Cali Tucker Shines with Bold New Single “Last Name”
Growing country singer, Cali Tucker is staking her claim to modern country music with her current track, “Last Name.” After exploding onto the scene with her breakout single Country Couture that epitomizes her signature fashion-forward sound combining high glamour, and down-to-earth storytelling, Cali’s new anthem is as fierce as it is relatable.
“Last Name” is a song that sounds both of its time and ahead of it. Though Cali has already established herself with a formula of glamour sprinkled within her music and visuals, this track sees her digging deeper into her artistry. It’s a broom-toting anthem, leaving listeners to imagine their own power as they march along with the singer.The song is about identity and empowerment and personal storytelling, that’s why it’s the type of song that makes you want to open the windows, crank up the volume and soak in every lyric.
Most notable is Cali’s skill in finding the equilibrium between confidence and authenticity. Just as Country Couture painted a portrait of an artist perfectly at home in cowboy boots or couture heels, “Last Name” paints one of an artist who’s not afraid to mix some attitude into her elegance. The production is lush and radio-tuned to the hilt, teeming with all the warmth and energy that contemporary country fans thirst for, yet grounded in a classic Nashville storytelling tradition.

Ewulf crank it up with the pounding latest release “Shutting It Down”
Ewulf’s latest release, “Shuttin It Down” has that kind of energy that’s meant to get attention from the jump.

All of these things add up to a production that is direct and energetic but does not lose the melodic side brought in by the crossover hook.
