The uptempo track is her latest single
Breakout songwriter Ink marks her second release via Big Loud Records/Electric Feel Records with line-dancing groove “Hoedown.” The dance floor-destined “Hoedown” is directly derived from her love of rock and roll and came together spontaneously thanks to the creative process she’s dubbed the “Ink style.”
“I knew it was a hit, because we couldn’t stop dancing. Even the neighbors kept knocking on the door,” she shares, describing the song as, “A good way to introduce me to the world. I like to dance, I like to get the party going, I like to keep the energy up.”
Deeply musical with a genre-less affinity for great songs, the Georgia-born multi-hyphenate infuses twanging instrumentation with rhythmic and lyrical sensibilities plucked from her history as an accomplished producer and songwriter. Anchored by Ink’s raw storytelling and unmistakable tone, the two new tracks introduce a new kind of outlaw: one who rides between tradition and rebellion, armed with turquoise jewelry, black cowboy boots and a heart full of fire.
When it comes to boundary-less country music, Ink is the moment. As one of the go-to lyrical sharpshooters, she’s set to combine her southern roots and storytelling approach with her ability to write songs that appeal to the masses.
Originally born in Frankfurt, Germany, before her mother’s military career moved her family to Columbus, Georgia, and with roots that run deep in the Cherokee and Blackfoot indigenous tribes, Ink’s unique upbringing has influenced her music from a truly distinct perspective. Her musical journey began when she taught herself guitar and hit the city’s streets taking her music to whoever would listen. Ink counts influences ranging from R&B songwriters like Babyface and Tony Henry and the Southern rock of Creedence Clearwater Revival to the confessional songwriting of Lauryn Hill and the godmother of rock herself, Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
