayer”

RaeLynn continues to let fans into her heart on songs like “Me About Me” and “She Chose Me.” The former is a full-fledged confession about the details of a break-up and a one-sided relationship. The heartbreakingly stunning mid-tempo song conveys a type of honesty that we only get from country music. The latter is an incredibly honest story about a woman getting pregnant and keeping the baby, written from the perspective of the child that was born. RaeLynn calls it the prequel to her song “Love Triangle.”

“That’s one hell of a choice to make // If it went the other way, nobody would have blamed her // Think of all the small town talk it would have saved her // She could’ve chosen one quick fix // To get her out of one big mess / She could have tied a different ribbon to the ending of the story”

XX

The record ends with “Made For Me To Love (Demo).” The song is clearly a personal one to the singer. It tells the story of her getting pregnant with her daughter Daisy Rae, who was born earlier this month. Arguable the most poignant RaeLynn song to date, it is the perfect way to end the exquisite full-length album.

RaeLynn Releases ‘Merry Christmas’ – Two Holiday Songs

/in , , /by

RaeLynn gets right to the point this holiday in new song “Jingle Bell Drunk” and takes some of the edge off with her take on a classic, “Silent Night”.

RaeLynn Merry Christmas

RaeLynn: Merry Christmas dropped Wednesday, November 25th, with two songs: an original song by RaeLynn, “Jingle Bell Drunk”, and her version of “Silent Night”. 

In an Instagram post announcing the double release, she shares that “one’s a little naughty, one’s a little nice, just like me!” The statement couldn’t be more true as the two perfectly show off the two sides of RaeLynn that we love so much. One that just wants to have fun and one that’s classic with its own unique spin. 

She wrote “Jingle Bell Drunk” with Corey Crowder, Ernest Keith Smith, and Rocky Block, and both songs were produced by Corey Crowder. The original song is a fun and energized track that aims to get fans in the holiday spirit and even more importantly, the drinking mood. It’s filled from start to finish with witty play-on-words that reference several classic Christmas songs. From the first line, “all I want for Christmas…”, to the last “…jingle bells, jingle bells, drinking all the way”, you’ll be wishing you could fast-forward to Christmas with a drink in your hand. 

“ I’m getting jingle bell drunk this Christmas / I don’t give a jingle bell what, who isn’t / Listen, I’ve been naughty, I’ve been nice / Made my list and checked it twice “

RaeLynn: Merry Christmas follows her BAYTOWN EP release in August, her first release with Round Here Records, Florida Georgia Line’s label. The EP is named after her hometown and has six tracks, all of which she co-wrote, including the hit single “Me About Me”.

Keeping in the Christmas Spirit, RaeLynn made her Film Debut this past Saturday, November 21st, in the Hallmark Channels “A Nashville Christmas Carol”.

NYCS First Impression: RaeLynn ‘Baytown’ EP

/in , , , /by

Baytown RaeLynn

Move over country boys, let me re-introduce you to a country girl! Rising artist, RaeLynn shines as bright as can be on her brand new EP entitled Baytown, inspired by her Texas hometown. Her country twang is at the forefront of each of the six tracks, but it is her sass, her confidence, her wordplay, and her stunning voice that steals the show. Check out our Up Close & Virtual interview below.

“Keep Up” sets the tone right away for what we can expect from the rest of the record. The hard-hitting, countrified tune is all about RaeLynn playing just as hard as the boys. RaeLynn sings about being “redneck,” being able to build and fix stuff with her hands, and of course, doing all the things the boys can do, but better. This age-old adage is perfectly personified in this sassy and confident jam.

The record progresses into a more mellow vibe with “Still Smokin” and “Fake Girl Town.” The former is a tune about a summer romance that turned into forever. Cleverly weaving literal examples of fire and smoke with the figurative heat and spark of a budding romance, RaeLynn paints the picture of how a relationship turned into a forever kind of thing. The sincere love song is fresh and exciting. “Yeah lemme tell you about a summer fling that turned to a fling that’s gonna last forever.”

The latter of course, “Fake Girl Town” continues to slow things down. The touching ballad sheds a much needed light on the detrimental culture that exists between girls. Unfortunately, society has encouraged women to be vicious and compete with each other rather than support and cheer each other on. The songstress is singing her heart out about wishing more girls could be there for one another but is confident that she will find the real ones among a sea of fakers. “I know they’re out here, somewhere / A two lane girl like me / I know they’re out here, somewhere / Chasing down their dream.”

Keeping the vulnerability going, the previously released, “Me About Me” is a full-fledged confession about the details of a break-up and a one-sided relationship. The heartbreakingly stunning mid-tempo song conveys a type of honesty that we only get from country music. “You would know if you asked me about me / Me about me.”

