Rising country star Abby Christo has today treated fans to a beautiful one-take acoustic performance of her hit single Note To Self.
Made with the support of NZ on Air and accompanied by guitarist Jacky McCormack, this performance was filmed remotely, in a peaceful farm setting to reflect the carefree feel of the song - which is currently in the Hot 20 NZ Singles Chart (having debuted at #8) and RadioScope NZ Airplay Chart.
Note To Self is a great country-pop song full of optimistic, feel-good Nashville vibes and all about letting go of the things out of your control. “I suffer from bad anxiety," says Abby, "so I wanted to write a song to listen to when I’m overthinking. A song that says ‘some things are meant to be, others aren’t.” Based between Sydney, Australia and New Zealand (Auckland and Taranaki), Note To Self was made with the support of NZ On Air and written and recorded between the two countries - both in-studio and remotely. Abby says that the country sounds reflect her passion for country music, and that the honest, raw lyrics represent who she is as a person. “I’m vulnerable, optimistic, curious, and my music gives me a platform to be able to express it all.”
Abby Christo first stepped into the spotlight in 2015, when she appeared on X- Factor NZ as part of duo Mae Valley. They broke charts with their debut self-titled EP and played alongside global country megastars like Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood and Kelsea Ballerini. In 2017, Abby spent 2 years finding her voice as a solo artist, penning her debut single Kiss Me Into Monday, which has had over 1.4 million streams. It was during the pandemic Abby wrote her debut solo EP Slow Down Girl - an EP that contains her most authentic music yet. She went on to sell out her first headline Sydney show in July 2022, celebrating the release of her EP. With new music on the horizon, many listeners will find solace and hope in Abby Christo’s country songs.
