The award-winning Canadian-Nashville artist continues to build a catalogue of emotionally resonant and compelling country, and with its infectious melody, soulful vocals, and diary-like lyrics, &#8220;Mending Heart&#8221; is striking a chord with listeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Produced by award-nominated producer Adam Newcomb, &#8220;Mending Heart&#8221; channels the emotional depth and relatability of artists like Megan Moroney and Kelsea Ballerini, blending sliding steel guitar with a modern pulse. The track sparked industry buzz ahead of its release, earning a spotlight premiere on Nashville&#8217;s digital outlet The Women of Country, known for featuring top rising and established female stars in country music. Since then, the single has received major support on SiriusXM&#8217;s Top of the Country radio chart, amassed over half a million global streams, and marked Elyse&#8217;s digital Billboard debut on the iconic Nashville Sign-further cementing her growing presence in Music City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We have songs about falling in love and songs about heartbreak, but I wanted to write about the middle-that emotional, freeing place where you&#8217;re finally starting to pick yourself back up, knowing something better is ahead. I really poured myself into this one, especially in the studio. I love making songs that are fun and full of energy, but it&#8217;s just as important for me to create music that can heal others the way it heals me. &#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ABOUT ELYSE SAUNDERS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rising country star Elyse Saunders is the 2024 CMA Ontario Female Artist of the Year and a multi-award-winning artist with nearly 5 million streams.
