With her unique twang and impressive vocal style, Carolynne Poole is an artist we here at Female First are keeping a very close eye on. After she spent several months in Nashville and Los Angeles writing for her forthcoming debut album alongside Grammy award-winning songwriter Jeff Silbar, she returned home in preparations of unleashing her talent on the world.
Singing since the age of 14, she's admitted in her past interview with Female First that the business is a tough one to be in.
"Struggles right from the start from working in the social clubs and juggling late night gigs with studying to moving to London and trying to support myself pursuing a singing career. Battling to have my voice and songs heard and to work with the producers/writers that could help me. Being a young girl living alone in London was hard and I now feel proud of myself for being brave and doing that. Working up the courage to walk into a meeting with powerful industry executives and being confident enough to push my music and tell them why I think this could work is a battle in itself. You have to have a very thick skin."
This June will see Carolynne head back to the States to perform at a country music festival, and with callings for her to take to the stage at venues across the United Kingdom, it's hard to believe she's going to be anything but a huge success.
Speaking about her new record, Carolynne told us: 'I Love You But Shut Up' is a bit of fun country rock n roll! My songs are all written with a cheeky sense of humour and all of them are about people or situations I have encountered and I'm sure most woman out there will know what I'm talking about. There are serious songs I have written from the heart on there but I really wanted to put something fun and pop out there for the girlies!"
Debut single 'I Love You But Shut Up' is officially released on May 31.
