We were writing about rising Country sensation Cali Tucker last year, celebrating ‘Country Couture’ as “a silky-smooth piece of country-pop brilliance”. We stand by our words, Tucker is doing something right here, penning relatable, catchy and vibrant gems that are actually connecting with a wider audience; her ever-growing fanbase is the strongest evidence of that. Today, the talented American songstress returns with her latest effort, a slice of elegance and evocative energy delivered by anthemic vocals and meaningful lyricism.
Partly drawn from personal experience, ‘Last Name’ seeks to empower listeners in being true to who they are, sparking a fierce and unapologetic journey towards authenticity and resilience. From a sonic standpoint, the track is hyper contemporary, with country-pop songwriting balanced by hip-hop-flavoured grooves and an overall mainstream production. It’s the perfect effort for Tucker, helping direct her attention to a nationwide fanbase.
The daughter of 1970s hitmaker LaCosta Tucker and niece of the legendary Tanya Tucker, Cali shares a rather honourable family lineage; no wonder she’s so talented. Delving deeper into ‘Last Name’, Tucker explains: “I want people to know – whoever you want to be, whatever you want to do, it’s within your reach.” Another wonderful effort by the Las Vegas-based artist, we can’t wait to see what’s next!
