“How long have you been seeing her?!” Ashley Anne asks in her new song. “She Ain’t Texas,” produced by Owen Lewis, depicts the flaming out of a relationship brought on by a home-wrecking mistress. Anne’s words flicker like a candle’s wavering flame with her voice burning red hot.

“Won’t lie, I ain’t surprised that you’re cheating on me,” she continues. She confronts the truth, allowing her heart’s pain to seep into the record with intense clarity. Anne unthreads her heartstrings through a contemplative downtempo that will surely knock the listener for a loop. 

“She ain’t a fun time honky-tonker,” she sings. The images are sharp, glistening beneath a rays of electric guitar and drums. “So if she ain’t country, she ain’t your cup of sweet tea.” Anne delivers her performance with both frailty and command – finding catharsis in revealing such vulnerable truths.

“She Ain’t Texas” follows “Dear Dolly” and “Fake Tan,” both released earlier this summer.
