NASHVILLE, Tenn. (July 07, 2023) â Country singer-songwriter Brei Carterâs jovial pop-country anthem âStraight Up Country Crazyâ is proving to be popular among her fans and with certain Music Row tastemakers. The songâs music video treatment rolled out today in an exclusive premiere during her Coffee, Country & Cody appearance on Circle All Access & WSM Radio. Carter teased fans with a sneak peak of the new video ahead of its official release on Saturday, July 08 at 9am CT on her YouTube channel. The video, which is simply a good old-fashioned barn party Brei hosted with some of her friends and music pals, is also scheduled to premiere on The Country Network on Monday, July 10, at CMT.com on Friday, July 14 , and as part of AIM Country Networkâs Your New Favorite Song premiering on Sunday, July 09. The song is also gaining traction on Spotify, having been recently added to their Hot Country & Country Hits editorial playlists. Carter co-wrote the song with Ken Matthiesen, Blaine Younger, and Rachel Seiler.Â
âCountry isn’t just a place, it’s a state of mind,â says Carter. âIt’s where sanity rides shotgun with a little bit of crazy, beatin’ the dust off life’s dirt road. This is what I call straight up country crazy. Itâs a movement of freedom!â
Known for having a vivacious and dynamic personality which directly translates into her music, the fast rising country songstress first premiered the song on Nashville.com ahead of its June 9 release by Brown Lee Entertainment & The Orchard (orcd.co/BreiCarterCountryCrazy). Brei also teased the song for the first time with her band live on WSMV-TVâs Today In Nashville in May.

About Brei Carter:
Emerging crossover country and southern pop recording artist Brei Carter is proof that sometimes faith, patience and time pays off. Growing up in Monroe, Louisiana with a solid, southern upbringing, Breiâs family raised her on several authentic southern staples: the Bible, Lone Star Missionary Baptist Churchâs choir, Charley Pride, Loretta Lynn, Aretha Franklin, and no shortage of familial love and devotion. However, before she became the dynamic and vivacious country singer she is today, Brei was busy earning a Bachelors in Business from University of Louisiana in Monroe, a Masters in International Relations from Webster University, and a Doctorate in Theology from New Foundation Theological Seminary. She is also a proud Veteran of the U.S. Army, where she served as an enlisted soldier and as an officer. Having moved to Nashville soon thereafter, Brei has quickly established herself in the songwriters community as a smooth and sometimes edgy songstress who melds country, soul and southern pop into one fused style. Her first single at country radio âGave Him A Girlâ was immediately recognized as âcute and catchyâ by country music journalist and historian Robert K. Oermann from Music Row Magazine. Sheâs also been featured by TBN-TVâs Huckabee, RFD-TV, WSMV-TV, WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour, Billboard, Guitar Girl Magazine, Nashville.com, St. Louis Magazine, and others. Brei made her CMA Fest debut in 2022, and released her debut album Brand New Country, which included her fan-favorite cover of Charley Prideâs âKiss an Angel Good Mornin,â and her lifeâs musical story âStronger Than That.â In 2023 Brei is currently working on her next new album, and has released her latest original, âStraight Up Country Crazy,â which perfectly showcases her dynamic and jovial personality. Carter has quickly proved to be a welcomed addition to the emerging new styles of country music blossoming in todayâs diverse musical landscape.
