NASHVILLE, Tenn. (February 25, 2022) – Country singer Karissa Ella is slowing it down and showing off the depth of her writing abilities on her new single “Whiskey Whispers Your Name,” out now! Written by Karissa, Conner Sweet and Lydia Dall, this new release is a song that we can all relate to. When you think you’re fine and finally over that person that broke your heart, but once the initial high of a glass of whiskey wears off, all of those feelings come rushing back and you find yourself missing them. Listen to “Whiskey Whispers Your Name” here.
“Whiskey whispers your name
Like a ghost in a cloud of smoke
Every time its the same
All those hating you feelings start disappearing
When whiskey whispers your name”
“I wrote this song with Conner Sweet and Lydia Dall. It outlines someone trying to move on from a past relationship. With whiskey being a trigger, every sip brings back all the memories you shared. This song showcases the struggles of moving on from someone who was once so important. Although it is a sad song, it is one of my favorites and I hope fans love it and relate to it as much as I do!” says Kariss Ella.
Coming off the heels of last year’s summer hit “Bad Summer,” her breakup anthem “Crackin’ Cold Ones,” an opening tour slot for GRAMMY-nominated country singer, David Nail and now locking down tour dates of her own, Karissa is coming into 2022 swinging.
