Nashville, Tenn. — Country duo SmithField, composed of lifelong friends Jenn Fielder and Trey Smith, are celebrating the culmination of ten years of music with the release of their debut album, Country With Heart (Part One), available everywhere today, Friday, May 24, 2024. Capturing their introspective and endearing lyrics and expertly blended harmonies with the seven track project, SmithField look to reignite the impactful storytelling country music is known for. The duo gave a sneak peak of the new music last night to a packed house at the Analog in Nashville. Stream Country With Heart (Part One) now.
“We like to say our music is inviting you to sit down and have a cup of coffee with us,” the duo shared. “We talk intimately about life, loss, family, friends, relationships, the highs and lows and everything in between. The music comes from our heart. It’s our kind of country music. We’re not chasing anything, we are being authentically ourselves.”
Produced by Trey, a first for him, the record solidifies years of hard work and endless passion. With songwriting at its core, the album features some of Nashville’s most distinguished songwriters in the genre, including Trannie Anderson (Reba McEntire, Lainey Wilson, Dan + Shay), Dave Cohen (Brooks & Dunn, Carrie Underwood, Old Dominion), Bobby Hamrick (Tim McGraw, Luke Bryan, Faith Hill), Adam Wood (Lee Brice, Trace Adkins, Scotty McCreery), Ava Suppelsa (Keith Urban) and Brian Bunn (Lee Brice, Nate Smith, Parmalee), among others.
Evocative ballads such as “Hells A Heartbreak” and “Don’t Know Myself,” invoke a strong emotional response as they contemplate life after heartbreak with a rare sense of authenticity and emotion. The album ends with the optimistic “What I Got,” which details just how important the little things are in life. The sentimental music video premiered this morning and was later featured by CMT. From start to finish, each track on this album is crafted with genuine care, capturing the essence of their individual journeys and the collective moments that have shaped their lives.
Rooted in stunning harmonies and heartfelt songwriting, SmithField, are a modern country duo inspired by one of country music’s long-standing legacies: the male-female duet. Hailing from a small town in Texas, where they met at the age of 10, they formed a musical bond early on. After moving to Music City, their song “Hey Whiskey,” a Sirius XM radio ‘Highway Find’ in 2018 launched the duo into critically acclaimed artists that Rolling Stone, Billboard, People and Forbes have raved about and called ‘Ones To Watch’ in country music and have performed at the Grand Ole Opry over 40 times. They have opened for some of country music’s biggest acts including Old Dominion, Kane Brown, Brothers Osborne, Dustin Lynch, Morgan Wallen, and are currently supporting Josh Turner’s Greatest Hits tour. More information on dates and tickets can be found here. To kick off 2024, they celebrated the major milestone of over 100 million global streams which only looks to strengthen with the release of their debut project.
