NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August 27, 2021) – Country riser Karissa Ella is not slowing down this summer as she releases her newest single “Crackin’ Cold Ones.” The young artist is hardly hindered by her age as her well-written songs speak for themselves. In the same vein as Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats” and Miranda Lambert’s “Gunpowder and Lead,” “Crackin’ Cold Ones” is the breakup anthem we have all needed at some point before. Written by Ella with Cory Batten and Alex Seier; listen to “Crackin’ Cold Ones” here.
“In that little red dress that you like, you like
You know the one that’s too tight
Do you want this back, ain’t no take backs
Sit back and watch what you’ve done
I’m just breakin’ hearts and crackin’ cold ones”
“Crackin’ Cold Ones allows me to show a side I haven’t shown before in my music. I make sure to bring all the sass and attitude I can while singing this song and cannot wait to hear what listeners think!” says Kariss Ella.
Coming off the heels of her recent, summer hit “Bad Summer,” Karissa is making waves around Nashville and the country music scene. You can catch her on the road this Fall opening up for GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum recording artist, David Nail.

About Karissa Ella:
Karissa Ella’s youthful and soulful style is a breath of fresh air in today’s world of country music, and she’s been recognized for it by Radio Disney Country, CMT and countless media outlets. Inspired by the likes of Shania Twain, Gretchen Wilson, Garth Brooks and Carrie Underwood, her music and writing is a reflection of those that came before her. Her live performances, at such places like the ACM-nominated Dusty Armadillo, attract audiences of all ages, but they keep coming back for her infectious personality. Armed with a Music Entertainment Degree from Belmont University and having been singing for crowds from the young age of 10 years old, Karissa is one of country music’s rising stars! In June 2018, she completed her first EP, having co-wrote two of the three songs. Her second EP, Blossom, came out Summer 2019 with songs like “VACAY” featured by Parade.com and “Me and Luke” by Medium and Taste of Country. As she leans into the music she grew up on, Karissa has released multiple covers, including “Who I Am,” “Maybe It Was Memphis,” and “You Can’t Make Old Friends” ft. Johnny Gates, as part of The Acoustic Sessions, which featured Jenee Fleenor (2x CMA Musician of the Year & ACM Musician Of The Year) on fiddle, mandolin and background vocals. Leaning on her ‘90s country roots, Karissa’s new music, due out later this year, takes the young artist in a new, more authentic direction, leaning into the past with a modern flair.
