Warner Music Nashville singer / songwriter Jordyn Shellhart is set to release new song “When Something’s Gotta Give” this Friday (April 7).
The new song marks the third offering off her forthcoming label-debut album Primrose, which will be available everywhere May 19th.
Shellhart co-wrote “When Something’s Gotta Give” with Marc Beeson and Allen Shamblin, the same lauded songwriters that she wrote her debut song “Who Are You Mad At” which released January 27th and was touted by Billboard as a “stellar track” adding that the song showcased Shellhart “as an introspective, mature writer and a skilled vocalist.”
Pulling foundational inspiration from artists such as Emmylou Harris and Kris Kristofferson and modern sensibilities of Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves, Shellhart has country music in her blood. Born in Wyoming and ultimately ending up in Nashville at the age of 10, Shellhart was thrown into the scene with a publishing deal at 14, followed by a record deal, Grand Ole Opry debut at 15 and on a country-wide tour by 16. In an anti-climactic, heartbreaking plot twist, she lost her voice in the midst of it all.
Through a good number of twists, turns and worldview shakeups, she found herself singing again and racking up credits as a songwriter, including Little Big Town’s Grammy-nominated “Sugar Coat” and songs recorded by Kelsea Ballerini, Cody Johnson, Don Williams and more. Now, Shellhart is ready to share her music through her own voice. “Who Are You Mad At” is just the beginning for this dreamer, with more original music set to release this year.
