Taylor Ashton has teamed up with Benjamin Lazar Davis on new Single “Country Radio” out now!
From Taylor: "Please play my song on the country radio, (or any station for that matter). I wrote “country radio” while ruminating on how increasingly out of reach it is for somebody of my generation to earn enough money to buy a house without some serious generational wealth, and also, I heard once that the only genre still making money with recorded music is pop country. And while “country” has always been an ingredient in what I do, (and I plead “not guilty” to the pleasure and inspiration I take from well crafted, unabashed pop country music), this is the first time I’ve really tried fully inhabiting its stylistic world in a more exposed way. My friend Benjamin Lazar Davis is an earnest worshipper of pop country too, probably way more than me, so he got really excited when I played him this song. We both share an admiration for the boldness of the genre, how it knows exactly what it is, and isn’t shy about using a huge hook to talk about big feelings. I think the song is still very me, and the production is definitely very Ben, but I think if some pop radio DJs wanted to help us send this to number one I believe it could lovingly hold its own among the most sepia-toned backroad tailgate anthems out there. And if lightning strikes and this song buys me a house, I promise to host tons of sweet dinner parties and let every touring musician crash in the guest room."

"'Pretenders" was one of the first songs I wrote for 'The Romantic', and it's a love song, maybe with a sort of modern twist of honesty. Melodically, it's influenced by "crooked" traditional old-time tunes - I'm so inspired by the way some of those old songs and fiddle tunes have secretly squirrelly musical sections -- there will be an extra beat here, or an "out" note there, but it's not there to stick out or sound weird, it's just there because that's how it goes. Traditional folk music has a way of covertly being more complex than it sounds, and I tried to emulate some of that in what's essentially a pop love song." - Taylor Ashton
