(Nashville, TN. – June 4, 2024) – Fourteen-year-old singer/songwriter Brooklyn Summer is excited about the release of her spirited new single, “Cowboy Killer.” The rockin’ song boasts a more mature sound for the teen phenomenon. It is playful and light-hearted yet powerful. Reminiscent of the popular ’90s sound with a heavy dose of modern edge flair, “Cowboy Killer” is already creating a buzz among industry professionals and music fans alike. The song, which is already nearing 8k streams, was featured twice on Radio SoBro’s NuMu Friday upon release, it was one of  Pop Blitz Magazine’s New Music Friday picks, and was added to Center Stage Magazine’s Fresh Indie Country playlist. “Cowboy Killer” is now available on all digital and streaming platforms. Listen HERE.

Cleverly crafted with Nashville tunesmiths Bill DiLuigi and Ericca Latza, “Cowboy Killer” was produced by multi-award-winning session musician and record producer, John D. Willis (Alabama, Blake Shelton, Faith Hill, Florida Georgia Line, Gretchen Wilson, Kenny Chesney, Jewel, Luke Bryan, Shania Twain, Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw, Willie Nelson) for Mount Wills Productions. “Cowboy Killer” is one of those “feel good” songs that will have you crankin’ up the volume and singin’ and dancing along in no time. In the song, Summer gets her country on and sets her aim high on a certain cowboy she has her eyes on. With its infectious groove and smokin’ guitars, the stellar production allows Summers’ rich, soaring vocals and signature note-bending to shine through. If you listen carefully, you can hear the young talent’s musical influences – from the earlier sounds of Tanya Tucker, Gretchen Wilson, Martina McBride, and Miranda Lambert to Carrie Underwood and Lainey Wilson. The animated background vocals and harmonies, compliments of Errica Latza, are the icing on the cake!

“‘Cowboy Killer’ was born in just an hour and a half – a testament to our creative synergy,” reflects Summer. “Ericca sparked the initial idea, which resonated with all of us. This song holds a special place in my heart as it allowed me to explore a more mature writing style. I am incredibly grateful for the collaborative spirit of Ericca and Bill, who always empower me to express myself freely. Our sessions are incredibly productive, often resulting in two new songs within a mere three hours. Working with them is truly an inspiring experience!”

“It’s raining on the pavement on a corner in Cheyenne
There’s a lonely desperado with a lighter in his hand
They say them Marlboro Reds are gonna take him to his grave
But Cowboy Killer is my name

Yeah, that boy’s a goner but he just don’t know it yet
There’s a smoke ring halo hanging low over his head
But I’m the burning kinda hit, that’s gonna take his breath away
Cause Cowboy Killer is my name

Oh… 
He’s a tumbleweed that’s born to roll
A wild Mustang taillights on the road
I’m a pretty pistol been working on her aim
Cause Cowboy Killer is my name

If I end up on a poster with a bounty on my head
Let ’em lock me up cause I dressed to knock him dead
That lipstick in my holster, well that’s the one smoking gun to blame
Cause Cowboy Killer is my name

Chorus

It’s raining on the pavement on a corner in Cheyenne
I’m spinning my wheels, hot on the heels of a real wanted man”
