Priscilla Block has shared her new song ‘Peaked in High School’ out everywhere now. The release follows the news that Block was named Opry NextStage Artist for November.
Mercury Nashville rising star Priscilla Block has released her latest song “Peaked In High School” for all of those who feel more grateful the school years are over than thanks for the good time. Written by Block with Sarah Jones, Josh Beale and Kate Hasting, Block taps into her high school years, feeling on the outside and coming to grips with friends who turned “too cool” – but Block executes the song with her playful, signature wink. Block offers a glimpse of those formative years incorporating her own photos into the yearbook-inspired lyric video.
“I was the girl that had no interest in doing things how everybody else did them,” Block shares with PEOPLE. “This song kinda just goes out to anybody that that’s ever made me feel not enough. And to any young people out there, people tell you that high school will be some of the best years of your life. I am living proof that it is not. I wish I knew that back in the day. I would have saved so many fricking tears.”
Known for her relatable, candid lyrics, Block continues to prove to that her best years are still ahead. She released her self-titled major label debut earlier this year and is currently one of CMT’s Next Women of Country, is November’s Opry NextStage featured artist, has her smash single “Just About Over You” climbing country radio airplay charts, and earned critical praise including American Songwriter which notes, “Priscilla’s songs emanate authenticity, making others feel they have a place at the table, and someone new to relate to.”Block has toured with Ashley McBryde, Dierks Bentley, Jon Pardi and more, and this Saturday, Nov. 6, she plays the Grand Ole Opry.
