Singer/songwriter, viral sensation, innovative entrepreneur and charismatic entertainer Karen Waldrup is releasing the project she calls the album she’s always wanted to make on July 13 in partnership with The Fuel Music. Justified, produced by award-winning producer Garth Fundis (Trisha Yearwood, Sugarland, Don Williams, etc), is an eleven song album featuring a fresh new country sound meshed with the soulful nostalgia of Waldrup’s home state of Louisiana.
“I’ve been waiting to make this album my whole life,” exclaims Waldrup. “This music sounds like I walk, it sounds like I talk, and it sounds like the Louisiana girl I am.”
Waldrup wrote or co-wrote 9 of the 11 tracks with Nashville friends and fellow songwriters including Julia Cole, Anthony Smith, Donnie Skaggs, Ed Hill, Brian Kolb and others. The album features title track and heart-felt thank you to fans “Justified,” the catchy party anthem “What Goes On In This Bar (Stays In This Bar),” Waldrup’s viral version of “I Hope You Dance,” the Lori McKenna penned love song “Sometimes He Does” and the vibey and sultry “Slow and Easy.”
“Getting to work with uniquely talented artists is truly a joy and Karen Waldrup is definitely one of those,” praises producer Garth Fundis. “It’s a rare occasion you meet someone who also possesses the charm, work ethic and sheer determination necessary to see her dreams come true. She is one of those people too. Don’t tell her something can’t be done, she’ll prove you wrong every time.”
