this great music. But how was your CMA week?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
It was incredible. It was my favorite CMA fest so far.
I had like three different performances, the whole interview day,
which was incredible, got to have amazing moments with my
team and my friends, and it was just it was
so memorable and I'm like, how how is next to
You're Gonna Pop?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
That is pretty great?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It always gets better and better. And then the crowds
again came out to all the signings, and the crowds
came out to all the meet and greets, and of
course the performances. I mean the fans. It never disappoints
for the fans when it comes to that, it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Like just seeing people light up and and really receive
the energy that I try my best to give and
vice versa.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Like it was.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
It was incredible to fill everybody's energy. And I love
meeting greets. I love meeting people, So that's also one
of my favorite parts of cmafest.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Let's talk about this. You've been on this whirlwind since
what twenty twenty one, the CMT's next moment of country
which is badass out there too, and all these great
accolades and opportunities and things that are coming your way
to play live shows, catch on with tours. Give me
kind of like a real quick, just kind of version
of the way the last three or four years have
been for you, because it's been in other words, it's
been quite a heck of a few.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Years, right, Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I think it started first with like me doing a
cover of Carrie Underwood song Drinking Alone, and she posted me,
Mickey Guyden posted me, and then my song was played
on Stamping Grounds, was played on Monday Night Football, and
I was added to the Jamie Johnson tour. I've opened
up for him, opened up for Reba, did some awesome
things with CMT, and performed with Luke Combs on CMT,
(03:27):
and it continuously just began to.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Build and build.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
And last year I was on the Beyonce album and
then performed with her on the B Bowl, And during
all these years also released two albums.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
So it's been pretty incredible. Like I've had, I've had.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Some some amazing, amazing moments that I've prayed for all
my life, and I'm thankful that a lot of those
prayers have been answered.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
A lot of it too, is addicative. We talked about
this in person too, but it's indicative of the music
because the music just has that vibe, you know, else
some great stories and I can I can tell this
all the way back to Bad Girl Bible Volume one,
which is fantastic. Kind of dive into that one for me.
We'll get to volume to here a little bit. But man,
the music really speaks to the audience and the audience
speaks right back to the artist, and these songs have
(04:15):
really been a staple for what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, I mean, first of all, I want to say
I was influenced by so many artists and a lot
of inspiration from like Beyonce, Beyonce Drake to Brothers Osborn
and Chris Stableton, Gresham Wilson, like all my influences all
created like my sound and my journey. In Bagirl Bible
Volume one, half of the songs are definitely personal, like
(04:40):
you have the Death of Me, like the first time
I was in love with someone, and then you have
these other songs. So I just wanted to tell these
like outlast stories when I would listen to like Johnny
Cash and you have like Miranda, you have these stories
where it's nothing to do with me, But I wanted
to just tell the story and journey of someone else,
Louisiana for example.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Well, I think I'm from Louisiana. I'm not from Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I just wanted to write a song that like encapsulated
like a woman's experience in what she might have gone
through in her life. And that's the song I would
say probably resonates with most people. That's the one that
gets people and.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Gets people going.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But I mean, the collection of work is our songs.
I've worked on, wrote for like years, and I was
so thankful to finally put it into this body of
art that I had been envisioning for so long.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
And I was really, I'm really proud of it.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
We're proud of this one. Here. We're gonna play right now.
So it's a great segue. I always love good segues.
Here on the show here too, Bad Girl Bible Volume one,
and this is one she's talking about that really put
her into the rights out there in country music. It's
called Louisiana. Here it is on the backstage pass again
powered by the Sports Guys apodcast Dot Colvin out there too.

five fifty one. B and B construction services out there too.
So you mentioned this one too, And I'm always curious
ran about the writing of songs that kind of what
goes behind the story of that would tell us all
about Louisiana, kind of where you were, kind of what
happened and when this moment kind of came together.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
Ooh.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
To be honest, I'm pretty sure I was in the
kitchen making coffee.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I'm I say everywhere I go grocery store, like it
doesn't matter where I'm at.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I think one day I was just like who is it?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
And I was like, Hey, that that could be an
incredible song. And I just took that little part, went
to my piano, started, you know, playing some chords, and
I was like, yeah, I feel I feel the heart
and the heartbeat of this song, and I got into
the studio with Sean McConnell and Jaron Johnson and we
finished writing.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
The verses, and as soon as I heard it, I
was like, I'm in love with this song.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
And not too long after that, I was with my
family in Alabama and I was recording one of our conversations,
and my family has so much character, and I just
I've used their voices at the beginning in the ending
of the song because I wanted to make sure they
had an imprint like in my career, in my music forever.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
So I love it. Great story right there too. And
you mentioned that, and you mentioned this world wind of
a ride you've been on too. I love the fact
that you can kind of see, you know. We talked
about this a little bit at cm Fest and all
the meat, great stuff and the fanfare. These collapse now
going on akon Gary Levox and so many people crossing
over into country, which I think is really good because
you know, variety is kind of a spice of life.
