Allison Asarch Defies Industry Norms with New Single “Better with Time”

Nashville, TN (January 24, 2025) – Rising country-pop artist Allison Asarch proudly announces the release of her empowering new single, Better with Time,” now available on all streaming platforms! Co-written with Paige Ruderman and Casey McMillan, the song is an anthem of resilience and a tribute to the strength of women who thrive despite the odds.

“Better with Time” was inspired by a pivotal moment in Asarch’s career. At the age of 27, she faced rejection from a representative of a major management company who dismissed her potential, claiming, “Women don’t make it in country music after 29.” Two years later, a different scout from the same company offered a renewed opportunity, but Asarch declined, standing firm in her values.
 

“This industry changes daily, and if you still believe age is a factor in music, you’re dating yourself,” Asarch says. “I’ve been surrounded by so many badass women in this industry who truly get better with time. Writing this song with Casey and Paige felt natural. Once we had the idea, we ran with it and never looked back. This song is one of my favorites I’ve ever written, and I’m incredibly proud of it.”
 

As Asarch sings, “Like childhood homes, hand-me-down guitars / Vintage boots and classic cars / Might not be new, but they’re better used,” the song beautifully weaves nostalgia and growth into a powerful narrative. This anthem celebrates the belief that, just like these cherished objects, people too become richer, deeper, and more meaningful with time.
 

With its heartfelt lyrics, uplifting melody, and poignant message, “Better with Time” is poised to resonate with audiences, particularly women who have been underestimated or told their dreams had an expiration date.

Nashville, TN (November 8, 2024) – British country-pop sensation Twinnie unveils her highly anticipated new album, ‘Something We Used to Say,’ a powerful collection marking the end of her “Sad Girl Era” and a bold leap into a vibrant new chapter. This personal album explores heartbreak, resilience, and rediscovery, with relatable storytelling and irresistible hooks that invite listeners into her world. The album has already made waves, debuting at #1 on the UK iTunes Country Chart—a testament to her growing impact in both the UK and Nashville scenes.

Holler praises ‘Something We Used to Say’ as “a brilliant new 22-track album,” celebrating Twinnie as a “Brit Country superstar” and declaring it “a late contender for pop country album of the year.”

Critics agree that Twinnie’s storytelling and dynamic style set ‘Something We Used to Say’ apart. Goldmine’s Warren Kurtz raves, “From the country that brought us Twiggy in the ‘60s, here’s Twinnie, with an amazing 22 songs on her new album today, immediately engaging with the up-tempo opener ‘Lonely Song.’ There’s a Taylor Swift sound in the catchy ‘Hypothetically.’ The album’s title song, ‘Something We Used to Say,’ is strong and ‘Paying Interest’ rolls along nicely. Enjoy the positive flow of ‘The Greatest Love Story’ and immerse yourself in the country story song ‘London.’ ‘Fall in Love’ is wonderfully melodic, and the aptly positioned finale, ‘Last Song,’ is delivered with P!nk-like emotion. That’s just a sample of one-third of Twinnie’s new songs. Wow!”

With each track, Twinnie guides listeners through a journey from heartbreak to healing, drawing acclaim from across the music community. Grubs + Grooves calls the album “nothing short of stunning,” while Undiscovered Nashville highlights “Bad Man” as “an anthem for anyone carrying emotional scars into new relationships.” American Songwriter praises her versatility, noting that “Bad Man” reveals Twinnie’s vocal prowess, while “Lonely Long” showcases her softer, reflective side.

Just last week, Twinnie debuted at the Country Music Hall of Fame, performing songs from Something We Used to Say for an electrified audience. Music City Melodies noted, “Twinnie is more than ready to conquer America’s heart, one unforgettable song at a time.”

Known for her bold and witty lyrics, Twinnie had the Hall of Fame crowd laughing with her darkly humorous anthem, “Just Like Earle,” a “twin sister” to The Chicks’ “Goodbye Earl.” Twinnie’s unique sound—described by Music City Melodies as “reminiscent of Gwen Stefani, but with a distinct country edge”—left audiences on their feet.

As Nashville Socialite described after her Hall of Fame set, “Twinnie’s performance was a masterful blend of fun, danceable tracks and deeply moving ballads—like a modern twist on ABBA’s infectious spirit.”

With growing demand from fans worldwide, Twinnie is set to bring her acclaimed new songs directly to audiences in her nearly sold-out Crazy Ex UK tour this month, with shows in London, Manchester, Glasgow, and more.

Nashville, TN (October 17, 2024) – Nashville-based singer-songwriter Brittany Bextonrecently released the gripping music video for her latest single, “Dance with the Devil,” in honor of Domestic Abuse Awareness Month. The video delves into the song’s raw exploration of toxic relationships and aims to spark change by shedding light on the insidious cycle of abuse.
 

Having personally experienced domestic violence, Bexton views this release as a critical part of her advocacy. “Domestic abuse is often a taboo subject, but it impacts so many—both men and women.

The review also highlighted her ability to connect with audiences, drawing parallels to Christian music icon Amy Grant. “Both artists use their talents to offer messages of hope and resilience, connecting with listeners on a deeper emotional level.”
 

The video’s release on Domestic Violence Awareness Day underscores Bexton’s dedication to empowering survivors. “This was the perfect time for the video to debut,” she shares. “It’s my way of speaking the truth about abuse and encouraging others to find their way out.
