Nashville, TN (October 1, 2023) – Folk-Americana singer/songwriter and recording artist Lindsey Hinkle recently released her newest single called “Sense of Reality.” You can listen to the song HERE!
With endearing lyrics like I get so nervous when you’re around, butterflies keep my feet off the ground, “Sense of Reality” tells a stunning story about unexpected love.
“I wrote this song about a crush I had on a co-worker,” Lindsey shared. “I had a photo I took of us and realized I was in love with someone, who I thought, was way out of my league. Turns out she wasn’t and that feeling was surreal – like no high I’d ever felt at the time. Playing this song for her launched what would be the beginning of my longest relationship to date.”
In addition to releasing her own music, Lindsey is also a published songwriter and is excited to announce that Drake White and Colbie Caillat will be releasing “Power of a Woman” (written by Lindsey Hinkle, Drake White, and Kelli Johnson) on October 7th.
