February 24, 2020 ( Nashville, TN) Songwriter and country music artist Brenda Cay released the upbeat and foot stomping, toe tapping honky tonk single 1-2-3-Floor on February 21, 2020 to all digital and streaming outlets. The single is currently featured on Apple Music Hot Tracks.
The single falls into the category that we hear often, “classic country”. With it’s upbeat and catchy lyrics and toe stomping beats it is quickly becoming a line dancing favorite in our favorite country venues. Brenda is known for her clever classic story telling lyrics. She brings a charm to her songs and although she is a mild mannered southern lady her sense of humor shines through storyline. 1-2-3-Floor has an infectious rhythm and the lyrics are witty and fun. The story line is relatable because most of us have that memory of drinking too much and losing ourselves in the moment. Brenda has performed the single out at gigs and the crowd quickly catches the spirit and sings along. This is what country music has always been about. No bells and whistles here, just a good ol’ country music tune. “The idea for this song was something I read on a t-shirt while in Gatlinburg, TN. The shirt was a warning against drinking too much moonshine. It made me smile and resonated with me..so of course I wrote a song.” Brenda is excited to share the music video with the music world and her fans in a few weeks. She says, “I do not take myself too seriously, music is inspiration and my goal for this song was to help people not take life so seriously.”
The instrumental tracks for 1-2-3-Floor were recorded at Sound Resources with Steve Babb, Fred Schendel and Brian Brewer (Chattanooga, TN). The vocal tracks were engineered in Nashville with Justine Blazer Productions and Kristin K. Smith on vocal production.
