Twinnie shares the new single ‘Bad Man’ from her new ‘Blue Hour’ EP that will come out later this year.
Following her heart, British country pop star Twinnie decided to move to Nashville on a full-time basis to hone her songwriting craft – a shrewd decision, given her spots at CMA Fest and Bonnaroo earlier this month. Twinnie’s rising status continues to soar as she shares the new single ‘Bad Man’. Previewing her new ‘Blue Hour’ EP which follows later this year, ‘Bad Man’ is her first official release since relocating and adds to her current trajectory.
In contrast to the upbeat crossover anthems that she is best known for, ‘Bad Man’ showcases a different side of Twinnie’s artistry. ‘Bad Man’ is a slow-burn, high drama ballad that shows the beguiling and emotional qualities of Twinnie’s vocal. An instantly relatable story about learning to trust again after previously being hurt by somebody you thought you could believe in, ‘Bad Man’ also possesses the timeless warmth of country instrumentation – from sorrowful slide guitar to sweeping strings – that shows that she’s an utterly authentic new voice within her adopted hometown.
Twinnie produced ‘Bad Man’ with her regular collaborator Barnabas Shaw (Meghan McKenna) and wrote it with Jessica Farren (Renee Blair), solo artist Kyndal Inskeep and John The Dropout (danny G). It’s a collaboration that paid off, showcasing her emotional depth. Both ‘Bad Man’ and the recent ‘The Way I Loved You’ will feature on the ‘Blue Hour’ EP.
Twinnie walks the line between two worlds. A traveller with a gypsy heart and a storyteller’s soul, she delivers vibrant lyrics and effervescent melodies throughout her musical output. Unpretentious and unapologetic, she is a fresh voice for the outliers. She is a multifaceted performer that has created a musical refuge for people on the fringe: one where everyone is welcome, respected and celebrated.
Twinnie learned early on what it meant to be marginalised, and how music could transcend stereotypes. Her father was a Romany gypsy and her mother was a hard-working, traditional English mum. The oldest of four children growing up in rural Yorkshire in a travelling caravan, she was the scrappy school-yard defender who became a passionate advocate for equality and inclusion as an artist and successful businesswoman. This ethos led to her founding I Know A Woman, a music collective that aims to increase opportunity, community, and support within the music industry by standardising mental health therapy within all label and publishing deals.
