Abbey Cone

Fueled by two life-altering breakups — one with a romantic partner, the other with a record label — Abbey Cone chases down new horizons with Greener. It's an album about broken hearts and new beginnings, blending the southern storytelling of country music with anthemic pop hooks, ethereal synths, and indie textures. At the center of that sound is a Texas-born songwriter who moved to Nashville at 16 years old, jumpstarting a career that would soon find her playing the Grand Ole Opry, collaborating with Vince Gill, and racking up 17 million Spotify streams of Greener's first track, "If You Were a Song." The rest of the album unfolds chronologically, following Abbey's path as she splits with a long-time partner and bounces back with a new relationship. Already selected as one of CMT's Next Women of Country and named one of Pandora's 10 Country Artists to Watch upon the release of her major-label debut in 2021, Abbey reaches a new peak — and regains her artistic freedom — with Greener, an eclectic, empowered record that marks her first release as an independent artist.
