CMA Awards week means a ton of industry events in Nashville, and one of them took place yesterday with CMT’s Next Women Of Country showcase. CMT’s Next Women Of Country was launched in January, “dedicated to showcasing the new generation of signed and unsigned female artists across CMT platforms and at Nextwomen.CMT.com.” Both Lauren Alaina and Danielle Bradbery performed, with Lauren debuting a new song and Danielle performed her current t30 and rising single “The Heart Of Dixie.” Check out video courtesy @chriswillman (cwillman):
Danielle Bradbery performs “The Heart Of Dixie”:
The deluxe version of Danielle’s self-titled debut album (which includes her covers of Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus Take The Wheel,” Sara Evans’s “Born To Fly”, Pam Tillis’s “Maybe It Was Memphis, and Jessica Andrews’s “Who I Am) is now available for pre-order, and it’s now possible to download album track “I Will Never Forget You” (co-written by Katrina Elam/, Josh Kear, and Chris Tompkins).

According to a CMT press release, Danielle is the latest addition to the CMT’s Next Women Of Country franchise:
CMT announced Big Machine Records artist Danielle Bradbery would be the newest addition to its NEXT WOMEN OF COUNTRY franchise, joining 15 other females whom CMT promotes on-air and online throughout the year. The network will grow the franchise to include more than a dozen taped performances with Next Women artists throughout the year, which will air on CMT, CMT Pure and CMT.com. In addition, CMT will highlight Bradbery and Brandy Clark as part of its upcoming LISTEN UP series, a multi-platform franchise that showcases artists on the verge of breaking out.
Lauren Alaina debuted “Same Day, Different Bottle,” which according to EW’s Grady Smith is cowritten by Lauren with Caitlyn Smith and Dan Couch:
According to CMT.com’s recap, Lauren discussed working on her songwriting since American Idol. She hasn’t released a single to country since “Barefoot & Buckwild” peaked at #57 on the Billboard Country Airplay Chart. “Same Day, Different Bottle” is a country/pop weeper in which Lauren sings about someone else’s alcohol addiction, and it’s a far cry from the aggressive pop/rock stylings of “Barefoot & Buckwild.”