Give me your kind of feel all these collapse in
(11:36):
country music now and how how much of a great
thing at least I think it's great for the industry.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
No, I love it I've since I've been in Nashville,
however long I've been going to Nashville, maybe like five
or six years, I've been saying like, I can't I
can't wait for genres to collide and to combine in
creating a new era and new sound of country music.
As long as I've been going to Nashville, I would
tell people, they'd be like, what do you imagine?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
What do you imagine?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
As like an artist collaborating with another artist, Like who
do you imagine? I would say, like Beyonce, Meg and
this Stay and like Drake, like so many different artists
that I'm in love with outside of country music. And
I feel like you're definitely seeing those collaborations now, and
it is really evident on how much people love it
and how much it's impacting the trajectory of country music
(12:29):
and where it's going with the blending and the mixing
of genres.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Love it, no doubt too. I love country Club. Let's
talk about this one off that first time, the volume
one Bad Girl Bible, which is a kick ass love
this one country Club.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Yeah, country Club.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I remember that was actually one of the only songs
I feel like in my whole album that I didn't
come up with the idea of Like I was with
my friend Kendall and we were in the Messy and
we were all writing, and she was like, I have
this idea called country club and I was like, hey,
like I like that. And I was like, imagine like
people swinging from some chandeliers like Sea Lucia, and you
(13:07):
have like these You just have people being rowdy and
just having the best time of their lives.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
And it's people being authentically.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Who they are, with no like however old, however young,
they're just it's it's a party. And that's like, that's
where the country club story stemmed from. She said this
incredible title, and I was like, we have to we
have to make a party song out of.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
This, because this this is gonna hit.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
And it's those party songs I'm working out here right now.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
On the playlist, which is really good too, because either
it's like one hundred, which we're gonna play in a
little bit, so it's up tempo, it's got the vibe,
it's got the feel, and it's a little bit of
just great great music out there. And what you do
with these tunes is amazing also too. Uh, He's gonna
be a problem.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Oh oh, that's one of my favorites. That's one of
my favorites.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Tell us all about it.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Oh man, let me see.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Well, I had I had a friend that I crushed
on for quite some time, probably a few years, and
every time I saw him, I was like, Yeah, he's
gonna be a problem. He's just gonna be a problem.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I know it.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
The tattoos that, like all all the things I described
in the song, you should have come with a warning label.
And like the cigarettes and the tattoos and just everything
that he was.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
I was like, man, your trouble. I should write a
song about you because and I feel like it's the
perfect I feel like it, and I.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Feel like it's a perfect way to describe like when
you have a crush on somebody, like you're gonna be
a problem. You know that I want you just over
there looking like trouble. So I feel like it's a
very relatable song.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I love this one because obviously I would never take
these for granted. From that same record for Volume one,
Don't Waste a Prayer, I would tell a great message.
And honestly, you come from that that church, your faithful background,
which most people do no doubt believe in that higher
power no matter what denomination. What a great song.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, thank you. I I'm in love with that song.
And I wanted to tell the story of like redemption,
Like there's so many.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
People who feel like they can't go back to the
Lord or they feel like lost and don't know how
to see their way out of it. So I wanted
to start that the song from that place and have
the ending be like God's always got you, and even
if you feel like for some reason, like not some reason,
but for some people, they feel like they don't want
to waste a prayer, they feel like they're not good enough.
(15:25):
And this song I wanted people to hear like even
if you feel like that, which I don't always pray,
like even when you don't feel like you're worthied or
wherever you're at mentally or emotionally. But some like my
mother saying a prayer in the song, like that's what
you know, takes me to Heaven. That's what bridges the
(15:46):
gap of where I was at. It's just a story
of how people deal with like lost in rough times
and still finding a happy ending and leading back to God.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
And you know what, that's what we say, don't waste
a prayer because that, to common theme cannot be said
enough out there too, and make them, make them count too.
He's like I said, he hears every prayer out there too,
and he answers when he gets around to him. Kind
of like that old songs Unanswered Prayers from Darth Brooks.
