With Big Loud / Back Blocks Music Country artist Ashley Cooke, it's best to know what you're getting into- because this emerging star is the definition of more than meets the eye. Skillfully crafted lyrics and a knack for unforgettable performance. Effortless vocal beauty and a bold sense of internal grit, freely mixing it up with the boys while she rallies the girls. And most important, a passion for capturing the magic between heartbeats, each moment as unique as she is. Still early in her journey, being herself has already served Cooke well. It has led to over 419M global streams with chart climbing hits like "Never Til Now" with Brett Young, Ryan and Grand Ole Opry debuts, national TV appearances on ABC's The Bachelorette and NBC's TODAY, tours with Luke Bryan, Jordan Davis and more.
And now, the next chapter begins with her 2023 debut, shot in the dark. Unfolding as if they were ripped from pages of her personal journal, Cooke's sun-kissed blend of two-lane pop Country is on full display in the collections 24 tracks, inspired by true tales of love, heartbreak and all moments in between. The striking debut has already garnered Cooke praise from Billboard who named her the July 2023 Rookie of the Month, with additional praise pouring in from People, American Songwriter, the Tennessean and more. Meanwhile, her award-winning single "your place" continues to take her career to new heights as she notches her first career No. 1 song at Country radio.
