Latest Song Drops Ahead of Debut Album Release
Country/Americana artist Katy Hurt is closing out the rollout of her hotly anticipated debut album with one more single. “Before The Ice Melts” arrives on April 18th, marking the eighth and final single from her upcoming record, “Gimme A Break”, which drops May 23rd.
“Saved the best for last” Hurt teases. Co-written with longtime collaborator Gab Zsapka and produced by Murray Pulver (The Bros. Landreth, Doc Walker). The track is about holding on to something broken just a little longer to delay the inevitable heartbreak and is a confession of weakness, choosing familiar bad habits over closure. Once again, showcasing Hurt’s signature blend of atmospheric Americana and lyrical vulnerability.
Recorded at Stereobus Recording in Winnipeg, “Before The Ice Melts” serves as a poignant final chapter before the full story of Gimme A Break is revealed – a project years in the making that has already earned Katy critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase across the UK and beyond.
Fresh off the soul stirring Seasons collaboration with Joey Landreth in January and the empowering March release of Rather Be, Katy has been taking 2025 by storm and clearly has no plans to slow down.
For fans of Lady A and Sheryl Crow, “Before The Ice Melts” delivers an unmistakable edge that continues to cement Katy’s place as one of the most exciting upcoming voices in modern country.

Artist Bio –
Born in London and raised in the US, Katy Hurt was drawn to the sounds of Country, Americana, and Southern Rock from a young age, inspired by legends such as Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, The Eagles and Patsy Cline.
Since her debut in 2016, she has built a reputation as one of the most exciting voices in UK country, releasing a string of critically acclaimed singles and EPs that showcase her versatile range and dynamic songwriting. Her talent has earned her multiple UK Country Music Spotlight Awards, including Female Vocalist of the Year, Best EP, Best Song, and Best Video.
A seasoned live performer, Katy has toured extensively across the UK, Canada, and beyond, gracing the stages of major festivals such as Country 2 Country at the O2 Arena, Pilton Party on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, and the Isle of Wight Festival. Her time in Canada—where she now considers a second home—deeply influenced her sound, leading to a series of standout singles like “Sounds Good In A Bar” and “Wish I Could Give You Up”, both of which hit Number 1 on the UK iTunes charts upon release and earned radio play on CBC, Sirius XM, KIX Australia, and Amazon Music playlists.
Katy’s upcoming debut album, produced by Murray Pulver, is her most personal and ambitious work yet. Her latest releases have continued to gain recognition, with her single “Face to Face” featured in the 2024 movie “Slingshot” starring Casey Affleck and Laurence Fishburne.
