Runaway June is providing fans with a taste of their backstory EP on Friday, Aug. 20, the same weekend they join Luke Bryan on his Proud To Be Right Here Tour.
The new EP focuses on heartbreak, break-ups and moving on as their rock and Western sound colors the three-song project, produced by Dan Huff and Mark Trussell. With all three ladies — Naomi Cooke, Natalie Stovall and Jennifer Wayne — now married, backstory weaves the tale of where it all begins, before finding a happily ever after.
The fiery “Forgot About That” opens the project, romanticizing all the good memories that surface when you run into your ex while “Down The Middle” speaks to the realistic emotions following a gut-wrenching breakup. “T-Shirt,” a breezy, good riddance track, rounds out the project.
Honored as a coveted New Face at the 2020 Country Radio Seminar, the BBR Music Group/Wheelhouse Records trio’s latest single, “Buy My Own Drinks,” peaked at Top 5 on Mediabase Country Chart, the highest charting song by a female trio or group since The Chicks in 2003. Their 2019 debut album, Blue Roses, received critical acclaim and was included on Rolling Stone’s and Paste Magazine’s best albums of the year lists.