So one of those songs that you may think he's listening,
but he is listening throughout there. Bad Girl Bible Volume two,
the Lost Files out there across all the DSPs. We

it's fantastic. Tell us all about this one.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Oh thank You, I've so one of my favorite songs
by Beyonce is flawless, and I love the way that
it makes me feel when I listen to it, like oh,
I can conquer anything. Like I am that woman gives
me confidence, and I wanted to create a song that
would hopefully do that for other people, like when they
would singing and be like, yeah, person, I'm the baddest
on the Truth, on the proof, and the glass put
(21:21):
you on your ass from shot one, and feeling that energy,
feeling that confidence and being able to walk in the

it's I'm me and having that like confidence and that energy,
and so that's what I wanted to.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Serve up to people.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
You served it up all right too. A lot of
sad when this record came out last September. I couldn't
think of a better song. We talked about this during
Sea Make week out there. Ye see Mayfaest Firing Whiskey
another one of those party songs that has fun out there,
has real meaning and it develops a really resonating with
a lot of fans, and it just really develops from
start to finish, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, yep, that's about someone else I had address on
and I was like, oh man, let me describe like
this experience and and hopefully in a way that's relatable
to other people that.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Have been like, oh man, you walked in like a
wanted man. I knew you were trouble.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Looking for a blessing. When you're putting your hands on me,
it feels like fire and whiskey. And I was like,
I feel like a lot of people will understand where.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
That's coming from.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
And the fire, and like the love or passion you
feel for somebody and and putting that in a song
and being able to sing and dance and have a
great time while you're while you're singing along to it.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Beautiful thing about music, man, Like I said, it is
therapy and you can have a great time doing it
and tell a lot of great stories, which leads me
into a little bit of the songwriting aspect of it.
So tell me about your process, your favorite part walk
me through the rain of Roberts school of one on
one on songwriting.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Oh man, I've wrote. I write in so many different ways.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Sometimes like I'll be I don't drive, so sometimes I'll
be in the passenger seat just working and writing and
singing to myself. Or I'll be like on my piano
and creating chords that sometimes I like to keep as
a ballot, or I'll play it for somebody and they'll
play it on guitar and then we'll come up with
some riffs and.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Some slide parts that I love, and we'll build on that.
Sometimes it starts with some titles that I love that.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Just bring like a motion or a feeling to me.
And then other times I'm just like, oh, I've just
thought of like a fire line. Let me just build
this whole song around this one line.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
I just thought of.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
So it's it's different.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
I will say one thing that I love about writing
in Nashville specifically is that because I write from I
don't typically write based on tracks like I build it
from the ground up. So that's one of the things
I loved about I love about writing in Nashville as
opposed to listening to a track and then writing on
top of the track.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Makes sense, no doubt. Break a heart like this another
one of those songs that you're just like, ouch, man,
it just really hits hits home to its cord. Tell
us all about this one.
Speaker 14 (23:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I've only ever dated one person, and when we broke up,
I was like me, Okay, this is I'd written so
many breakup songs before, but I had.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Never experienced it myself, and so I was like, Oh,
this is what this feels like. Oh this is terrible.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Got to write about this, especially now that I know
what it feels like. It puts you in a different place,
in a different mindset.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
And I wrote that with Liz Rose. We were in
Florida on a beach.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
You know, it was so beautiful outside, and I was like,
it's so gorgeous outside, and wow, I feel terrible on
the inside.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
So let's let's get these lyrics out. Let's let's put
it all out there.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Remember about warm glass eggnog right there? You go, just
pour it in there, make sure it goes down our
good shot of waste. Make sure it goes down smooth
there too. We talked about this too during c A Festwig.
I love this. One of the great things about doing
these follow ups too, is I remember a lot of
the conversation. But for people that may not have caught
the show man, the women's movement right there with you
and now Laney do what she's doing, Hannah Ellis, I mean,
(24:52):
Ashley McBride, Carly Pearce, Ashley Cook, Uh, Megan Baroni talk
about this and now it's girl power and country music,
isn't it.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
Yeah? I love it.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I think it's incredible also to see like the wide
range of the sound of country music that you hear
from all of us women. And I feel like, you know,
you listen to any one of us and you're not
getting the same sound or the same you know, the
same vibe.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
It's not like it's the originality and the authenticity.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
And I feel like people are really loving that, and
I'm glad that we can be the face of country
music and hopefully inspire other women who love country music
to do the same thing.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Let's talk about now we're almost done with the second quarter,
now entering the third quarter of twenty twenty five, crazy,
and now almost at Christmas. We talk about Christmas in July, Yeah,
we talked about Christmas plans to you know, like I said,
have the balance between the family life and spend time
with your mom or dad and then of course, you know,
work and things like that and some goals you're trying
to accomplish by the end of the year. Talk about that.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
For me, Well, my family's with me almost everywhere that
I go, So that's really a blessing.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Like almost anywhere my mother and my father we would
like to experience.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
My career together in these first especially because it's taken
my whole life to get us here, so we like
to celebrate together.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
In terms of like how I split my time, I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I kind of take it day by day, Like I
feel like in this industry, you never really know with
what's gonna pop up from where you're going, and I
feel like, thankfully that we're always together, so we don't
really spend too much time apart.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
And in regards to like what's coming up, I have
a new song coming out in the next few weeks.
