“hummingbird” is accompanied by a stunning music video, which emphasizes the track’s traditional country sound and sets the tone for Carly’s creative vision ahead of the upcoming album. Watch the video for “hummingbird” HERE.
Produced by Pearce, Shane McAnally, and Josh Osborne, hummingbird marks Pearce’s debut as a co-producer and fully represents her new musical chapter – one of forward motion.
Discussing her inspirations for the hummingbird album, Pearce says, “I have lived a lot of life in the last few years. Entering a new decade has brought a lot of maturity, growth, heartache, and healing. I am still a work in progress, but these songs represent my honesty, playfulness, and openness to keep growing.”
Following the success of her last studio album 29: Written In Stone, Pearce fully leans into her authentic country sound encompassed by the symbolism of the hummingbird which represents the album’s themes of growth, humility, understanding, playfulness, and optimism.
Of the album’s title track, “hummingbird,” Pearce says, “When I wrote this song, I knew I wanted this to be the title of the album. This song plays on my bluegrass roots but also lyrically tells the story of the journey I am on of finding love. This is the most unapologetically ‘Carly’ song I’ve ever written.”
The full hummingbird track list is below, which includes Pearce’s GRAMMY®-nominated, Top 20-and-rising single “we don’t fight anymore” featuring Chris Stapleton. The critically acclaimed song is officially RIAA GOLD-certified today. Praise for the track includes:
