Global country powerhouse Kaylee Bell is riding high once again, this time with the release of her most personal and fearless project to date, Cowboy Up. A record that blends swagger with soul, it’s a collection of songs that unflinchingly explore strength, identity, and motherhood, all tethered to the roots that continue to shape her journey.
Recorded across the music mecca of Nashville and the rugged landscapes of her native New Zealand, Cowboy Up is a study in contrasts. Nashville’s polish meets hometown grit; hard-won wisdom dances with playful swagger. Building on the momentum of her 2024 chart-topping album Nights Like This, Bell stretches her sound and her story further than ever before. Every track is a tether to her roots, every lyric a mirror of the life she’s living now.
Bell’s signature storytelling shines brightest on tracks like “Shania,” a heartfelt nod to the artist who inspired her earliest musical dreams. It’s more than homage, it’s a bridge between the past and the future of country-pop, a genre Bell is determined to grow in New Zealand while paving the way for other artists chasing their own dreams.
Then there’s "Heartbeat", a track that lands like a punch and a hug all at once. Written in the immediate aftermath of discovering she was pregnant, the song captures the collision of shock, wonder, fear, and love that comes with a life-changing moment. “It’s the most personal song I’ve ever written,” Bell says. "I’ve held onto it for a while, but now I feel ready to share it with my fans."
Cowboy Up is a record of contrasts: playful and profound, polished and raw, rooted and forward-looking. It’s Kaylee Bell at her boldest, most tender, and most unapologetically herself. With this album, she’s not just singing country, she’s shaping it, on her own terms, across continents, and straight from the heart.