I'm really excited about must Sangs over Bent Leaves.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
It's gonna be a new sound, gonna be a new look,
and I'm really excited for people to hear this version
of me and my music. And I call it country
plus because it's not just it's not traditional country at all.
It's traces of country with like a lot of pop,
a lot.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Of hip hop, and this fusion that is authentically like
who I am.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Very authentic too, and I like things that are just
different out there, don't sound the same. Like I said,
varieties a spice of life. We love that too, And
you know the same thing with our food choice is
out there. That's where I'm gonna go with this food question,
because I did get over to Germantown, went to the
baseball game. A three one two pizza. It was like
Chicago style, which was actually really good. Hey, okay to
buy the ballpark. There was another one because I love
(27:13):
a pizza fanatic. I love Italian food. Was was there too.
It was a little more thin crust uh pizza. And
then we went to the diner six floor.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Yeah, where did you go to to eat?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
A new places? Where did we go?
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Oh, that's a great question. I can't even remember. I
feel like everything was such a whirldwind. I'm like, did
I even eat? I remember? I remember going to Red Door.
Where did we eat? Well, I will say what I
usually like to eat at.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
There's so many different places, like in on Broadway. But
then you know in Nashville, of course that the stables
Hattie Bees. Whenever I'm with my family, they like to
go to Hattie Bees. But there's a pancake pantry, which
is really great.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
There's oh, there's so many, it's hard.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
There's the big, big, big bad breakfast. If the list
goes on and on, there's a there's char Yeah, I
can't like list so many. I'm just gonna stop right there.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Drew was actually telling this a little bit. Frowley Monkey.
Was that another one?
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Oh yeah, Drew, I totally forgot. I love the Frothy Monkey.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
That's actually one of the first places I went to
when I went to Nato for the first time.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Then I still go there because.
Speaker 14 (28:24):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I'm looking for a good sweet place too, because I started.
I used to not eat a lot of sweets, but
now with like the I say, cool the belly type thing.
If you've eating the spicy food, you're like, got a
cool the belly. Now I gotta get my.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Baked Bear, the Baked Bear. Have you been to the
Big Bear?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I'm not.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Do you like cookies and ice cream and brownies?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Who does it?
Speaker 14 (28:43):
Right?
Speaker 8 (28:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
If they don't, I'm like, there's something suspect about you.
I love I love sweets. The bakes beer is so
good it cannot go wrong.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Gotta definitely check that out next time too. You know,
this crazy, crazy career goes, you know, so on and
on for you guys too. Like I said, every day
is a new day, And like I said, you guys
are paying your dues in this thing called the music business.
Give me some of the challenges the kind of explain
to fans a little bit because they see the glitz
and glamour on the stage when you guys are performing,
and of course the celebrity type deal and the life
(29:14):
you live, but the work and of course the things
go on behind the scenes, and some challenges that you
go through as an artist to get to where you
want to go in your career.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I feel like, at least the things that I tend
to struggle with this because I'm inspired by so many things.
Condensing that not condensing the vision, but making sure that
I'm creating a specific sound that I love, that people
will understand, a specific vision that is true to me,
but that will hopefully also resonate to other people.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
And trying my best to be positive and inspiration.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
And all the things that I do, which can also
be hard when all days aren't you know, great days.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
And as an independent artist.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Too, which I've been majority of my career, trying to
get resources and things that I didn't know about before
when I didn't have any the experience in the music industry,
and kind of doing my best to build my career
with my team, and also find the right team members
to support me, because I feel like as an artist,
your team is incredibly essential. Like if you don't have
(30:12):
the right team around you, then you're not gonna feel safe,
You're not gonna feel stable. And I've gone through some of,
you know, a few different teams, but I'm in love
with the theme that I have now and I'm incredibly
grateful that they're even working with me in the first place.
But behind all the gliss and glamour, like you were saying,
is sometimes it can.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Be like self doubt. Is this the right song to release?
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Is this the right imagery? Or these the right outfits?
Is this the right storytelling?
Speaker 14 (30:40):
You know?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Am I making the right decisions that it's gonna take
me to the next level? And also work that I'm
really incredibly proud of. So I feel like it's all
those conversations and still having to find a way back
to yourself and say like, this is the vision, this
is who I am, and don't let the things around
you distract.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
You from that goal in that vision.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
That's it be authentic to be true to yourself, no
doubt about it. The Bad Girl Bible, Volume two, the
lost files across all the DSPs out there for streaming.

me about this. Uh, if you were not a musician,
what other occupation would you've done.

you know and people ask me that ever since I
was a child.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
I'm like, there's music is who I am. It's a
part of me.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
It's it's I can't imagine life without it. It's I
love God, I love my family, and music is the
love of my life.
Speaker 3 (31:38):

hitting talents.

loved wrestling and I did some like jiu jitsu and
stuff like that.

