Skyrocketing independent country artist Tanner Adell has released her brand new single, “Whiskey Blues,” which is available everywhere now.
”Whiskey Blues” marks the first solo release from Adell for 2024, setting into motion what is set to be her biggest year yet.
Written by Adell, Akil “worldwidefresh” King, Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor, Will Weatherly and Anthony Germaine White “J. White Did It,” the new song features a tempo-driven, pop-induced aggressiveness that stretches the boundary lines of modern Country. “Whiskey Blues” features a melody that admirably compliments the urgency of her voice as she traces the unsuccessful, toxic vices she’s been leaning into to try and get him off her mind. Wallowing in overthinking while dissecting the balance of her emotions, her pristine vocal performance takes her very real feelings and wraps them around an irresistible rhythm that will not only relate to the broken-hearted listener but will keep them listening.
Fans can catch Adell getting her rage out in style in the accompanying music video, which can be found below. She will also join CBS Mornings with Gayle King, Tony Dokoupil and Nate Burleson this Tuesday (4/16) during the 8 a.m. hour to chat about the song.
Only a few months into the new year, Adell has experienced several exponential milestones in her blossoming career. Just last week, the 2024 CMT Next Women of Country artist graced the 2024 CMT Awards stage as a presenter.
She also made her Billboard Hot 100 debut with “BLACKBIIRD,” her collaboration on Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER album. Adell’s Spotify monthly listeners have shot up to 8.3M following the album release, which marks a 1,500%+ increase in just a few weeks. Meanwhile, her hit “Buckle Bunny” has contributed to her nearly 85M global career streams.
The singer-songwriter released her debut mixtape, Buckle Bunny, last summer, an eight song collection filled with female-empowerment anthems that keep their roots in Country while infusing a blend of pop vocals and hip-hop beats. As a co-writer on each carefully curated track, Adell spilled out energetic tunes that draw upon her personal narrative as a biracial woman embracing the truest version of herself. Adell followed up with Buckle Bunny Deluxe featuring “Backroad” and breakout hit “Luke Combs.” Finally concluding the Buckle Bunny era was the sultry, acoustic Buckle Bunny Stripped, a reimagined emotional take on Adell’s debut EP that pulls back the layers on the glamorous anthems.
Next up, she will bring her infectious live performance to some of the biggest domestic and international festivals including Stagecoach, Faster Horses, Golden Sky and Hangout Festival. Keep up with Adell on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Twitter.
