Abbey Cone will release her debut album, Greener on April 11.
“Greener is an album I pieced together when my life felt like it was falling apart,” says Cone. “These songs are some of the most personal I’ve ever written. Although the past year has been one of the hardest of my life, light found its way through the cracks, and I’ve somehow found myself on the other side. This is Greener— a true story.”
Her first full-length project since 2022 EP Hate Me, Greener traces Cone’s journey through the highs and lows of love, capturing the complex emotions that arise along the way. The album opens with “If You Were A Song,” which has garnered over 17 million streams on Spotify. From there, it unfolds like a narrative, beginning at the peak of love, unraveling through the heartache of a breakup and ultimately finding peace in the quiet clarity of closure.
She also dropped the latest single from the project last Friday (Feb. 14), “I Kissed My Friend Last Night,” produced by Matt Martin and co-penned by Cone, Martin and Cece Coakley. The track captures the emotional complexity that follows a breakup, with Cone navigating a mix of conflicting feelings. Set against a backdrop of synths and shimmering guitars, she harmonizes with two versions of herself, one ready to move on and the other still mourning what’s been lost.
Since moving to Nashville at 16, Cone has performed at major events like C2C Festival in London at The O2, Stagecoach, CMA Fest and even made her Grand Ole Opry debut after receiving an invitation from Vince Gill. She was inducted into CMT’s Next Women of Country Class of 2020 and named one of Pandora’s 10 Country Artists to Watch in 2022. Cone has been building a reputation for her emotionally powerful songwriting that resonates with both the next generation of listeners and beyond.
Cone started 2025 with a guest feature on Mat Kearney’s latest single, “Good Thing Going On,” following a string of releases last year. These included “This Little Lighter Of Mine (Joy Version),” featuring Joy Oladokun, which celebrates finding light in tough times, and “I Hate Springsteen,” both of which will appear on her upcoming project. Cone also co-founded the Nashville writers round series, The Pony Show, and stayed busy on the road, performing alongside Kimberly Perry on CMT’s Next Women of Country Tour, as well as with Mickey Guyton and Morgan Wade. She also joined Brittney Spencer for her Tiny Desk performance, where she helped arrange the set and provided background vocals.
Later this month, Cone will join Stephen Day as a supporting act for the first leg of his nationwide tour, with stops in cities like Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and more.

1. “If You Were A Song” (Abbey Cone, Nate Cyphert, Nathan Spicer)

Song Suffragettes To Host 11th Anniversary Show In March
/by Madison HahnenNashville’s weekly all-women singer-songwriter round, Song Suffragettes, will mark its 11th anniversary with a show on March 3rd at The Listening Room Cafe. The evening will honor reigning ACM Songwriter of the Year, Jessie Jo Dillon, who will receive the 2025 Yellow Rose of Inspiration Award. This annual honor is given to a woman who has served as a musical inspiration to the Song Suffragettes collective. Past recipients include Wynonna Judd, Ashley McBryde, Kelsea Ballerini, Laura Veltz, Liz Rose and Natalie Hemby.
Dillon will take part in an on-stage Q&A to talk about her songwriting achievements as a six-time Grammy nominee and the current Billboard Rising Songwriter of the Year. To celebrate the writer behind hits like “10,000 Hours” and “Lies, Lies, Lies,” special guest and Song Suffragettes alumna Alana Springsteen will perform a selection of Dillon’s most beloved songs.
In addition to Springsteen, several Song Suffragettes alumnae will take the stage, including Karley Scott Collins, Shaylen, Molly Grace, Summer Joy, Regan Stewart, Shantaia, Mōriah, Anna Vaus, Shelby Raye, Abby Cates and Mia Morris.
The evening will also commemorate the 11-year legacy of Song Suffragettes. Since its inception in 2014, the show has highlighted over 450 talented women out of more than 4,500 applicants. More than 76 alumnae have gone on to secure music publishing deals, and 52 have landed recording contracts, including Lainey Wilson, Carly Pearce, Kelsea Ballerini, Brittney Spencer, Megan Moroney and Gayle.
“After 11 years of Song Suffragettes, we’re most proud of the strong community of women who have not only graced our stage, but who consistently come together to support each other in a music community that still undervalues female talent,” says Songs Suffragettes’ Founder Todd Cassetty. “And we will continue to spotlight the finest female singer-songwriters from Nashville and beyond as we honor songwriting icon Jessie Jo Dillon with the Song Suffragettes Yellow Rose of Inspiration Award on March 3rd.”
Tickets for Song Suffragettes’ 11th anniversary show are on sale now.

/by Madison HahnenKelly King & Patrick Waters.
Red Street Records has promoted Kelly King to VP of Red Street Publishing. Industry veteran Patrick Waters has joined the team as Senior Director of A&R Country.
“Kelly’s decades of experience and relationships helped put RSR publishing on the map with some big wins, and it became obvious that focusing her guidance on our hit songwriters will amplify all things Red Street,” says Red Street Records General Manager Alex Valentine. “Along with that, the addition of a trusted and multi-genre experienced voice to the recording process makes Patrick the perfect person to lead the A&R charge. Can’t wait to see what these two accomplished music executives dream up next for ‘The Street’.”
King has been instrumental in discovering and developing artists and songwriters in her 30-year career such as Rascal Flatts, Brett James and Brothers Osborne. King has played a key role in the success of numerous chart-topping hits, including Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus Take the Wheel,” Brothers Osborne’s “Stay A Little Longer,” Carly Pearce and Chris Stapleton’s “We Don’t Fight Anymore,” and several No. 1 singles by Rascal Flatts, including “Rewind.” After earning partnerships at Teracel Music and Good Girl Music, a joint venture with Sony Publishing, King launched her own venture, King Pen Music, in partnership with Warner Chappell Publishing in 2011. In 2022, she joined Red Street Records as Senior Director of A&R/Publishing, where she now leads and oversees the company’s publishing operations.
Missouri native Waters brings over 20 years of experience in the music industry to Red Street Records. He began his career in A&R at Maverick Records in Los Angeles before moving to Warner Brothers Records. In 2011, he relocated to Tennessee, where he played a pivotal role in launching both Interscope and Warner Records’ Nashville offices, contributing to the development and growth of the label’s presence in the city. Waters later worked as an artist manager at Red Light Management, where he helped shape the creative and business strategies for a diverse group of artists. Now, as Senior Director of A&R at Red Street, Patrick will focus on the growth and development of the country roster, which includes Chris Lane, Ryan Griffin, Neon Union, Ryan Larkins and Kaleb Sanders.

Hailing from Nova Scotia, Canada, Guthro’s songs have been recorded by artists like Walker Hayes, Dan + Shay, Dixie D’Amelio, Brian Kelley, Banners, Austin Snell and Erin Kinsey.
