NBC’s ‘The Voice’ winner Danielle Bradbery books ‘Today Show’ performance

Danielle Bradbery

Within the span of just a month, Danielle Bradbery is managing to do something that has taken many other singing-show winners several months or even a year to pull off: Going from the show to the recording studio, launching a lead single, and then performing it on national television. Danielle is pulling all of that off with “The Heart of Dixie,” her new single that will be dropping on Tuesday. Not only that, but we’ve also now learned via press release that the song will be performed on “The Today Show” on the following day, and will impact country radio on Monday, July 22.

In a statement, here is what Danielle had to say about this song (which you can listen to a snippet of here), and the story about strength that she finds through its lyrics:

“The first time I heard this song I thought about the emotions in it. For me, Dixie’s story is about inspiration … it is so honest. People of all ages and backgrounds supported me on The Voice and I love that this song shows how we can have the same feelings through different experiences, no matter where we are in life.”

In some ways through this statement, you could almost sense that Danielle is firing back at some of her critics, who have questioned whether or not the song’s lyrics are something that she could relate to. From our perspective, we’re really not worried about this selling copies, or about her performance on live TV since she probably has that down at this point. Her big challenge is going to be breaking into country radio as a woman, which is one of the most impossible tasks out there. Unless your name is Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, or Miranda Lambert these days, you may have trouble.
