From American Idol to her first number one song last year, Lauren Alaina’s journey has not been an easy one. Her first record, Wildflower, was released shortly after Idol, full of songs she didn't write and songs she rarely plays out anymore, save the uptempo “Georgia Peaches.” A couple of singles were released following the record, but none were successful and Alaina fell off the map for a while. But in 2017, she re-emerged with her new record Road Less Travelled, one of 2017’s best.
“Three” is the third track *cue a chuckle* on that stellar record, and it’s Alaina’s story through and through. The record as a whole hints at some struggles in Alaina’s personal life, but this song focuses solely on music and Alaina’s dream since she was 3 years old coming true.
This new VEVO Live performance of the song hints to this being her next single, a risky but bold move. She explains in the video about how she spent six years missing her loved ones and their lives just to get on the radio. It’s a love letter to radio, but also truthful and honest of how the life of a country star isn’t all red carpets and glamour.
Alaina performs the song live in this video, and the emotion in her vocals is so clear. She feels every line of this song, because more than any song before, this song is her.
Country radio may not see the merit of playing this song due to the content and sound not being the same as everything else on the radio, but take one listen to this song, and you’ll see how much Alaina has sacrificed for country radio. Now it’s time for country radio to do something for Lauren Alaina.
Watch Alaina talk a little more about “Three” and sing the track below.
