Award-winning country artist Ainslie Allen gives fans a taste of what’s to come on her upcoming debut album Betty, with the release of her stirring new single Maserati.
Listen to Maserati HERE
Ainslie describes Maserati as a “dreamer’s song”. Honest and poignant, it tells the story of a single mother wanting to make the best life possible for her son. “It’s relatable to many parents and caregivers throughout the world,” she says.
With a swampy sound of dobro and acoustic guitar, cleverly produced and mixed by the legendary Ben Edwards at the Sitting Room in Lyttelton, Maserati showcases Ainslie’s mesmerising vocals and the depth and vulnerability of her songwriting.
The single is accompanied by a video filmed at the Wairarapa Country Music Festival in January 2021 by Hans Weston Films. Watch HERE
Unafraid to tackle difficult issues that take the listener on an emotional journey, Ainslie has earned a reputation as one of the most magnetic and inspiring artists in New Zealand country music. Hailing from Titahi Bay, Ainslie (Rongowhakaata) wrote her first song at age eight. At 12, she entered the Country Music Awards, winning her first guitar. By 15 she was a lead on TV2's hit series, McDonald's Young Entertainers.
Ainslie’s first album Betty will be released in May. It will contain the already-released single Done and Gone alongside Maserati and a host of new songs, which leave no question - 2021 is Ainslie Allen’s year!
