Penned by Nora Collins, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Forest Glen Whitehead, ‘Leroy’ delivers a powerful message as Tigirlily Gold urges listeners to find empowerment and confidence, encouraging them to leave behind relationships that do not serve them. The song represents just one facet of the duo’s signature blend of storytelling and melody that captivates audiences.
Produced by Pete Good and Shane McAnally, ‘Blonde’ showcases Tigirlily Gold’s journey of self-discovery and musical evolution. The album features a diverse array of tracks, including their current single, ‘I Tried a Ring On,’ and the viral sensation ‘Shoot Tequila,’ alongside deeply personal narratives and anthems of female empowerment. Kendra and Krista aim to infuse country music with the energy of girl groups, breathing new life into the genre.
Reflecting on the album’s inspiration, Krista shares, “Blonde is all about being undeniably and unapologetically yourself. We want everyone to feel confident and vulnerable enough at the same time to say what they need to say.”
