Kellie Pickler Gives Insight Into Her Emotional Connection to New Song “Someone Somewhere Tonight.”

Most often, when I see Kellie Pickler, she is being low key, silly and a whole lot of fun. She is obviously a laid back kind of gal with a really great sense of humor. That being said, it’s interesting to see the flip side of that, and hear her being more serious and insightful. In a recent video posted on her YouTube channel, Pickler is filling in fans on her emotional connection to new song “Someone Somewhere Tonight,” and the story behind the lyrics. It hasn’t been released yet, but this will definitely make you excited to hear more. Check it out below!

Giveaway: Get New Music from New Country Artist Jessta James!

There’s a new country music artist in town, and he’s bringing a fresh, genre bending sound with him! Montana born and raised Jessta James‘ personal brand of country travels a road a little different from either the traditional or current mainstream pop-leaning country most fans are used to. Featuring a heaping of hip hop and a little more than a dash of rock, Jessta skillfully blends these genres together, and the result is authentic and organic, coming straight from the heart.

On his upcoming release, Time To Get Right, listeners will find stories and themes in the song’s lyrics that are every day and rooted in personal experience. They will find a collection of tracks that showcase a range from high energy party anthems like “If That Ain’t Country” and “Back In The Day” to slower paced more touching tunes like “Better Man” and “I Can’t Stop Loving You.” They will find, laid out in one record, an artist’s life journey and lessons learned (to this point).

While Jessta’s sound is probably a little different than what you’re used to, I highly encourage you to give him a listen! CMNB is even going to make that just a little bit easier for you by giving you a free download of “Outlaw Heaven” from the upcoming release!

Get some great new music from Jessta James by entering below!
