Country music sister duo set to release new song
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.
