Rising Nashville artist Chandler Marie is set to drop her new single Embers on Friday, August 14, building on the momentum of last month’s release Supposed to Be Easy along with her recent Bluebird Cafe debut. The new track turns late-night attraction into a modern country anthem, capturing that familiar space between chemistry and consequence.
While the hook and energy make it instantly fun, the story underneath is honest and relatable – two people drawn to a spark they know may burn out, but can’t seem to resist.
Blending modern country energy with pop and Americana influence, Embers showcases the confident sound Chandler has been developing while staying grounded in honest storytelling. Built to be turned up loud and lived in, the track features lyrics like, “We burn out so fast, but I can’t let us go // We both know that we shouldn’t but you’re back in my bed // 100 proof so we don’t remember // Setting fire to the sheets like embers.” The modern country track with crossover instincts sits comfortably alongside artists like Kelsea Ballerini, Carly Pearce, Lainey Wilson, and Miranda Lambert.
Speaking about the song, Chandler says:
“This song really shows my appreciation for all kinds of music. It blends different genres in a way that feels natural to me, pulling a little something from each style that has inspired me along the way. It is the kind of song you can turn up loud and jam out to.”
With rising streaming numbers, growing live demand highlighted by her recent Bluebird Cafe debut, and more new music on the horizon, Embers is positioned to be another strong single for Chandler as she continues to make her mark on the country music scene. The track brings together some of Nashville’s top session players, creative collaborators and producers, led by Robbie Artress, known for his work with artists including Priscilla Block.
