Hannah Ellis That Girl (LP, 180g colored Vinyl, Ltd.)

(Curb Records) 13 tracks, colored 180g vinyl in merlot, limited edition

The Kentucky-born singer's eagerly awaited debut album "That Girl" contains 13 original songs, all penned by the sought-after lyricist. From the clever wordplay of "Wine Country" and "Karma On The Rocks" to the raw vulnerability of "Someone Else's Heartbreak" and "Too Much and Not Enough," Ellis' first album showcases a seasoned songwriter who fully embraces her small-town roots, real-life romance and newfound artistic voice on every level.

YetHannah Ellis is no real newcomer to Nashville. For the past eight years, since moving to the country music capital at the age of 20, she's been doing everything she can (musically) to make a career for herself. Since then, she has written songs for her friend and colleague Carly Pearce, who, like her, comes from Kentucky, but also for Russell Dickerson and Cassandra Pope. She was allowed to go on tour with Carly and even took Dwight Yoakam with her. A few years ago, she paid for an EP herself before being signed to Curb Records.
