The female country artist should have been out on the road with Dan + Shay and Tim McGraw celebrating the fact that her debut single, “More Hearts Than Mine,” just hit the top spot on Mediabase Country Airplay chart. She should also be promoting the release of her first album, “Lady Like,” which ranks as the highest-streaming country female debut album of all time.
Andress hails from a suburb of Denver, the daughter of Brad Andress, a Major League Baseball coach, and his wife Inger. Sports were a big part of her upbringing and Andress played competitive soccer and volleyball and ran track during her formative years. But instead of continuing her sports career in college, she discovered that her true calling was music.“Both my parents were athletes in college and I grew up playing sports,” she says.
But because she had developed a love for songwriting during her stint in school, she decided to follow DioGuardi’s advice and make the move to Nashville. “It’s the songwriting capital of the world,” she says, “so I moved there and started my songwriting career.”She says sitting in a room with other writers and a guitar taught her how to create “a well-crafted song.
“It’s a song about my family, who I love so much and who have been my number-one fans from the beginning,” she says. “I’m beyond happy it has resonated with so many people, because that’s the whole beauty of country music; real stories that are told about real people living in this country. It’s an honor to tell those stories as so many legends have done before me.”
The eight songs on the album — she cowrote all of them and coproduced the album — run the gamut from “Bad Advice,” which speaks about the bad tips she got from friends after a breakup, to the title cut, which offers a nontraditional take on exactly what constitutes being a lady. Although she says it’s hard to pick a favorite — “It’s like picking your favorite child” — she admits it would probably be “Lady Like.
