Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Elise Davis Premieres New Song “Married Young”
American country singer-songwriter Elise Davis has released a new song “Married Young”. The song was premiered exclusively on Billboard.
The track will appear on her forthcoming sophomore album "Cactus", which is set to be released in September 2018.
From the album, the first single "Don't Bring Me Flowers" was released last month.
It was written by Elise Davis, Erin Enderlin and Alex Kline. The song is Erin Enderlin's story.
Elise Davis told Billboard about the song;
"Erin got married when she was young, and we were talking about that. I was talking to her about this person I was seeing when I was 20 years old, living in a shitty little apartment. He exposed me to Tom Waits and vinyl and stuff like that. So (the song is) a merging of the fact she got married when she was young; The chorus is about that, and the rest of the song is nostalgia from this relationship I had when I was young.
I thought about sending it to him. I haven't done it, but when he hears the verses he'll know exactly what I'm talking about."- Elise Davis debuted with the first album "The Token" in 2016. This time, she wrote 50 songs for the new album.
"There's a heavy theme of a person feeling like a lone wolf," she explains. "I had a group of about 50 songs in front of me, and I noticed that my favorite ones were often coming from that perspective, this kind of voice that was independent, on purpose. That's what I consider the theme of the album overall. It's always been natural when I write to be bold. I like singing about being sexually liberated, and I think a lot of that sexual liberation vibe adds to that confidence in this lone wolf persona." - source : Billboard
