Nashville-based country/pop artist Parker McKay has released her new single “Honest,” out everywhere now. The single, which premiered May 2nd on Billboard, is the follow up to her latest release “This Far,” which is currently on rotation on CMT Music and Radio Disney Country.
“Parker Mckay lays it all on the line in her stirring breakup ballad ‘Honest.‘” – Billboard
“I wrote this song with Adam James and it kind of came out of nowhere,” McKay stated about the writing process. “He started playing this progression on a Wurlitzer at the beginning of a write and I had just been listening to a bunch of rap on the way over and started ad-libbing some rapid phrases over it. The word ‘honest’ came out and we ran with it. This is one of my favorite things I’ve ever written and it was a turning point for me and my artistry.“
“McKay effortlessly goes from smoky-voiced siren to powerhouse vocalist over a shimmering pop-country production in her latest release, “This Far.”‘ – CMT
“‘This Far” is a pop-country jam whose lyrics we can all relate to.” – Taste of Country
