PRESLEY & TAYLOR SHARPEN AND TWIST THE KNIFE WITH NEW SINGLE "STING"

Country newcomers Presley & Taylor today sharpen their blades with the release of their new single, "STING." Remaining loyal to the sister's penchant for honest and emotional lyrics, the track boldly voices the questions many have silently rehearsed in their heads after an ex *seemingly* moves on. Written from a place of unapologetic confidence with an antagonistic, almost smirking perspective, the narrator looks down from the breakup's higher ground, twists the knife and channels the snarling, early-2000s energy of Avril Lavigne. "STING" is defiant, biting, and fearless-proving this duo isn't afraid to turn up the volume or the attitude.
"You know when your best friend gets their heartbroken and your initial reaction is 'WHAT?!?!! THEY broke up with YOU?!!?!!' That part disbelief, part angry feeling was the inspiration for this song- we wanted to harness that spice in the sound of the song and make it a windows down, scream-it-in-your-car, therapeutic type vibe and really bring the drama," shared Presley & Taylor. "Sometimes all the therapy you need is to know that when an ex closes their eyes and all they sees is you...and it really does STING."
Written by Presley & Taylor, Andrew Beason and Emma Place, the contentious track was produced by Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Koe Wetzel, etc.) and is the third release in their new season of music since teaming up with Baylis. It follows "OUT OF THIS DODGE" and the autobiographical ballad "THE KIND OF GIRL," that sends an embracing message to the MILLIONS of Country fans worldwide that aren't native to the South.
The duo has taken stages all across the country, building their base and honing their craft and expanding their audience - and touring schedule, adding festivals like the upcoming BMI Key West Songwriters Festival, Country Stampede and Moon Crush Odie's Beach Vacation to their resume. With more new music on the way, the twosome will be telling their life's story and wearing their hearts on their sleeves.