thanks for being there with us in person, which is

and meet y'all face to face and talk about all
this great music. But how was your CMA week?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
It was incredible. It was my favorite CMA fest so far.
I had like three different performances, the whole interview day,
which was incredible, got to have amazing moments with my
team and my friends, and it was just it was
so memorable and I'm like, how how is next to
You're Gonna Pop?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
That is pretty great?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It always gets better and better. And then the crowds
again came out to all the signings, and the crowds
came out to all the meet and greets, and of
course the performances. I mean the fans. It never disappoints
for the fans when it comes to that, it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Like just seeing people light up and and really receive
the energy that I try my best to give and
vice versa.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Like it was.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
It was incredible to fill everybody's energy. And I love
meeting greets. I love meeting people, So that's also one
of my favorite parts of cmafest.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Let's talk about this. You've been on this whirlwind since
what twenty twenty one, the CMT's next moment of country
which is badass out there too, and all these great
accolades and opportunities and things that are coming your way
to play live shows, catch on with tours. Give me
kind of like a real quick, just kind of version
of the way the last three or four years have
been for you, because it's been in other words, it's
been quite a heck of a few.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Years, right, Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I think it started first with like me doing a
cover of Carrie Underwood song Drinking Alone, and she posted me,
Mickey Guyden posted me, and then my song was played
on Stamping Grounds, was played on Monday Night Football, and
I was added to the Jamie Johnson tour. I've opened
up for him, opened up for Reba, did some awesome
things with CMT, and performed with Luke Combs on CMT,
(03:27):
and it continuously just began to.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Build and build.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
And last year I was on the Beyonce album and
then performed with her on the B Bowl, And during
all these years also released two albums.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
So it's been pretty incredible. Like I've had, I've had.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Some some amazing, amazing moments that I've prayed for all
my life, and I'm thankful that a lot of those
prayers have been answered.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
A lot of it too, is addicative. We talked about
this in person too, but it's indicative of the music
because the music just has that vibe, you know, else
some great stories and I can I can tell this
all the way back to Bad Girl Bible Volume one,
which is fantastic. Kind of dive into that one for me.
We'll get to volume to here a little bit. But man,
the music really speaks to the audience and the audience
speaks right back to the artist, and these songs have
(04:15):
really been a staple for what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, I mean, first of all, I want to say
I was influenced by so many artists and a lot
of inspiration from like Beyonce, Beyonce Drake to Brothers Osborn
and Chris Stableton, Gresham Wilson, like all my influences all
created like my sound and my journey. In Bagirl Bible
Volume one, half of the songs are definitely personal, like
(04:40):
you have the Death of Me, like the first time
I was in love with someone, and then you have
these other songs. So I just wanted to tell these
like outlast stories when I would listen to like Johnny
Cash and you have like Miranda, you have these stories
where it's nothing to do with me, But I wanted
to just tell the story and journey of someone else,
Louisiana for example.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Well, I think I'm from Louisiana. I'm not from Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I just wanted to write a song that like encapsulated
like a woman's experience in what she might have gone
through in her life. And that's the song I would
say probably resonates with most people. That's the one that
gets people and.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Gets people going.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But I mean, the collection of work is our songs.
I've worked on, wrote for like years, and I was
so thankful to finally put it into this body of
art that I had been envisioning for so long.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
And I was really, I'm really proud of it.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
We're proud of this one. Here. We're gonna play right now.
So it's a great segue. I always love good segues.
Here on the show here too, Bad Girl Bible Volume one,
and this is one she's talking about that really put
her into the rights out there in country music. It's
called Louisiana. Here it is on the backstage pass again
powered by the Sports Guys apodcast Dot Colvin out there too.

great work uh seven one three eight nine zero twenty
five fifty one seven one three eight nine zero twenty
five fifty one. B and B construction services out there too.
So you mentioned this one too, And I'm always curious
ran about the writing of songs that kind of what
goes behind the story of that would tell us all
about Louisiana, kind of where you were, kind of what
happened and when this moment kind of came together.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
Ooh.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
To be honest, I'm pretty sure I was in the
kitchen making coffee.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I'm I say everywhere I go grocery store, like it
doesn't matter where I'm at.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I think one day I was just like who is it?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
And I was like, Hey, that that could be an
incredible song. And I just took that little part, went
to my piano, started, you know, playing some chords, and
I was like, yeah, I feel I feel the heart
and the heartbeat of this song, and I got into
the studio with Sean McConnell and Jaron Johnson and we
finished writing.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
The verses, and as soon as I heard it, I
was like, I'm in love with this song.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
And not too long after that, I was with my
family in Alabama and I was recording one of our conversations,
and my family has so much character, and I just
I've used their voices at the beginning in the ending
of the song because I wanted to make sure they
had an imprint like in my career, in my music forever.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
So I love it. Great story right there too. And
you mentioned that, and you mentioned this world wind of
a ride you've been on too. I love the fact
that you can kind of see, you know. We talked
about this a little bit at cm Fest and all
the meat, great stuff and the fanfare. These collapse now
going on akon Gary Levox and so many people crossing
over into country, which I think is really good because
you know, variety is kind of a spice of life.
Give me your kind of feel all these collapse in
(11:36):
country music now and how how much of a great
thing at least I think it's great for the industry.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
No, I love it I've since I've been in Nashville,
however long I've been going to Nashville, maybe like five
or six years, I've been saying like, I can't I
can't wait for genres to collide and to combine in
creating a new era and new sound of country music.
As long as I've been going to Nashville, I would
tell people, they'd be like, what do you imagine?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
What do you imagine?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
As like an artist collaborating with another artist, Like who
do you imagine? I would say, like Beyonce, Meg and
this Stay and like Drake, like so many different artists
that I'm in love with outside of country music. And
I feel like you're definitely seeing those collaborations now, and
it is really evident on how much people love it
and how much it's impacting the trajectory of country music
(12:29):
and where it's going with the blending and the mixing
of genres.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Love it, no doubt too. I love country Club. Let's
talk about this one off that first time, the volume
one Bad Girl Bible, which is a kick ass love
this one country Club.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Yeah, country Club.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I remember that was actually one of the only songs
I feel like in my whole album that I didn't
come up with the idea of Like I was with
my friend Kendall and we were in the Messy and
we were all writing, and she was like, I have
this idea called country club and I was like, hey,
like I like that. And I was like, imagine like
people swinging from some chandeliers like Sea Lucia, and you
(13:07):
have like these You just have people being rowdy and
just having the best time of their lives.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
And it's people being authentically.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Who they are, with no like however old, however young,
they're just it's it's a party. And that's like, that's
where the country club story stemmed from. She said this
incredible title, and I was like, we have to we
have to make a party song out of.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
This, because this this is gonna hit.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
And it's those party songs I'm working out here right now.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
On the playlist, which is really good too, because either
it's like one hundred, which we're gonna play in a
little bit, so it's up tempo, it's got the vibe,
it's got the feel, and it's a little bit of
just great great music out there. And what you do
with these tunes is amazing also too. Uh, He's gonna
be a problem.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Oh oh, that's one of my favorites. That's one of
my favorites.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Tell us all about it.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Oh man, let me see.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Well, I had I had a friend that I crushed
on for quite some time, probably a few years, and
every time I saw him, I was like, Yeah, he's
gonna be a problem. He's just gonna be a problem.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I know it.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
The tattoos that, like all all the things I described
in the song, you should have come with a warning label.
And like the cigarettes and the tattoos and just everything
that he was.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
I was like, man, your trouble. I should write a
song about you because and I feel like it's the
perfect I feel like it, and I.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Feel like it's a perfect way to describe like when
you have a crush on somebody, like you're gonna be
a problem. You know that I want you just over
there looking like trouble. So I feel like it's a
very relatable song.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I love this one because obviously I would never take
these for granted. From that same record for Volume one,
Don't Waste a Prayer, I would tell a great message.
And honestly, you come from that that church, your faithful background,
which most people do no doubt believe in that higher
power no matter what denomination. What a great song.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, thank you. I I'm in love with that song.
And I wanted to tell the story of like redemption,
Like there's so many.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
People who feel like they can't go back to the
Lord or they feel like lost and don't know how
to see their way out of it. So I wanted
to start that the song from that place and have
the ending be like God's always got you, and even
if you feel like for some reason, like not some reason,
but for some people, they feel like they don't want
to waste a prayer, they feel like they're not good enough.
(15:25):
And this song I wanted people to hear like even
if you feel like that, which I don't always pray,
like even when you don't feel like you're worthied or
wherever you're at mentally or emotionally. But some like my
mother saying a prayer in the song, like that's what
you know, takes me to Heaven. That's what bridges the
(15:46):
gap of where I was at. It's just a story
of how people deal with like lost in rough times
and still finding a happy ending and leading back to God.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
And you know what, that's what we say, don't waste
a prayer because that, to common theme cannot be said
enough out there too, and make them, make them count too.
He's like I said, he hears every prayer out there too,
and he answers when he gets around to him. Kind
of like that old songs Unanswered Prayers from Darth Brooks.
