Welcome to GPF!! Here’s what we have on deck tonight!
Up first is Homecoming Queen by Kelsea Ballerini! The album Kelsea came out today! In a recent radio interview, she had a lot to say about what went into her favorites from the 13 tracks, and what she set out to do with this project packed with oversharing. But first, the title.“The album kind of named itself. To be honest, I didn’t really have a theme like I did on my last record. I just wrote for two years,” she said, “and when I was sifting through my favorite songs it kind of seemed like it was a very self-aware, self-discovery period of my life. Which is why I named it Kelsea. Because it felt like if you listen to the 13 songs, we’d be on a first name basis after that.” – Kelsea
Up next? Ashley McBryde with One Night Standards! She was nominated for Grammy Awards for both the album and its title cut, taking a CMT Award, winning the Academy of Country Music’s New Female Vocalist of the Year and, last fall, taking the Country Music Association’s Best New Artist prize. also got three more ACM nominations, two for “Girl Goin’ Nowhere,” Fun fact: She said the moniker “new artist” feels weird because she’s 36 and been in the business for years!
