“Boat Friend,” written by Mallory with Greg Becker and Mike Shimshack, is the single release from Mallory’s self-titled EP now available via Spotify.
“Two summers ago, I was in a Jeep with my girlfriends when one of the girls said ‘I really wanna be single this summer but we need to find some guys with a boat,’ and I said ‘You don’t want a boyfriend, you need a boat friend.’ Everyone laughed and I immediately knew I was going to write that song,” said Mallory.
At 24, the Okolona, Miss native is already making her mark within the music industry. In 2010, Mallory won a position on Simon Fuller’s If I Can Dream series on Hulu.com and later became a contestant on the eleventh season of American Idol. Mallory has since been the opening act for Loretta Lynn, Jake Owen, and more. Additionally, she is already earning herself a name within the songwriting community and has co-written cuts with Kip Moore and Dan Couch.
