Out country sensation Fancy Hagood is back and better than ever!
Today, the GLAAD Media Award nominated artist dropped a brand new single titled “Losing Game.” Listen to it here:
The song is described as a delicate country love song about the rush of jumping headfirst into romance with someone you know isn’t quite right.
Hagood, who’s been praised by Brandi Carlile as an “artist to watch” and Elton John who stated, “We need more people like Fancy,” has more exciting news for fans; his sophomore album American Spirit, is coming soon!
Debuting on October 25th, American Spirit is described as both a return and an arrival for Fancy, an embracement of his past while moving forward into his future.
The album features guest vocals from Michelle Branch and Nickel Creek’s Sean and Sara Watkins, and contains songs produced by John Osborne of The Brothers Osborne.
The out country star said that, “I knew after Southern Curiosity had been well received by this community that I wanted to go pedal to the metal and really go back to my roots and that original dream of wanting to be a country artist.” The joy he found in creating music again seeps into the music itself. “It’s like I’m sitting at a table where I don’t have to explain myself,” he said, “and I just wish I could invite the younger versions of myself to this moment to say, ‘Look, we’re doing it, and it feels really good.’ In some ways, this album is really for that 17-year-old who was brave enough to move to Nashville and beat the door down and say, ‘I belong here.’”
On the single, Hagood shared that, “I wrote this song in 2020 during the pandemic. Dealing with some personal trauma of my own and the loneliness that was 2020, I found myself falling into old habits and being a bit boy crazy. This song is about knowing someone is absolutely not good for you, but jumping in headfirst anyway, just for the rush!”
