Country music newcomer, Ingrid Andress, is a name you should have on your radar. Recently, Andress along with Little Big Townâs Kimberly Schlapman and Karen Fairchild, joined together to perform a beautiful stripped-down rendition of âMore Hearts Than Mine.â
This song, also Andress' debut single, was co-written by the rising star herself alongside Derek Southerland and Sam Ellis. "More Hearts Than Mine" reflects on the emotions felt during a breakup from differing parties including mothers and fathers. This track along with âLady Like,â and âBothâ have generated quite the buzz, receiving attention from country music fans and even big country stars like Fairchild and Schlapman.
Fairchild shared with People that after hearing Andress sing âLady Likeâ last year at a country showcase, she was immediately captivated. âI was so blown away just by the originality. You can just tell when someoneâs authentic and genuine, and sheâs a very, very gifted writer and has a beautiful voice.â
In addition to âMore Hearts Than Mine,â the three talented ladies also sang Little Big Town's latest song, âThe Daughters" and covered the Dixie Chicksâ âWide Open Spaces.â When asked about her preparation for the performance with Schlapman and Fairchild, the young star admits, "Well, I practiced 'not fangirling' in the mirror," she continues, "then I rehearsed the crap out of every song we were doing."
Based on her delivery, it seems that her practice paid off. Little Big Town's, Fairchild is a a big fan who's confident that Andress' career will take off. "She knows who she is. She know what she wants to do. She's just the real deal. That's why we handpicked her. It's because we just really believe in her." With that kind of support and belief behind her, there's no telling where Andress will go.
