After a brief hiatus, Caitlyn Shadbolt returns with her new single, “Country Music Never Made More Sense”. The track is a tongue in cheek ode to country music and features a powerhouse line up with Melanie Dyer, Sammy White and Sarah Buckley. The track which was penned on a girls’ songwriting weekend was co-written with all plus Camille Trail.
Working with MSquared on the production of the single, Caitlyn describes it, “‘I got together with the girls for a writing weekend. We planned to be all professional and split into groups and write in the studio, but we ended up having a couple of wines and writing this song around the fire! I feel like this song is extra relevant right now as country music is cranking and it’s never made more sense!”
Caitlyn Shadbolt is one of Australia’s leading contemporary country artists and preferred songwriter.
