KAYLA ADAMS Lights A Fire With Debut Single, "Sober & Sorry"

 

Track Resonating At Radio, Available Via CDX 597 & Play MPE


"She's got the heart of a gypsy and the voice of a star."

 - Andrea Blair, MONTANA WOMAN  

Nashville, TN (June 16, 2014) - Newcomer KAYLA ADAMS is lighting a fire at radio with her debut single, "Sober & Sorry" (SSM Entertainment).  The track, available to radio now via CDX 597 (Track 5) and Play MPE, is a Rock-tinged, straight-shootin' Country girl's answer to good love gone bad.  Written by Adams, Billy Atherholt (Montgomery Gentry, Chris Daughtry) and Pete Nanney (Chris Daughtry),"Sober & Sorry" tells a tale of a woman wronged and vengeance sought.  Inspired by a past relationship, Kayla confides, "I didn't burn his house down, but I wanted to.  Instead, I just walked away."  

   

These matches-getting restless

Don't wanna-feel useless

Kerosene in my truck, been waiting all year to burn somethin' up

You're out-with the guys

Well that ain't no surprise

I'm tired of waiting by the phone

Gonna have a little party of my own

You'll wake up sober and sorry

 

Start a fire, bring the hurt

Pile it up, watch it burn

First the keys to your car

Then your records and your old guitar

All your clothes turned to dust

Every last picture of us

Believe me you'll wake up sober and sorry

 

Adams' voice grabs the listener like a vice; the razor sharp electric guitar of JT Corenflos drives a track that pounds with the prominent bass of Mark Burchfield and the rock-solid beat set by stick master Steve Brewster.  Music City legend Wanda Vick weaves her magic on dobro, mandolin, acoustic guitar and banjo while Jeff Roach slices the keys in counterpoint to Mike Payne's gripping guitar work.  Produced by Marlon Dean Scallan, the single offers an immediacy that demands the listener's attention - and keeps it; heart pounding and a**-kicking.

 

Kayla performed the song for an enthralled crowd at Renegade Radio Nashville All-Star 3rd Anniversary Party during CMA Music Fest Week.  This week, the blond, blue-eyed 24-year-old beauty will visit programmers in New York as she continues her radio promotion tour that has already hit stations in Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee

 

 

RADIO is saying:

 

"In a world of pre-fabricated singers she is a genuine, bona fide artist ... if Nashville is looking for the next big female artist they should feast their eyes and ears on Kayla."

-        Jarrett Jackson, KCJC FM

 

"A breath of fresh air in a musical environment that's primed for someone new, exciting and real.  Her voice, emotion and conviction make Kayla today's newest and brightest ray of sunshine."

-        JR Runyon, KCNY FM 

 

"Kayla Adams is 'spitfire country' and full of energy!"

-        Robert Freeman, WDKN FM

 

"She sings, plays guitar, writes songs and has a fantastic personality.  All the ingredients to be a 'Country Star.'"

-        Tom Duke, KQUS FM
