Tigirlily Gold release breakup track ‘I Tried A Ring On’

Powerhouse duo Tigirlily Gold released their debut EP ‘Blonde’ last summer, establishing sisters Krista and Kendra Slaubaugh’s as certified entertainers with rowdy and empowering songs inspired by the years they spent performing in bars on Nashville’s Lower Broadway. Building on the success of the project’s top 40 track ‘Shoot Tequila’, the duo today unveils a new side to their songwriting, with their emotional new single, ‘I Tried A Ring On’. ‘I Tried A Ring On’, written by Kendra and Krista, alongside Pete Good and Josh Jenkins, and produced by Pete Good, was inspired by their real-life heartbreak. Adding depth to their evolving story, ‘I Tried A Ring On’ conveys a heartfelt tale of love’s illusion and the sobering aftermath of shattered expectations. “We were noticing how many of the breakup songs in country music talk about how hard it is to get over someone, but another extremely hard part of heartbreak that not a lot of people talk about is the gut wrenching feeling of having to start over again when you truly thought you had forever with someone,” Tigirlily Gold shares. “‘I Tried A Ring On’ tells that side of the story, and we are excited for people to discover this whole other side of who we are as writers and as artists.” To read more exclusive articles and latest news, see our last issue here.

Singer/songwriter Elvie Shane has announced that he will release his sophomore album ‘Damascus’ on 19th April. Shane co-wrote all but one of the songs on the project produced by his frequent collaborator, Oscar Charles. Speaking about his upcoming release, Shane said: “I feel like I’ve grown a lot since ‘Backslider’. I’ve attained just about everything I ever dreamed of…seen the world and made a living with music. I’ve been on top and back down in the mud. In that travel and experience, I’ve paid close attention to people more than anything. I’ve seen a lot of struggle, but in that struggle I found common ground and inspiration. ‘Damascus’ is a record that aims to pick a fight with what holds people down. Normal every day Blue Collar America…my people. These are not all my stories, but they are all stories I believe to be true. But ‘What do I Know.’” He’s given listeners a taste of the project with releases of ‘Baptized’, ‘Jonesin’’ and ‘Forgotten Man’, with the latter dubbed “an ode to blue-collar workers that exposes the heart-aching realities of the working class” and with his latest track “Pill,” critics praised its gripping honesty as it “further cements Shane as a new voice of the damaged, addicted, and lost in country music”. Building his reputation as an artist “that would do Merle Haggard proud”, Elvie Shane reminds us that we’re more alike than different with “What Do I Know,” written by Shane, Oscar Charles, Dan Couch and Jonathan Sherwood. Full of lived-in honesty and fundamental truths, Shane puts his gritty, powerful vocals on display with a mid-tempo version of his classic country-rock sound.
