Back in August 2015 we introduced you to Leslie Cours Mather as one of our Fresh Finds. Today we are here to let you know about her new single “We Are America.”
The message of this song is inspiring and comes at the perfect time when it seems that our country is becoming divided on a variety of issues.
Check out our exclusive behind the scenes look into the writing of “We Are America” with Leslie.
It comes as no surprise that Leslie is such a powerful country music artist since her country idols include Linda Ronstadt, Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride and Dolly Parton. “It’s the idea of strong women in country music. I’m inspired by women who pave the way and pioneer something,” said Leslie.
Leslie is an up and coming artist with three time Country Breakout charting singles, and a deeply inspirational story. The new single, which premiered nationwide on Heartland TV just achieved New & Active status on the Billboard country charts.
For Leslie Cours Mather, the story begins in Singapore, where she was born. But, the roads she has traveled are many. With her father serving his country as a member of the United States Army, the story includes a few other stops along the way – Indonesia, Virginia, Orlando, New Jersey, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, South Carolina, Nashville, and Los Angeles all have been places that she has called home.
That upbringing inspired her debut single, and title track from her next album, “Countrified.” “I wrote ‘Countrified’ because I questioned where I fit in,” says Leslie. “My identity can’t come from one town because I have lived so many places, but my roots are country. I chose the word ‘Countrified’ as a fun way of expressing what it feels like to be a person with country roots who lives a big city life.”
Now Leslie is a homeschooling mother of three, who splits her time between Los Angeles and Nashville and has been documenting her journey in a web show, Countrified.
