OK, this isn’t exactly my new song obsession. It’s my husband’s. He’s besotted with Shea Fisher, and it’s not hard to see why. She’s a stunner. But she’s more than just a pretty face. This song may not set the world on fire, but it’s a really easy-to-listen to slice of pop. It might just be what she needs to successfully make the move from country singer to mainstream star.

Shea Fisher’s No Everyday Girl
Australia has an unlikely new star in the form of rodeo queen Shea Fisher. The 19-year-old looks to challenge popular opinions about country music with her debut album, Everyday Girl.
“I don’t write about cats or dogs dying or hay bales; I want to write songs about the things that matter to teenage girls,” she told The Daily Telegraph.
“I want to break some of the myths about country music, for it to be cool and appeal to a younger market as it does in America.”
For this, Shea travelled to Nashville, the heart of country music, to record her debut release.
While she hopes to hit the mainstream charts, there’s no denying that Shea is a country girl. The Queenslander is the daughter of bull riding champion Eddie Fisher. Shea grew up riding bulls, but has now swapped this extreme sport for barrel racing.
“It’s way too dangerous to combine bull racing and singing,” she joked.
Everyday Girl is released in Australia on Saturday.
