NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 12, 2024) – Hold onto your hats because independent country soul recording artist Brei Carter is set to electrify on her new EP, A Brei Of Fresh Air, due out in October across all major digital music streaming platforms. Brace yourself for June 19th, when sheâll unveil not one, but two new single tracks that are bound to shake your soul in alternating ways while flipping the script on unappreciative men, and lighting a fire in every womanâs heart to reclaim their power in relationships.Â
Dive into the irresistible groove of “Sun Still Shining” [pre-save link], where the feel-good, infectious countrypolitan vibe will remind you that no matter the storm, your sun never stops shining. Then, get ready to strut your stuff to the bold and daring anthem “Cake And Eat It Too” [pre-save link], a track that screams liberation and pure, unfiltered sass that was inspired by her spirited Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Sisters and women around the world.
“A Brei of Fresh Air is more than just an EP; it’s a heartfelt journey through my evolution as both an artist and an individual,â Carter said. Within these songs, the earthy spirit of country melds seamlessly with the rich, emotive depths of soul.âÂ
Known for taking a somewhat of an unorthodox approach when building a new EP or album project, Carterâs A Brei Of Fresh Air includes multiple notable music producers, video producers and songwriters that she collaborated with. The end result is a diversified sound and look from track-to-track. The blossoming Nashville songstress worked with Jimmy Ritchey (George Strait, Mark Chestnutt, Clay Walker) on âCountry Lives In Me,â Bill McDermott (Tim McGraw, Gretchen Wilson, Martina McBride) on âSun Still Shining,â William Washington aka WLPWR (Yelawolf) on âWhiskey On My Mind,â Elektrohorse (Cowboy Troy) on âBoots Get To Talkingâ and âCake And Eat It Too,â and Karl Weidmann (Elvie Shane) on the music video for âSun Still Shining.â
âGet ready, world!â Carter says with enthusiasm. âIâm about to bring the musical heat and redefine what it means to rise from the ashes!â

About Brei Carter:
In the heart of Monroe, Louisiana, amidst the nurturing embrace of the Deep South, Brei Carter was born into a world where faith, music, and love intertwine like the roots of ancient oaks. Raised on a rich diet of gospel hymns from the Lone Star Missionary Baptist Church, the soul-stirring melodies of Charley Pride and Loretta Lynn, and the powerful voice of Aretha Franklin, Breiâs life was been rooted in strong southern tradition and unwavering familial devotion. This foundation, layered with the sacred words of the Bible, became the bedrock of her journey
But Breiâs path was anything but ordinary. With a relentless spirit, she pursued education with the same fervor she held for music, earning a Bachelorâs in Business from the University of Louisiana in Monroe, a Masterâs in International Relations from Webster University, and a Doctorate in Theology from New Foundation Theological Seminary. Her service in the U.S. Army, both as an enlisted soldier and an officer, further shaped her resilience and dedication.Â
Upon setting her boots in Nashville, Brei Carter carved a niche for herself as an exquisite country soul singer-songwriter, blending the threads of country, soul, and southern pop into an electrifying tapestry of sound. Her debut single, âGave Him A Girl,â captured hearts with its charm, earning praise for its catchy sincerity. Esteemed voices in the music world, including Music Row Magazineâs Robert K. Oermann and platforms like TBN-TVâs Huckabee, RFD-TVâs Market Day Report, The Bluegrass Situation and Billboard have all recognized her unique blend of storytelling and melody.
Breiâs journey through music is a testament to the power of dreams and the courage to chase them. Her first album, Brand New Country, not only paid homage to her roots with a beloved cover of Charley Prideâs âKiss an Angel Good Morninâ,â but also narrated her indomitable spirit in âStronger Than That.â The release of âStraight Up Country Crazyâ in 2023 revealed the vibrancy and depth of her character, while her Twinkling Tales of Christmas EP brought warmth and joy to the holiday season.
As she looks to the future, with new EPs and shows on the horizon for 2024, Brei Carter stands as a beacon of hope and perseverance. Her story is a poignant reminder that with faith, patience, and time, dreams do flourish. Itâs a narrative that doesnât just tug at the heartstrings; it resonates with the soul, echoing the timeless truth that no matter where life takes us, our roots and our wings are equally important in the journey of becoming who we are meant to be.
