Ashley McBryde’s Redemption Song | Rolling Stone Nashville Now
Among the music media and label channels nearest its size, Rolling Stone drew the second most views of the week, a little over three million, though its daily pace sat below its usual rhythm. VibesOnly had the busier week in the group, and ShaniaTwainVEVO and LukeBryanVEVO were running well above their own norms.
Fifteen uploads went up, and the one viewers chose was the most personal. Ashley McBryde, the Arkansas-born, Grammy-winning songwriter, sat down for Nashville Now to talk about Wild, an album the description says digs into her family lineage and her wish to be "fully seen." She talks about getting sober and what redemption means to her; it is also the name of her mocktail-forward bar on Lower Broadway. And there is a lighter turn: once her Scottish accent starts, the description warns, it does not stop. One viewer remembers seeing her open for Garth Brooks at Hyde Park, and another is still laughing at a rain joke.
The Hunger Games crowd filled the rest. Elle Fanning and Iris Apatow, who play the sisters Effie and Proserpina Trinket in Sunrise on the Reaping, pulled questions from the Popcorn bucket, and the cut-downs kept coming: Elle impersonating Dakota, Elle rapping Lil Wayne in Effie's voice, Iris insisting she could win Love Island. Troye Sivan stopped by the New York studio to talk about his album She's the Best and working with Nicole Kidman on its visuals, and Blondshell played F*ck, Marry, Kill with nostalgia, the moment and the passage of time. Her verdict on the first: she loves it.
