(Nashville, TN – May 1, 2025) Rising country artist Tyra Madison is proud to share her newest single, “Kentucky In Me.” Steeped in southern pride and true authenticity, the track is a heartfelt tribute to Tyra’s home state, capturing the spirit, strength, and soul that have shaped her identity.
Produced by David Kalmusky and written by Tyra Madison, Terri Jo Box, and David Kalmusky, the single is now streaming worldwide here.
Built on a richly textured, down-home sound with twang, bluegrass, and rhythm at its core, “Kentucky In Me” is both deeply personal and universally relatable — an anthem for anyone who carries the spirit of their roots wherever they go. Tyra’s vivid storytelling and soaring vocals paint a picture of small-town resilience and unwavering authenticity.
“It’s an ode to my old Kentucky home,” says Tyra. “The song has hints of bluegrass in it, which is what I grew up on. You bleed blue, work hard, and love hard. Everyone has their hometown song, and this is mine.”
The release of “Kentucky In Me” follows Tyra’s recent single “Party Girl,” a track that explores the emotional struggle of concealing inner pain behind a facade of fun and frivolity. The track can be streamed here. Both songs showcase the depth and range fans can expect from her upcoming EP, set to arrive in early summer.
