Texas-born rising star Jenna Paulette continues to make waves in the country music scene with the release of her latest track ‘Hang Your Hat.’ Following the success of her redemptive single ‘Darlin’, this new release marks another milestone for Paulette since signing with the innovative independent record label Leo33.
Collaborating with acclaimed songwriters Jim Beavers, Rhett Akins, and Smith Ahnquist, Paulette reflects on the inspiration behind ‘Hang Your Hat.’ “Smith had the idea and I instantly fell in love with it,” she shares. “The feel came from wanting something in the vein of ‘Adalida’ – up tempo and easy to listen to. The hook made it mean something more to me than a simple feel-good song, though: ‘I got a heart you can hang your hat on.’ Saying to someone you love, ‘hey you can depend on me, I’ll be there in every way.’ That’s where I’m at in life — and I’ve got someone that gave me a safe place to call home, so I’m giving him a heart he can trust.”
As Paulette gears up for her sophomore album under Leo33, ‘Hang Your Hat’ serves as a glimpse into her journey of self-discovery and newfound love. The song encapsulates the reassurance of unwavering support through both the highs and lows of a relationship.
Paulette’s musical journey has been marked by critical acclaim and recognition, notably with her debut album ‘The Girl I Was,’ released in March 2023. Garnering praise from outlets such as People Magazine and Grammy.com, Paulette was named an Apple Music Country Riser of the Month and was honoured among CMT’s Next Women of Country.
Currently, Paulette is hitting the road alongside Aaron Watson as part of his The Armadillo Dance Hall Tour. Fans can stay updated on her latest music releases and upcoming shows by visiting her official website at jennapaulette.com or following her on social media at @JennaPaulette.
