NASHVILLE, TN (February 5, 2020) – Love is undoubtedly in the air for newlywed CARLY PEARCE. The chart-topper stuns alongside her husband Michael Ray on the February cover of Nashville Lifestyles, on stands now, and embraces the mood with a new steamy track ahead of her Valentine’s Day album release on Big Machine Records. Hear the story behind the Hillary Lindsey, Josh Kear and Gordie Sampson-penned track “You Kissed Me First,” available now.
Carly’s self-titled sophomore collection lingers through 13 progressions of the emotion with advance previews out now – the flirtatious “Call Me,” “Closer To You,” “Heart’s Going Out Of It’s Mind;” introspective “It Won’t Always Be Like This” and remorseful Top 15-and-rising duet “I Hope You’re Happy Now.” The latter has already spent two weeks at No. 1 on SiriusXM’s The Highway. Limited addition album packages are also available for pre-order at CarlyPearce.com.
CARLY PEARCE is already being met with early admiration from critics:
“…a testament to how good she feels in her skin and in her sound.”
– ACCESS
“…the perfect soundtrack to your Valentine’s Day…”
– E! News
“…stately midtempo musings on growing up (‘It Won’t Always Be Like This’) and the relentlessness of heartbreak (‘Love Has No Heart’).”
– Rolling Stone
“Carly Pearce effectively rolls her eyes at the electro-country mainstream with her self-titled second album, doubling down on the traditional bent of her ‘Every Little Thing’ breakout. Choosing banjos over beats, her brightly textured take on country pop offers evidence of a new diva in the making.”
– Nashville Lifestyles
“…the album promises plenty of sass and heart.”
– Billboard
“It’s safe to say that regardless of your Valentine’s Day plans, you have something to look forward to.”
– Vents Magazine
