Speaking about both the song and the album, Watt said that the track was great for her as she managed to get it together pretty quickly, while also stating that she hopes there is something for everyone on the album. “Band of Gold was one of those songs that basically wrote itself,” Watt said. “It just kind of flowed out of me in about 30 minutes and I knew it was gonna be a goodie! “It feels like years of work and passion are coming to fruition and I’m finally getting to share a full body of work. There are some really fun, light tracks mixed with darker moments and scattered throughout are a few subtle references to some of my musical heroes that I’m hoping fans will have fun picking out. “After years of experimenting with different sounds and ideas, I’ve written a piece that I hope will have something for every kind of person and be the positive start we all need for 2021.” Back in 2019, Kerri Watt supported Keith Urban at O2 Kentish Town Forum, while she also shone at C2C a few days later.

Rising US country artist Hailey Whitters has released a new song in the shape of Fillin’ My Cup, which also features Little Big Town. You can listen to the song here or watch the video below.

Speaking about the song, Whitters explained how the song fell into the shape it did and also opened up slightly on the meaning behind the track, while also saying that it felt right to start 2021 by releasing this. “I wrote this song with Hillary Lindsey and Nicolle Galyon,” Whitters said. “I’d had the title Fillin’ My Cup for a while, but then Nicolle had the brilliant idea to turn the lyric into a recipe. “It’s a concoction of all of those little things in life that have a way of making my glass feel half-full. It’s been a hopeful reminder throughout the year and just felt like the right note to start 2021 on.” Hailey Whitters, who was born in Iowa, has been touted by some to be a huge star within country music and ‘The Dream’ found itself on a number of end of year top album lists.
