WHAT IT IS: After winning a Critics Choice Award and spending almost two decades writing songs for the likes of Miley Cyrus, Dolly Parton, Meghan Trainor, John Legend, Garth Brooks and Jason Aldean, Caitlyn Smith is emerging as one of the most promising country artists to come out of Nashville. The Minnesota native delivers her impactful lyrics with evocative vocals and has a torchy way of finding a song’s emotional core.
