Callista Clark has released a deluxe edition of her debut album, Real To Me: The Way I Feel, via Big Machine Records. The expanded set features four new versions of previously-released songs, including a duet featuring Jimmie Allen, “Wish You Wouldn’t.”

“Having Jimmie Allen on ‘Wish You Wouldn’t’ is a literal dream come true,” shares Clark. “He was the only person I wanted for that song—he brings such an effortlessly smooth charm to the song. I’m still ecstatic he said ‘yes!’”

“I love diving into all types of projects and experimenting with different artists so I was honored Callista asked me to jump on this song—I’m grateful to be a part of her journey,” Allen adds. “We met out on the road years ago and she has become like a little sister to me. She is an incredible talent and I loved getting to play with the variation between the fast and slow vocals—it’s a fun song to sing.”

Produced by Nathan Chapman, Clark co-penned every track on the expanded project and collaborated with top songwriters, including Laura Veltz, Emily Shackleton, Liz Rose, Chris DeStefano and Jimmy Robbins.
