Ingrid Andress has set a record for the all-time highest streaming debut album from a female country artist with “Lady Like”
There’s been a lot of collective good news to go around for serious fans of country music this year, with an airplay chart that had three solo women in the top 10 for the first time since the early 2010s, and now, two female freshmen in the top 5.
You’ve said that you were initially reluctant to write it the way you did, because you prefer to be the person that’s the position of doing the breaking up, not potentially being broken up with. And you do have this kind of tough persona. [She laughs.] So did you have any reluctance to have your first exposure to people be a song that might register as worrying about being hurt in a relationship?
The collection is eight songs. Knowing that most people are streaming individual songs anyway anymore, are you thinking of eight songs as an album or EP? When I first saw you perform in L.A. at the Hotel Café, you seemed to be in a classic singer-songwriter mode — no one would have walked in off the street in Hollywood and considered it too twangy. And you’re from Colorado, originally, not one of the Southern states that produce most country artists. So I worried that maybe you didn’t have enough of the cultural or musical signifiers that the country mainstream sometimes demands to be immediately accepted there. But obviously I needn’t have.
It made headlines recently that there were three women in the country airplay top 10 for the first time since 2013.And two of you three women are doing it with debut singles, which is an even rarer achievement. You want to be considered as an individual, of course, but is it fun for you to be part of this wave that people are excited about?
I mean, it is called being the modern woman. We have those wide range of emotions because that’s just the society we live in now. I want to embody all the emotions I have, because that is I feel part of being a female. But also, you know, in my life, I pretty much am used to doing things on my own and getting things done. So it’s just the personality clash of being tough, but also not afraid to tell you that I’m upset about something or that my heart got broken.
