Kassi Ashton unleashes smoky new track – I Don’t Wanna Dance – out now
Rising country star Kassi Ashton serves up a smoky and sultry new song – “I Don’t Wanna Dance” out now via MCA Nashville.
On the track, Kassi’s undeniable bluesy vocals come to the fore, accompanied by softly strummed acoustic chords and slide guitar rustle beneath. Meanwhile, her words weigh heavy on the beat’s slow burn as an eighties-style guitar lick echoes. The emotional push-and-pull culminates with a confession on the chorus, “I don’t wanna dance if I ain’t dancing with you.”
On the new song, Kassi shares, ““It doesn’t matter how good the band is, how long the bartender has been perfecting her margarita recipe, or how hot the cowboy is who’s offering, I don’t wanna dance if I ain’t dancing with you”.
“Called Crazy” was Ashton’s first release of 2024, following her sultry rendition of Christina Aguilera’s “Genie In A Bottle” released last November. In 2023, Ashton also released her Top 40 hit, “Drive You Out Of My Mind,” and its silky, slowed-down companion, “Drive You Out Of My Mind (Dark Room Edition),” released in September. “Drive You Out Of My Mind” received praise from Billboard, Music Row, Country Now and more for its energetic production and irresistible lyricism. Ashton also completed an extensive run of dates with Old Dominion, where she brought her rich vocals to fans nationwide. This year, Ashton is back on the road for several headlining performances and festival appearances, including a set at CMA Fest on June 8. Kassi will also be joining Jamey Johnson on the What A View Tour this July. Full list of tour dates below.
