DANIEL NIGRO: CRACKING THE CODE
The co-writer-producer of the moment, in his own words (12/11a)
| ||
NOW WHAT?
We have no fucking idea.
COUNTRY'S NEWEST DISRUPTOR
Three chords and some truth you may not be ready for.
AI IS ALREADY EATING YOUR LUNCH
The kids can tell the difference... for now.
WHO'S BUYING THE DRINKS?
That's what we'd like to know.

WHAT IT IS: With her album debuting at #2 on the sales chart, the newcomer’s explosive rise in 2015 has been built on the strength of her connection with her rapidly growing fan base, her no-holds-barred honesty (both in person and in her music) and a killer live show, honed everywhere from sold-out club shows to arena stages. She’s garnered unanimous and universal critical praise; The New York Times wrote, “[She] is moving fast to share a secret language,” while Redeye Chicago claimed, “This is power-seeking pop music to listen to alone in your room, and then sing out loud with thousands.” Rolling Stone said, “BADLANDS is about to launch [her] into international superstardom.” She’s currently in the running for Favorite Breakout Artist at the People’s Choice Awards and was just nominated for Artist on the Rise at MTV’s EMAs.
