With her 13th studio album released just days ago, fans are enjoying new music from multi-Platinum artist, Martina McBride. She has a knack for recording songs that connect with her fans. And if you think you hear a lot of emotion in her new single, there’s a reason. She told Taste of Country that she’s never recorded a song as vulnerable as “Reckless,” and said, “I was tearing up in the vocal booth because I was just so grateful for the song.”
As always, the four-time CMA Female Vocalist of the Year listens to what her fans say…and this song has been receiving standing ovations since day one. From the looks of Martina’s schedule this year, she’ll be seeing that a lot…
