Music Minute - Lily Rose: Seein' Blue

Known for her candid storytelling and rich vocal tone, trailblazing country artist Lily Rose continues to push boundaries with her most recent release “Seein' Blue,” out now. Co-written by Rose with Joybeth Taylor, Michael Whitworth and Will Weatherly with production by Paul DiGiovanni, “Seein' Blue” flips heartbreak on its head as a slow-burning gut punch that trades red-hot revenge with ice-cold clarity.
 
 
“Whenever I walk into a writing session, my goal is to come out with a song that hits three criteria: I can't wait to play it live, I'm obsessed with the lyrics and I can't stop listening to the demo,” shares Rose. “To say that 'Seein' Blue' checked those boxes is an understatement. From Will Weatherly's demo, to Paul's full production, this is one of my favorite songs I've ever been a part of!”
 
With vivid imagery – blue neon lights, faded blue jeans, and a blue moon – Rose captures the quiet intensity that chills rather than burns. Much like her breakout hit “Villain,” she resists the urge to cast blame, instead delivering a steady, self-aware take on heartbreak that lets honesty and clarity carry the emotional weight.
 
Earlier this year, Rose released “Let You Know When I Get There,” praised by Country Swag as “one of Rose's most impressive releases to date.” She followed that up with the “I Know What I Want,” which Country Now credited showcased her “signature country twang seeping through her vocals.” She continues to bring her “distinct, dusky, conversational vocal style” (Billboard) to audiences nationwide on her Runnin' Outta Time Tour as it continues on its 14-stop trek across the country with special guest Payton Smith.

Named an artist to watch by CMT, MusicRow and Amazon, the Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist by GLAAD and an ACM nominee continues to carve a path uniquely her own. For dates and more information, visit lilyrosemusic.net and keep up with her on InstagramTikTok and YouTube.

ABOUT LILY ROSE:
Atlanta, Georgia native Lily Rose burst onto the scene with her viral hit “Villain,” instantly propelling her into the national spotlight almost overnight. She quickly found herself touring with country's hottest stars as she hungrily chased down her dreams and married her wife Daira in 2023. Amidst the whirlwind of success, Lily felt a tug to reassess her priorities and find balance between her career aspirations and personal fulfillment. Out of that period of reflection comes the long-awaited EP and Lily's first batch of new music since 2022, Runnin' Outta Time, out now. A co-writer on each track, it's Lily at her most personal and honest, bundling her beliefs and contradictions into six new songs that explain who she is, where she came from and where she's heading. It's the perfect soundtrack for the intense push and pull in Lily's life and a potent reminder of how important it is to take a breath and focus on the things that matter most. In this new chapter, Lily embodies the classic dichotomy between Saturday-night energy and Sunday-morning contemplation.

Lily has been on multiple tours with fellow stylistic maverick Sam Hunt and opened shows for country-pop icon Shania Twain, and even experienced her own global pop moment when she sang on Diplo's 2023 EDM-country banger “Sad in the Summer” as she introduced herself to a whole new group of fans through performances on NBC's The Voice and ABC's Good Morning America. She's already been nominated for ACM Best New Female Artist and took home GLAAD's Outstanding Breakthrough Artist Award in 2022, and now, she emerges with a crisp, edgy new sound and a renewed understanding of what matters most to her. It's obvious that her dedication to authenticity and personal growth shines through in every note, “I really wanted to achieve and keep achieving and came to realize that it's not the most important thing,” Lily says. “What I need to achieve most is to be a good wife and a good daughter and a good friend — that will keep fueling the fire for the rest of my career.”
