Country music sister duo set to release new song

- By Press Staff

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Country sister duo Presley & Taylor is set to release a brand new single, “Where You Belong.”

The Middlefiel­d natives, Presley, 22, and Taylor, 20, are signed to the Mercy Music City record label, according to a news release.

Coproduced by famed veteran producer and Music Row label executive James Stroud (Tim McGraw/Reba/Clint Black/ Toby Keith/The Judds/ Chris Young) alongside Keith Burns (founding member of the Grammynomi­nated group, Trick Pony), the serene track is the second in a series of single releases introduced as a preliminar­y sneak peek to the pair’s EP release anticipate­d in 2020, according to a press release.

“Written by D. Vincent Williams, David Borne and Rhett Anthony Glindmeyer, the inviting, tranquil piano opener accompanie­d by whimsical strings complement the sister duo’s crystal clear, angelic vocals. The track takes listeners on a fateful journey to believe in an ultimate and designed destinatio­n. With deep intuitive inflection, Presley & Taylor gracefully reveal their mutual ethereal trust in a higher power,” the release said.

“This is a ‘believe’ song … to remind us to believe in patience, your destiny and life’s journey to deliver you to the exact place where God means for you to be,” Presley said in a prepared statement.

“James Stroud really helped us to capture the sentiment of the song with the addition of piano and strings to embrace the emotion — almost like a symphony echoing in a church,” Taylor said in the release. “We truly love the warmth that the instrument­ation lends to ballad.”

The new single, “Where You Belong,” follows the momentum of the recent release, “Everybody Wanna Be Us.”

Presley & Taylor are on their late summer tour. They performed at the Bloomsburg Fair, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvan­ia, recently, and headlined the 100th Annual Durham Fair in late September.

“Presley & Taylor have a whimsical charm that is beyond beautiful. Characteri­zed by their individual, stellar vocal instrument­s, Godgiven sibling harmonies, stonecold country sound, a sisterly bond and eternal friendship, the pair is separated from other country music entertaine­rs … yet inseparabl­e in performanc­e and in life,” the release said.

Presley & Taylor released their first EP, “All Kinds of Beautiful,” in 2012, at just 14 and 16 years old. The project highlights the song craftsmans­hip of some of Music Row’s most soughtafte­r songwriter­s (Amanda Williams, Rachel Proctor, Donny Kees, Monty Holmes, Doug Johnson and Skip Ewing to name a few), the release said.

As teenagers, they enjoyed early welcome at country radio and among country music enthusiast­s. Their first two singles (“Looking For A Cowboy” / “Kickin’ Back”) achieved Top 40 chart status, while their third release (“While You Were Gone”) ranked at No. 30 on the MusicRow Country Breakout Chart.

Presley & Taylor have shared the stage with awardwinni­ng entertaine­rs and hitmakers such as Martina McBride, Tanya Tucker, Jimmie Allen, Craig Campbell, Mo Pitney and many more.

As members of the 2018 High School Nation Tour, Presley & Taylor performed before more than 30,000 students within a threeweek span, canvassing the map from Charlotte, N.C. to Houston, Texas.
