Danielle Bradbery wrote seven of the ten songs on her album, I Don’t Believe We’ve Met, including her latest single, “Worth It,” and when she started writing, she knew she wanted to evolve her sound and branch out a little.  She says, “I had the thought process of just going into a write and not having any rules or any setbacks or anything. And I told them, I said, ‘I know there’s some rules that we have to follow or keep aware of.  Let’s just write.  Let’s just write, have fun …’ or if it was an outside song I’d hear it and just automatically feel connected or I’m jammin’ to it and it just feels natural. And I said, ‘If we have to fix something later then we’ll fix it. But right now let’s just do it.’”

Part of wanting to take that no holds barred approach to her songwriting was because she wanted to incorporate some of her musical influences from when she was growing up.  Danielle says talking to her co-writers, “I’m like, well, I honestly, I don’t want to stay in one lane. I kind of want to risk it a little bit and go off of different genres and kind of intertwine those together. And I wouldn’t say I do the pop country. I do more, and I love more, R&B country and I feel like those two mend together a lot better.”

You can definitely hear some of that R&B influence in “Worth It,” which Danielle just released to country radio.

“I had the thought process of just going into a write and not having any rules or any setbacks or anything. And I told them, I said, ‘I know there’s some rules that we have to follow or keep aware of.  Let’s just write.  Let’s just write, have fun …’ or if it was an outside song I’d hear it and just automatically feel connected or I’m jammin’ to it and it just feels natural. And I said, ‘If we have to fix something later then we’ll fix it. But right now let’s just do it.’ And so with the inspiration of so many different genres growing up, I honestly, I don’t want to stay in one lane. I kind of want to risk it a little bit and go off of different genres and kind of intertwine those together. And I wouldn’t say I do the pop country. I do more, and I love more, R&B country and I feel like those two mend together a lot better.”
