Rising country star Kassi Ashton has teamed up with Parker McCollum for a soulful track lamenting a night of mistakes, “Sounds Like Something I’d Say.” The single will be featured on Kassi’s forthcoming deluxe album Made From The Dirt: The Blooms, out April 25 via MCA Nashville.
“Sounds Like Something I’d Say” is steeped in regret, with Kassi and Parker both providing rich, vulnerable vocals as a stripped down-production sets the stage their candid recollection of the night before. On the new song, Kassi shared, “Parker is a great friend of mine and I love his voice. The first time I ever heard him sing this song, we were backstage at the Ryman. I knew I had to cut it and that he had to sing it with me.” Parker added, “Kassi has been one of my favorite singers in Nashville for quite some time. I had a demo in my phone of her singing this song for a few years. After begging her to record it for a long time, she finally said she’d do it if I’d sing on it with her. I’m so glad I decided to do it and I hope it hits all the feels when people hear it.”
With 5 brand-new songs, Made From The Dirt: The Blooms, expands on the gritty, soulful sound of Kassi’s debut album, Made From The Dirt, which was released in September 2024. Upon release, the album received praise from Billboard, People, The Tennessean, Rolling Stone, and more, with the latter describing it as “a statement of personal empowerment by a deft Nashville songwriter.”
2024 was a landmark year for Kassi, who also received an ACM nomination for New Female Artist of the Year and had a Top 40 hit at Country Radio with album track “Called Crazy.” She also hit the road on a headline run and joined Old Dominion, Jamey Johnson, and latest song collaborator Parker McCollum on tour. This spring, Kassi will be joining Jon Pardi on his Honkytonk Hollywood Tour, hitting arenas and amphitheatres nationwide beginning on April 25 in Lubbock, TX.
