ERIN KINSEY  - "Drunk Too" - Independent Release 

Rockwell, Texas native Erin Kinsey burst onto the scene as a songwriter this past fall with “PINK,” a song which was recorded as an anthem for the Susan G. Komen Foundation and performed by a group of legends that included Dolly Parton, Monica, Sara Evans, and more.

Kinsey now returns (as an artist) with her debut single “Drunk Too.” Driven to release the song after an incredible fan response to it on TikTok, Kinsey has delivered an ultra-relatable tune for anyone yearning for the love of someone and being so close to it, yet so far away.

Co-written with Danielle Blakey and Ave Suppelsa, “Drunk Too” starts with a cold opening and instantly draws from Kinsey’s emotionally fueled vocal to pull you into the gut-wrenching tale of getting the phone call you’ve been anxiously waiting for where they finally confess their love for you, only to have them pull the rug out from under you the next day because they claimed to be just drunk when they said all those things to you the night before.

You feel the pain as she delivers lines throughout the chorus that sees her pulling back on her original excitement, to then hiding her true feelings when she twists the lie that she was just “drunk too” – “I’ll say I was blacked out, so then you can scratch out the things that we said,” “Pretend like I don’t remember, even thinking about us together,” and “Act like I don’t want you.”

Kinsey and her co-writers have perfectly captured the dance that happens so often when you want someone so badly, and when they do finally open the door, they fearfully slam it back in your face the next day with an excuse that hides their true feelings while forcing you to begin the nerve-wracking dance again.

The softness of the acoustic driven song surrounds the emotions of Kinsey’s voice in all the proper ways so that it is constantly tugging on your heartstrings, while delivering a single that earns your attention as it slides in nicely alongside the crop of young female artists who line the Top 40 today.
