Today Franco-American artist Tess Liautaud releases a rockin’ alt-country banger.

The recipe for any country hit worth its weight is a catchy hook and a healthy measure of wry wit, all rolled up with swagger and aplomb.

Liautaud wrote Gold Digger in Otago while imagining a song that John Prine might sing, and though the result is uniquely her own, there is a throughline; honest truths cloaked in humorous word play and a simple melody.

After releasing her debut album in 2022, Gold Digger is bursting with crunchy guitars and that Americana feel-good delivery, a taste of good things to come.

The song is paired with a playful, old-timey music video filmed in the wilds of Arthur’s Pass and Otira. Tess and her band will celebrate its release with a tour of Aotearoa.
