Jayson here with my DJ pick of the week from Nashville’s own Caitlyn Smith. I know what you’re thinking, “Jay, will you ever pick an artist NOT from Nashville?”…Probably not.
In a time when everything is big, fast and bombastic, it’s rare to find an artist who can hush a room with just the power of her voice or the will of her pen. Caitlyn Smith, one of Nashville’s most prized writers, is one of them: and, after years spent composing songs for and with everyone from Dolly Parton to Garth Brooks to Meghan Trainor, she’s finally ready to unveil all sides of her enormous talent with her new album Starfire. Long lauded for her ability to whirl pure emotion into unforgettable tracks, Starfire is a raw, visceral journey about love, hardship and the struggle to pave your own way, all anchored by her unforgettable tone. A few minutes of listening and one thing becomes abundantly clear: there is no one better to sing the music of Caitlyn Smith than Smith herself.
Listen to her song “Contact High” below and let us know what you think!
