Wilson plays the "Rebel"
A co-writer on all 16 tracks, Wilson's music is rooted in both country and Christian music with the album co-produced by Jeff Pardo and Jonathan Smith.
Wilson released the song "God & Country" today. Co-penned with Jeff, Matthew West and Trannie Anderson, the track showcases both sides of Wilson as an artist and the faith-infused country on the full-length release.
"I've got a good life down here, but a better one waiting up above meshe said.
"I can't wait for everyone to hear these brand new songs on April 19," said Wilson. "I've been working so hard over the past 15 months to write these songs, record them and get them into the world. I was raised on two things: the love of God and the love of all things country. That's what fuels the music I make and that's what you'll hear more of on 'Rebel.' I'm just so excited we are this close to releasing the record."
"Rain In The Rearview," co-written with West, Jaren Johnston of The Cadeillac Three and Zach Kale, is her current single. The music video for the track debuted last Friday, just days after Wilson was revealed as a member of the 2024 CMT Next Women of Country class. Meanwhile,
Wilson will be on the road as direct support on Scotty McCreery's Cab In A Solo Tour. Come summer, Wilson will grace the stages of both country and Christian music festivals including Tortuga Festival, Big As Texas Fest, Country Concert, Alive Music Festival and Kingdom Bound.
Wilson, a Lexington, Ky. native, delivered her first public performance at 15, singing "What a Beautiful Name" at her brother's funeral. Her 2021 debut single ,"My Jesus," went Platinum and was number one on Billboard's Christian Airplay chart. She also scored a GRAMMY nomination for her 2022 debut album "My Jesus."
