(Nashville, TN – March 26, 2024) – Rising country music sensation Jay Allen is set to release his highly anticipated new single, “New Girl,” on March 29th. Following the success of his current single, “No Present Like The Time,” which continues to resonate with audiences at country radio, “New Girl” promises to captivate listeners with its heartfelt storytelling and infectious melodies.

“New Girl” delves into the emotional turmoil and healing journey of someone struggling to move on from a past relationship. The lyrics convey a poignant narrative of heartache, the process of letting go, and the hopeful yet painful anticipation of finding new love. The singer grapples with the memories of a lost love, acknowledging that dwelling on the past is not truly living, but rather a waste of time. Despite the desire to move forward, the song captures the inherent challenges of doing so, illustrating a cycle of progress and setbacks marked by efforts to numb the pain, reminders to breathe, and self-assurances that the pain will lessen with time. 

Excited about the new single, Allen shares, “‘New Girl’ is more than just a song to me; it’s a reflection of personal growth, the inner battle to move past old wounds, and the light of hope that guides us forward.”

Raised near Cedar Falls, Iowa, Allen’s musical journey has been influenced by a diverse range of experiences, from his father’s rock performances to the country music soundtracks of long drives with his mother. Since relocating to Nashville in 2013, he has made significant strides in his career, securing publishing and artist deals with major industry players like SONY/ATV.

In 2018, Allen captured global attention with his hit single, “Blank Stares,” a touching tribute to his mother’s battle with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. The song’s poignant message resonated with millions, amassing over 500 million views on Facebook and earning Allen widespread acclaim.

Beyond his musical achievements, Allen is deeply committed to raising awareness for Alzheimer’s disease. He has been actively involved in various international events, including the esteemed Rita Hayworth Gala, and has received accolades for his advocacy work, including The Caregiver Award from the National Alzheimer’s Association.

Allen’s recent invitation to the White House for a private screening of a documentary featuring a theme song he wrote underscores the impact and reach of his music. He continues to support meaningful causes, participating in initiatives such as the First Lady’s Joining Forces campaign and performing for members of Congress at the US Capitol.

In addition to his philanthropic endeavors, Allen has embarked on his first headlining tour, the “Night of Hope Tour,” where he will share personal stories and raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease. Tickets for the tour are available now on his website.
