The Gina and Maddie Podcast.

We are going to hear some new music from the one and Only Gina Jeffrey.

It's been a really, really long time since I've recorded any new music. I think the last one we went to Nashville and made my album Beautiful Tangle, right before COVID, and then we went to go on tour and COVID hit, So that was kind of the last time I recorded. And when you're married to the record producer, it's exactly like if you got a leaky tap and you're married to a plumber, you get the last bit of attention. So it's hard to get in to get to record a song. So it came in a bit of a roundabout way. Rod came home with a song that they'd written and played it, just an acoustic demo of this song called worn In, And I said to him, I love that because I hear everything of every artist in its acoustic form.

First he's on the tools of the protest, he's the.

Record producer, and he brings them home and I get to hear stuff early, and I said, I love, love, love that song. And of course he wrote it with beautiful Courtney Kyle, and then I got a phone call from court and she said, would you like to sing a duet with me on this song? I'm like, I love this song, it's very country, but I said, you should ask someone else who's out touring, more like ask someone you know, like like a big you know, big touring artists who's still out there. So she did and they said no.

She asked me first.

She asked me first, let's put that out there. And I was so honored because I adore Courtney. We're great friends and I've been she's been in my life for a few years now and love this song. And so it's actually Courtney Kyle's song, Welcome to the to the studio.

Court Hi, And it didn't go down.

It's the first thing she told me. That is the first thing she told me. I said, it's amazing on the paper first, she's.

Very much playing it down. But it's so incredible to have you on this song. It's very special.

It must be really special for you, court because not only is Gina like the queen of country music in Australia to be able to have a duet with her, but someone who's your mentor as well, it must be really special.

Oh, It's incredible, and it's one of those pinch yourself moments because, as you know a kid, you grew up listening to all the icons of country music. I loved country music ever since I was little. And to now think if I could have told little Courtney, then you get to be mentored by the beautiful Gena Jeffries and now have a duet with her. It's It's one of those incredible full circle moments. So I feel very privileged.

Thank you.

It's funny that we were doing this this morning, because on the way into work today, Courtney, I saw your head on the big screen.

At gosspe at RSL when I was driving past, So it.

Just pops up everywhere.

You got some gigs going on there, dude, I do got to keep there. Also, don't cover your face and your promo photos. You could get your profile out there. Don't cover your face.

Your face. Yeah, she's got a beautiful face.

And we were talking off air, court and this is very close to your heart, and I know a bit about it because I mentor a lot of artists. But being an artist, nearly every single country music artist that I know has another job because you it's expensive and even think of someone as big as Casey Chambers. She also produces other artists and has a home studio thing that where she does events and all that kind of stuff. Most artists me, I'm on the radio and run a singing and performance school because it's it's expensive, but new artists like Courtney, all of them have a side hustle. And of course we're lucky enough that Courtney Kyle works here on the radio station.

Are you?

Are you in charge of producer loss as farewell party? Is that you that's organizing that they have.

Had a hand in?

Okay, interesting.

Events here, So I think you just get to sit back.

And enjoy topless waiters.

Turn out that was a surprise, and I'll send you.

Free every day, all right? So should we?

Yeah?

Courtney, would you like to do the honors? Because it's a snippet? When does it? When does this song come out officially?

Officially next Friday, the twenty eighth of June. And we don't tend to do snippets that often because you know, as an artists would like to be mysterious, but we thought why.

Not for me? Yeah? And people can pre save it now.

I can make it now if they go to Gena's socials, my socials. You can pre say it, go to iTunes, Spotify, all the spots.

But we thought we.

Should give an exclusive listen to all the incredible style listeners. So here's a little snippet of worn in.

Up till now, up till now.
