Music Minute - Tanner Adell: Religion

 

Country-pop star Tanner Adell bares her soul in her new track “Religion,” released in partnership with COLORS, a unique, aesthetic music platform based in Berlin. Written by Tanner Adell, Akil “worldwidefresh” King, Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor and Parker Welling, “Religion - A COLOR SHOW” marks her COLORS debut and paints a deeply personal picture of her relationship with faith and religion, weaving a narrative that feels both intimate and universal. The release follows Adell's appearance on COLORS THREE SIXTY FM, where she joined host and COLORS alumni Shaboozey in the Apple Music Radio studios, shining a light on her inspirations and aspirations. Watch the performance of “Religion” on the COLORS YouTube channel and stream across all DSPs now.   “Following a terrible experience I had, I had to start over with what I believed in and find those little things that helped me feel like I was okay,” said Adell. “This song is really hard for me to get through, it is still a piece of me that is healing. But this song is the start of me healing. I'm not fully there yet, but I think that's something that's really beautiful about the gift that I have - to be able to channel hurt and pain and destruction into a song that not only heals me, but that I know will heal a lot of people.”   LISTEN: “RELIGION”   The release of “Religion” came yesterday, just hours before Adell's first-ever sold-out headlining The Buckle Bunny Tour officially began, kicking off in Dallas, Texas at the House of Blues Dallas. Presented by Crown Royal, the tour sold out within minutes of public onsale, prompting venue upgrades in markets where rooms were available. The Houston Chronicle spoke with Adell ahead of tonight's Houston date, stating, “she exists as a multitude of origins and foundations, perfectly built to place her here, onstage, singing her version of the cowboy blues.” Aptly named after her debut mixtape Buckle Bunny, the 10-stop tour will hit cities like New York City and Chicago and will wrap in Louisville, Ky. on Dec. 13.   Described as “one of the most exciting new voices in country music” (ELLE), Adell has had a monumental year. Following her feature on Beyoncé's COWBOY CARTER album, the country-pop songstress has released a collection of standout tracks, most recently dropping “Silverado” off-cycle prompted by an overwhelming demand from fans. Adell began 2024 with “Whiskey Blues,” a summer-bop that she performed on The Jennifer Hudson Show for her national television debut. Additional track releases include Twisters soundtrack feature “Too Easy” and surprise release “Cowboy Break My Heart,” which she debuted on the 2024 BET Awards. The iconic performance made her the first female country artist to perform on the all-genre awards show, bringing VIBE to state she is “making sure country music remains at the forefront of mainstream conversations.” This year, Adell has also performed on the Macy's 4th of July Spectacular and presented at the 2024 CMT Awards and 2024 People's Choice Country Awards. Deemed one of seven artists shaping the sound of 2024 by The New York Times and a 2024 CMT Next Women of Country artist with over 200M global streams and counting, Adell has solidified her place in the music industry. She has played at some of the biggest domestic and international festivals this year including C2C, Stagecoach, Faster Horses and Hangout Festival, most recently making a trip to Australia for Ridin' Hearts Festival. Keep up with Adell on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Twitter.
