 Kassi Ashton is clapping back at lying exes on her latest single, “Called Crazy,” out now via MCA Nashville. Listen to/share the powerful new track HERE.
Ashton’s confidence reverberates throughout the song as she calls out the hypocrisy of men who praise her independence, only to chastise her for it when it no longer serves them. On creating the song, Ashton explains, “This wasn't a fancy hook or Nashville flip I had going into my co-write with Jared Keim and Emily Weisband. This was just one single, universal bit of truth that I think all women would agree with; any man who has ever called me crazy, has called me again. After explaining it to them, Emily sang "I never been called crazy by a man who didn't come back" just as you hear the melody in the song. I looked at her and sang "for more". We knew we had a smash and freaked out until the last word was written. I've been playing this out live here and there for the past six months and the screams I get from the women of the crowd after the first chorus hits tells me I was right in my assumption. Whether you want to pick up the phone when they call again, that's for "crazy" you to decide.” “Called Crazy” is Ashton’s first release of 2024, following her sultry rendition of Christina Aguilera’s “Genie In A Bottle” released last November. In 2023, Ashton also released her Top 40 hit, “Drive You Out Of My Mind,” and its silky, slowed-down companion, “Drive You Out Of My Mind (Dark Room Edition),” released in September. “Drive You Out Of My Mind” received praise from Billboard, Music Row, Country Now and more for its energetic production and irresistible lyricism. Ashton also completed an extensive run of dates with Old Dominion, where she brought her rich vocals to fans nationwide. This year, Ashton is back on the road for several headlining performances, festival appearances, and more performances with Old Dominion. Full list of tour dates below!
