Ray Fulcher has officially released his debut country radio single, “Girl in It,” from his upcoming EP, Larkin Hill Mixes, set for release on Sept. 17 via Black River. In celebration of the EP release, Fulcher will be playing an 18+ show at Nashville’s Exit/In on Wednesday, Sept. 15th, with guests Faren Rachels and Southerland.
“Girl In It,” which was released on June 25, quickly made an impression and debuted on top playlists, including Apple’s New In Country, Amazon’s Breakthrough Country, Pandora’s New Country and New Country Now, and Spotify’s Next From Nashville, New Music Nashville, and RADAR Country.
Teaming up with Jonathan Singleton to produce the new project, the pair dug in to create a Memphis-meets-’90s country sound. Whether it’s “Way Out” which pits the notion of how far out of town one lives with the idea of escape, the country living truths in “Compliment,” or “Damn If It Didn’t Hurt” which gives Fulcher’s truth-telling take on life’s little defeats, the upcoming project delivers songs that distill a slower way of life.
Fulcher has already made his mark as a writer, having co-written eight songs on Luke Combs‘ 2020 CMA Album of the Year What You See Is What You Get, along with eight more from This One’s for You. Four of which–”When It Rains It Pours,” “Even Though I’m Leaving,” “Lovin’ on You” and “Does to Me”– went all the way to No. 1.
The seasoned songwriter recently made his Grand Ole Opry debut on June 25. This fall, he will join Combs on his “What You See Is What You Get” tour and will support Ashley McBryde on select dates.
