Daisy Briggs releases new music video

Born and raised in Newport, Rhode Island, Daisy Briggs has been chasing melodies and meaning since she was twelve. A natural storyteller with a guitar in hand, her musical journey began in childhood and led her straight to Nashville, the heartland of country music, where she’s been staking her claim as one of the genre’s rising new artists. Now based in Music City, Daisy stands as a songwriter in the truest sense, penning all her material herself, crafting songs that speak directly to the heart of growing up, letting go and learning self-worth.

Her path to Nashville was a long time coming; after learning guitar at thirteen, she made her first pilgrimage to the city the following year, performing an open mic at the iconic Bluebird Café, a rite of passage for countless country dreamers. By eighteen, she’d officially made the move, enrolling in Belmont University to study Music Business while cutting her teeth in the local scene through regular performances at Belcourt Taps and Tin Roof.

The release of her debut single “Once Upon a Time in a Small Town” in 2021 marked her first step into the studio, setting in motion a career that’s been steadily accelerating ever since, followed up with several singles and her first EP, nice knowing you, which landed in 2023. “I do what I do because I love telling stories. If I can tell my story in a way that resonates with someone else’s experience, I’ve done my job. Most days I get in the car, put on music, and just drive around Nashville. It clears my mind and changes my mood. I want other people to get in their cars and drive around singing along to my songs. I want my music to help them process their own worlds,” she shares.

Now she brings us her latest release with her new single titled “cold shoulder,” produced by Jordan Davis. Inspired by a real-life relationship, the song paints a scene of that all-too-familiar push and pull between nostalgia and self-preservation. Through scattered snapshots of a tan line, a white tee and a fading summer, she captures the ache of remembering someone who never quite deserved you.

But “cold shoulder” isn’t a breakup song so much as a declaration of freedom. “It’s my ode to letting go of male validation. It’s about urging other women to say ‘how lucky would he be to get to spend time with me,’ and not the other way around,” she explains. That mindset defines her current creative era which celebrates self-assurance and the courage to walk away. Wrapped in a delicate country pop setting, intricate guitar flickers are met by Daisy’s silky vocals as the crisp snap of the beat injects a slick groove into the arrangement.

Rising to an infectious chorus of instantly memorable melodic leads and subtly danceable rhythms, the track serves up a delightful jam that’s thoroughly charming and impossible not to love. Paired with the single is a music video that brings the song to life on screen through scene of Daisy performing the song cut with shots of her driving around hanging out the car window, mirroring the context of liberating freedom at the heart of the song.
