Ashley Monroe releases Like a Rose
Ashley Monroe promotes her new music video for "Like a Rose" on Warner Music Nashville. The critics consider the album as one of the best traditional country albums in quite some time.
The album was co-produced with Vince Gill. "I just adore her. I think she's one of the most talented young people to come to this town in many years. She has this old soul in the way she writes songs, and she has such an undeniable voice – not unlike Dolly, Alison, or Emmylou," said Vince.
The single "Like a Rose" features a string section and irresistible harmonies from Fairchild and Little Big Town "I felt the strings brought out the pain and the haunting feeling of the melody," Monroe said. "When Little Big Town comes in, it's like a choir of angels. It breaks your heart – in a good way."
"The song is about trying new things in a relationship, and rekindling romance. We wrote it laughing, but I really liked it. It ended up on a compilation CD for Vince, and he said ‘If you don't cut this one, I'm not producing your record.' I said ‘Vince, of all the songs, that's the deal breaker? So, we did it."