So one of those songs that you may think he's listening,
but he is listening throughout there. Bad Girl Bible Volume two,
the Lost Files out there across all the DSPs. We

favorite super forum Also, what.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
A what a jam? How did this get started? Because
this is just tells such a great story. It's like
a roller coaster ride from start to finish. And man,
when you hit those little uh reels in their instrumentation,
the drums to do what it's doing up tempo, what
you do with your vocals, it is uh lyrically instrumentally,
it's fantastic. Tell us all about this one.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Oh thank You, I've so one of my favorite songs
by Beyonce is flawless, and I love the way that
it makes me feel when I listen to it, like oh,
I can conquer anything. Like I am that woman gives
me confidence, and I wanted to create a song that
would hopefully do that for other people, like when they
would singing and be like, yeah, person, I'm the baddest
on the Truth, on the proof, and the glass put
(21:21):
you on your ass from shot one, and feeling that energy,
feeling that confidence and being able to walk in the
room like yeah, like I'm here, of course I'm like
it's I'm me and having that like confidence and that energy,
and so that's what I wanted to.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Serve up to people.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
You served it up all right too. A lot of
sad when this record came out last September. I couldn't
think of a better song. We talked about this during
Sea Make week out there. Ye see Mayfaest Firing Whiskey
another one of those party songs that has fun out there,
has real meaning and it develops a really resonating with
a lot of fans, and it just really develops from
start to finish, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, yep, that's about someone else I had address on
and I was like, oh man, let me describe like
this experience and and hopefully in a way that's relatable
to other people that.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Have been like, oh man, you walked in like a
wanted man. I knew you were trouble.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Looking for a blessing. When you're putting your hands on me,
it feels like fire and whiskey. And I was like,
I feel like a lot of people will understand where.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
That's coming from.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
And the fire, and like the love or passion you
feel for somebody and and putting that in a song
and being able to sing and dance and have a
great time while you're while you're singing along to it.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Beautiful thing about music, man, Like I said, it is
therapy and you can have a great time doing it
and tell a lot of great stories, which leads me
into a little bit of the songwriting aspect of it.
So tell me about your process, your favorite part walk
me through the rain of Roberts school of one on
one on songwriting.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Oh man, I've wrote. I write in so many different ways.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Sometimes like I'll be I don't drive, so sometimes I'll
be in the passenger seat just working and writing and
singing to myself. Or I'll be like on my piano
and creating chords that sometimes I like to keep as
a ballot, or I'll play it for somebody and they'll
play it on guitar and then we'll come up with
some riffs and.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Some slide parts that I love, and we'll build on that.
Sometimes it starts with some titles that I love that.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Just bring like a motion or a feeling to me.
And then other times I'm just like, oh, I've just
thought of like a fire line. Let me just build
this whole song around this one line.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
I just thought of.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
So it's it's different.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
I will say one thing that I love about writing
in Nashville specifically is that because I write from I
don't typically write based on tracks like I build it
from the ground up. So that's one of the things
I loved about I love about writing in Nashville as
opposed to listening to a track and then writing on
top of the track.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Makes sense, no doubt. Break a heart like this another
one of those songs that you're just like, ouch, man,
it just really hits hits home to its cord. Tell
us all about this one.
Speaker 14 (23:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I've only ever dated one person, and when we broke up,
I was like me, Okay, this is I'd written so
many breakup songs before, but I had.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Never experienced it myself, and so I was like, Oh,
this is what this feels like. Oh this is terrible.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Got to write about this, especially now that I know
what it feels like. It puts you in a different place,
in a different mindset.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
And I wrote that with Liz Rose. We were in
Florida on a beach.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
You know, it was so beautiful outside, and I was like,
it's so gorgeous outside, and wow, I feel terrible on
the inside.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
So let's let's get these lyrics out. Let's let's put
it all out there.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Remember about warm glass eggnog right there? You go, just
pour it in there, make sure it goes down our
good shot of waste. Make sure it goes down smooth
there too. We talked about this too during c A Festwig.
I love this. One of the great things about doing
these follow ups too, is I remember a lot of
the conversation. But for people that may not have caught
the show man, the women's movement right there with you
and now Laney do what she's doing, Hannah Ellis, I mean,
(24:52):
Ashley McBride, Carly Pearce, Ashley Cook, Uh, Megan Baroni talk
about this and now it's girl power and country music,
isn't it.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
Yeah? I love it.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I think it's incredible also to see like the wide
range of the sound of country music that you hear
from all of us women. And I feel like, you know,
you listen to any one of us and you're not
getting the same sound or the same you know, the
same vibe.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
It's not like it's the originality and the authenticity.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
And I feel like people are really loving that, and
I'm glad that we can be the face of country
music and hopefully inspire other women who love country music
to do the same thing.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Let's talk about now we're almost done with the second quarter,
now entering the third quarter of twenty twenty five, crazy,
and now almost at Christmas. We talk about Christmas in July, Yeah,
we talked about Christmas plans to you know, like I said,
have the balance between the family life and spend time
with your mom or dad and then of course, you know,
work and things like that and some goals you're trying
to accomplish by the end of the year. Talk about that.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
For me, Well, my family's with me almost everywhere that
I go, So that's really a blessing.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Like almost anywhere my mother and my father we would
like to experience.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
My career together in these first especially because it's taken
my whole life to get us here, so we like
to celebrate together.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
In terms of like how I split my time, I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I kind of take it day by day, Like I
feel like in this industry, you never really know with
what's gonna pop up from where you're going, and I
feel like, thankfully that we're always together, so we don't
really spend too much time apart.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
And in regards to like what's coming up, I have
a new song coming out in the next few weeks.