For fans who prefer the more in your face, fiery side of Raelynn, both “Judgin To Jesus” and the single, “Bra Off” fit the bill. The first is a boot-stomping jam and party song that will fit perfectly into a live show performance. “Bra Off” is a humorous and fierce expression of shedding your skin after a break-up. RaeLynn compares losing a guy to taking her bra off, admitting that she finally feels less suffocated. The female- anthem is just as hilarious, as it is brilliant.

It is safe to say that RaeLynn made her hometown proud with this record. The ‘Baytown’ native has sure evolved into a powerhouse singer-songwriter, and we love her newest project.

Raelynn Confesses Details of a Breakup in “Me About Me”

/in , , /by
Raelynn Me About Me

Photo Credit: Ford Fairchild

Two-time ACM New Female Vocalist nominee Raelynn is making 2020 her year. Releasing sassy “Bra Off” and “Keep Up”, the country singer + songwriter has just released her latest single “Me About Me.”

“Me About Me” is the latest look off of the singer-songwriter’s EP Baytown coming out via Round Here Records on August 14th; the label created by Florida Georgia Line. Written by Bob DiPiero and Jeff Garrison and the singer herself, the mid-tempo track talks about a one-sided relationship. The chorus discusses all the little things that the singer’s ex could’ve known about her – but never asked. She sings, “Your first ride was a 1990 Wrangler // Your first kiss was a game of spin-the-bottle // When it comes to you I can answer any question // That’s what happens when you just sit back and listen.”

“We were talking about past relationships, and I told her about a situation with an ex where I knew everything about him, but he never asked me about me,” says RaeLynn said in a press release, “It made me realize that I wasn’t alone, a lot of people have probably had the experience of a relationship being one-sided like that.”

RaeLynn’s forthcoming EP Baytown takes the name of her hometown in Texas. It’s full of sass, grit, and her fiery personality that everyone loves. She co-penned every song on the EP while Corey Crowder produced its entirety. She shared the inspiration behind the aesthetics of the artwork of her upcoming work on her Twitter page, “Behind every queen, there’s a group of creative queens who MAKE IT HAPPEN. I came upon the pic of @AliciaSilv on the cover of @RollingStone when we were working on the mood board for the #BAYTOWN photoshoot. I was instantly obsessed & wanted to create the same vibe with baby blue!”

This past weekend, country songwriter turned superstar artist Maren Morris performed for thousands of fans in the New York City area when her GIRL: The World Tour made stops at Brooklyn Steel and Terminal 5. Morris brought her undeniable charm, wit and epic stage presence to deserving fans who have been following her career for years.

On this leg of the tour, and both evenings the opening slot was taken by RaeLynn.  The sassy singer-songwriter performed songs from her 2017 debut album WildHorse, such as “Love Triangle” as well as her brand new hits “Queens Don’t” and “Tailgate”. RaeLynn is the perfect opening act for Morris’ fan base, she is real, her songs are relatable and she brings a certain sass that country music fans love.

On Saturday night at Terminal 5, Morris welcomed RaeLynn back to the stage to perform “All My Favorite People” the duet on GIRL that usually features Brothers Osborne. RaeLynn was celebrating her birthday, so after they sang together, Morris led the entire crowd in one giant sing-a-long of “Happy Birthday”. The gesture brought RaeLynn to tears and it was definitely a sweet moment between both artists.

Before singing “I Could Use A Love Song”, Morris slowed things down a bit to chat with her sold-out audience. She explained the story of a radio programmer who told her not to pick that as her next single saying “Oh god no – people do not want to hear sad women on the radio,” and I was like ‘F*ck you, sure they do’,” she laughed.  “I was so in shock ’cause I have grown up listening to country music and a good bit of it is sad, and as someone that deals with your everyday anxiety and if I have a low day, if I’m sad I don’t turn the radio on and look for a sad song and think that it’s going to make me more depressed, I listen to a sad song on the radio because it makes me feel like someone else out there is going through the same thing,” the audience cheered. “Which is sort of the point of it all, isn’t it, so I did not heed his professional advice, it was a slow climb and it took 42 weeks up the chart to finally hit but it was such poetic justice because that guy got fired and this was my first number one song.”

Whether she was strutting around with confidence during “Make Out With Me” or “RSVP” or leading the entire crowd in swaying their hands back and forth during “Second Wind”, Morris captivated her audience from the moment she stepped on the stage. She couldn’t end the night without singing the song that truly changed everything for her. “I remember when I wrote this particular song one day, I felt this panic and I felt like, I don’t know if I can give this song away to another artist because it meant so much to me, we don’t get very many of those songs,” she said of “My Church”. I knew that I was on to something, I knew that in my heart, this song would change a lot of things for me and everything starts with one song, a little 3 minute and 30-second song can really turn everything in your life around.” During the entire song, you could barely hear Morris as the crowd sang along, becoming her own personal ‘gospel choir’. Check out the incredible sing-a-long moment below.
