Abbey Cone Announces Debut Collection, ‘Hate Me’

Abbey Cone puts her truest self on display with her debut collection Hate Me, due April 22 via The Valory Music Co.

The EP includes the heartfelt “Rhinestone Ring,” as well as the emotional breakup song and title track “Hate Me.” In conjunction with the announcement of new music, Cone has also released another tune from the collection titled “King Of The World,” available now. Throughout the project’s six tracks, the release covers the full spectrum of love with Cone serving as a co-writer and co-producer on every song.

“This project is me. I felt the feelings, I wrote the songs, I co-produced, I co-directed and co-created every part of this release with my team, incredible cowriters, my family and my best friends. I could never release something that didn’t feel undeniably me,” Cone explains. “I have a vision for every part of my career. I love how involved I was in creating this project and no matter where it lands in the musical universe, I’ll always be proud of it.”

Cone first made the trek to Nashville at age 12 from her home state of Texas. A CMT Next Women of Country Class of 2020 inductee, she was also named one of Pandora’s 10 Country Artists To Watch in 2022. The rising singer-songwriter most recently spent time on the road with Brittney Spencer.