I'm really excited about must Sangs over Bent Leaves.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
It's gonna be a new sound, gonna be a new look,
and I'm really excited for people to hear this version
of me and my music. And I call it country
plus because it's not just it's not traditional country at all.
It's traces of country with like a lot of pop,
a lot.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Of hip hop, and this fusion that is authentically like
who I am.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Very authentic too, and I like things that are just
different out there, don't sound the same. Like I said,
varieties a spice of life. We love that too, And
you know the same thing with our food choice is
out there. That's where I'm gonna go with this food question,
because I did get over to Germantown, went to the
baseball game. A three one two pizza. It was like
Chicago style, which was actually really good. Hey, okay to
buy the ballpark. There was another one because I love
(27:13):
a pizza fanatic. I love Italian food. Was was there too.
It was a little more thin crust uh pizza. And
then we went to the diner six floor.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Yeah, where did you go to to eat?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
A new places? Where did we go?
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Oh, that's a great question. I can't even remember. I
feel like everything was such a whirldwind. I'm like, did
I even eat? I remember? I remember going to Red Door.
Where did we eat? Well, I will say what I
usually like to eat at.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
There's so many different places, like in on Broadway. But
then you know in Nashville, of course that the stables
Hattie Bees. Whenever I'm with my family, they like to
go to Hattie Bees. But there's a pancake pantry, which
is really great.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
There's oh, there's so many, it's hard.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
There's the big, big, big bad breakfast. If the list
goes on and on, there's a there's char Yeah, I
can't like list so many. I'm just gonna stop right there.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Drew was actually telling this a little bit. Frowley Monkey.
Was that another one?
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Oh yeah, Drew, I totally forgot. I love the Frothy Monkey.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
That's actually one of the first places I went to
when I went to Nato for the first time.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Then I still go there because.
Speaker 14 (28:24):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I'm looking for a good sweet place too, because I started.
I used to not eat a lot of sweets, but
now with like the I say, cool the belly type thing.
If you've eating the spicy food, you're like, got a
cool the belly. Now I gotta get my.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Baked Bear, the Baked Bear. Have you been to the
Big Bear?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I'm not.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Do you like cookies and ice cream and brownies?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Who does it?
Speaker 14 (28:43):
Right?
Speaker 8 (28:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
If they don't, I'm like, there's something suspect about you.
I love I love sweets. The bakes beer is so
good it cannot go wrong.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Gotta definitely check that out next time too. You know,
this crazy, crazy career goes, you know, so on and
on for you guys too. Like I said, every day
is a new day, And like I said, you guys
are paying your dues in this thing called the music business.
Give me some of the challenges the kind of explain
to fans a little bit because they see the glitz
and glamour on the stage when you guys are performing,
and of course the celebrity type deal and the life
(29:14):
you live, but the work and of course the things
go on behind the scenes, and some challenges that you
go through as an artist to get to where you
want to go in your career.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I feel like, at least the things that I tend
to struggle with this because I'm inspired by so many things.
Condensing that not condensing the vision, but making sure that
I'm creating a specific sound that I love, that people
will understand, a specific vision that is true to me,
but that will hopefully also resonate to other people.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
And trying my best to be positive and inspiration.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
And all the things that I do, which can also
be hard when all days aren't you know, great days.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
And as an independent artist.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Too, which I've been majority of my career, trying to
get resources and things that I didn't know about before
when I didn't have any the experience in the music industry,
and kind of doing my best to build my career
with my team, and also find the right team members
to support me, because I feel like as an artist,
your team is incredibly essential. Like if you don't have
(30:12):
the right team around you, then you're not gonna feel safe,
You're not gonna feel stable. And I've gone through some of,
you know, a few different teams, but I'm in love
with the theme that I have now and I'm incredibly
grateful that they're even working with me in the first place.
But behind all the gliss and glamour, like you were saying,
is sometimes it can.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Be like self doubt. Is this the right song to release?
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Is this the right imagery? Or these the right outfits?
Is this the right storytelling?
Speaker 14 (30:40):
You know?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Am I making the right decisions that it's gonna take
me to the next level? And also work that I'm
really incredibly proud of. So I feel like it's all
those conversations and still having to find a way back
to yourself and say like, this is the vision, this
is who I am, and don't let the things around
you distract.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
You from that goal in that vision.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
That's it be authentic to be true to yourself, no
doubt about it. The Bad Girl Bible, Volume two, the
