7 Must-Hear New Country Songs: Hailey Whitters, Willow Avalon, Sierra Hull, Lanie Gardner & More
This week's crop of new songs features music from Hailey Whitters, Lanie Gardner, Sierra Hull, Willow Avalon and more.
Women artists lead this week’s crop of stellar new songs, including Hailey Whitters ‘ somber examination of grief and friendship, as well as Sierra Hull’s shimmering new bluegrass offering and Lanie Gardner’s raw, rock-fueled new track. Northern California native Olivia Wolf transcends the boundaries between temporal and the ethereal, blending incisive, observant lyricism with elements of bluegrass, folk and country. Backed by sparse guitar, she ponders the fast-arriving sense of loss on lyrics such as “I won’t be here tomorrow/ But this midnight is ours.” Her voice is imbued with an earthy elegance as the song slowly builds around her, frothing into dramatic tension before concluding with a feeling of stoic resignation as she sings, “It’s heavy sometimes seeing behind the veil.” This album marks Wolf as an astute singer-songwriter well worth listening to.
