Ana Cristina Cash To Explore ‘The Sunshine State’ On New Album

/by

Ana Cristina Cash will release her bilingual album, The Sunshine State, on Jan. 30.

The nine track project was produced by John Carter Cash and Willie Breeding and recorded at Cash Cabin Studio in Hendersonville. Ana co-wrote six of the tunes, as well as one solo-write. Writing partners across the collection include Gabriella Scotto, Frank Ray, Willie Breeding and more.

“Daybreak,” “Cheap Margaritas,” and “Last Call” will feature both English and Spanish versions on the album.

“That duality is present in everything I do,” Cash shares. “I’m proud to be an American living in Nashville, working deeply within the country music space, and equally proud of my Hispanic culture. I grew up speaking both English and Spanish at home, so it felt natural to record Spanish versions of several of my songs.

“I drew a lot of inspiration from the nostalgia of growing up in South Florida,” she continues. “You can hear that imagery throughout songs like ‘Florida Girl,’ ‘Janice,’ and ‘Don’t Give Up,’” she notes. “The first home I grew up in was in rural West Miami, before it was built up, right near the Florida Everglades—wild and untouched at the time. I only had four neighbors, a dirt road, orange trees in the backyard, and our own chickens. That home and that formative period of my life influenced so much of this record.”
