Nashville hitmaker Ernest has released his new track ‘Flower Shops’ featuring Morgan Wallen. Listen here.
Multi-Platinum artist and songwriter Ernest is kicking off the New Year with the beautiful, fan-favourite track ‘Flower Shops (feat. Morgan Wallen). The track has already hit the #1 spot on Apple Music Country, Spotify Country, and iTunes overall upon release. On the track, Ernest describes the pain of a breakup, in a classic done-her-wrong ballad, with gorgeous, swelling traditional country production, complete with weeping steel guitar and a slow-and-sorry beat. The melancholic track was written by ERNEST with Ben Burgess and Mark Holman and produced by Joey Moi.
Of the track Ernest says, “’Flower Shops’ is a song that isn’t over-written or over-complicated… It’s a sad song with a wink; an honest song about messing up a good thing and running out of sorrys. I wrote it with Ben Burgess and Mark Holman after being on a George Jones/sad Country song kick. I didn’t have a hard time going there because I know damn well what it’s like to run out of apologies, and though flowers aren’t ever going to fix it, it’s just about all you can do sometimes. It’s one of my favorite songs, if not my favorite song, I’ve written to date. The response on social media and from fans has been incredible, especially for being an unreleased song up until now. I’m excited for it to be out in the world and even more excited to have one of my best friends, Morgan, hop on it and sing it with me. I am a big believer in Country music remaining honest, regardless of sonics. And this is as honest as it can get.”
The track is a powerful start to 2022, ahead of Ernest’s Grand Ole Opry debut on 8th January and his support slot for Chris Lane on his Fill Them Boots tour.
