MULTI-PLATINUM STAR K. MICHELLE SADDLES UP FOR A WILD RIDE ON BLAZING NEW SONG “YODEL”
NASHVILLE, TN – Today, MULTI-PLATINUM star K. Michelle unleashes “Yodel” — a bold and blazing standout from her upcoming album Jesus & Whiskey (due out October 16). Spotlighting her tour-de-force yodeling skills, the full-tilt thrill ride puts a brilliant twist on classic cowboy iconography. Go here to listen to “Yodel” now.
Written by K. Michelle, Tomy Gé, Kelly Sheehan, David Mescon, and Thomas Edwards, “Yodel” pairs her larger-than-life storytelling with the virtuosic yodeling talents that earned her a music scholarship to Florida A&M University as a teenager. As she dreams up a cowboy who can match her fearless spirit and stamina, K. Michelle serves up one of the most unapologetically fun moments on Jesus & Whiskey — the first-ever Country album from the Memphis-bred singer/songwriter, set for release via Real Outlawz Records, Inc. under exclusive license to This Is Hit, Inc. d/b/a BBR Music Group.

Produced by Kristian Bush, “Yodel” comes in hot with a rapid-fire rhythm and feverish acoustic guitar as K. Michelle sets her sights on a mysterious outlaw who’s captured her fascination (from the first verse: “When it comes to love, I’ve been a rambler on the run / His legend got me burning hotter than a Texas sun”). As the song barrels ahead at breathless speed, she quickly claims full control over the fantasy and bends timeless cowboy mythology to her own desires, brushing off all the men who’ve let her down in the past (“Pretty boys and city boys, they left the job half done / I’m dusting off my boots so I can get back where I’m from”). Not only a dizzying display of her yodeling prowess, the high-octane anthem finds K. Michelle’s commanding vocals shifting from a honeyed honky-tonk drawl to rough-and-ready talk-singing — ultimately amplifying her unstoppable mix of sensuality, swagger, and unbridled soul.
The seventh studio album from K. Michelle, Jesus & Whiskey is the latest addition to a formidable catalog that includes five consecutive Billboard-charting LPs, beginning with her GOLD-certified 2013 debut Rebellious Soul. Earlier this summer, the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star and multi-hyphenate powerhouse shared the title track from Jesus & Whiskey: a guitar-drenched slow-burner about reclaiming faith on her own terms. Daringly personal and wildly eclectic, the highly anticipated nine-song project will also include “Jack Daniel’s” — a raw and fiery track that marked K. Michelle’s first full-fledged embrace of her deep-seated Country roots.
