Kassi Ashton releases the acoustic version of “Sounds Like Something I’d Say” featuring Parker McCollum today via MCA, stripping the fan-favorite track down to acoustic guitar and the duo’s unmistakable vocals. Originally part of her deluxe album ‘Made From The Dirt: The Blooms,’ the song built its following through multiple viral live performances on tour before landing here, in a rendition that trades polished production for the kind of raw, room-filling chemistry that the original only hinted at. “Country music is and has always been about the song at its rawest form,” Ashton says. “This is the best way to honor that.”
Listeners are already calling it the definitive version of the track, a spare and honest recording that lets the song’s sharp wit and emotional undercurrent do all the work. The release opens a big year for Ashton, whose fearless storytelling, powerhouse vocals, and genre-blurring edge have earned praise from Rolling Stone (“a devilish songwriter who isn’t afraid to flip convention on its head”), PEOPLE (“in line for Nashville domination”), and PAPER Magazine (“the next big country superstar”). New music and tour dates are on the way.
