Finally! I've been patiently waiting for them to try her at country radio. She really impressed me with her first two releases ("Happyland Trailer Park" and "Don't Do It in Texas"), though her next too ("Get a Dog" and "'Til I See You Again") left me underwhelmed as they were rather meh. Thankfully "I Just Killed a Man" is a pivot back into the direction of the former set that I loved. I think I'd place this right below both of those though, and I'm not sure if I see this being a big hit for her. It's pretty and a strong lyric, but it's a little pedestrian in tempo and feel. Not sure if this will stand out enough to be a breakout, but I am definitely rooting for her as she's got potential.

I do hope this gets OTV as I don't know if it will take off otherwise. Here's hoping at least.

Happy to see Catie finally getting her radio debut. I love the songwriting on this song, but the production didn’t do much for me. I’m sure overtime it’ll grow on me, but nonetheless rooting for this song!

Yeah I found myself getting bored with this one. She is talented but she will need the right material to break through.

This is not bad, and glad to see her releasing a radio single. Although I definitely want her to score a hit, not sure this is strong enough to get traction. I wish she had just sent "Happyland Trailer Park," as that is her strongest song to this date imo.

Really like this, but as others have noted, this doesn't really feel like a proper debut single. I'm a big fan of Catie's, so I'll be rooting for it, but it's certainly not as immediate as her previous releases. "Happyland Trailer Park" is just sitting there waiting to smash, though I know labels don't really like pushing previous releases as lead singles.

4th most added with 26 stations and a total of 27 stations. Not bad at all. Nothing outstanding, but fine overall.

This was going up against some heavy competition, so not a bad start per se. It doesn't leave me particularly hopeful that this will be her breakthrough hit though. I like this song but it still feels a bit pedestrian for something that's meant to launch a new country singer, especially a female. Would love to be proven wrong and be surprised.

[Kanenrá:ke]

Yeah given there were bigger names in the mix I'm not disappointed with this total. We've seen worse before that do pretty good. Hoping for the best here.

Haven't heard of her before but impressed of the word play throughout the song. I think this will connect.

[countryfan43]

Seems like this one is completely done now. I’m kind of surprised it never charted given the add date but I prefer other new female artists like Megan Moroney better so I’m not that upset.

She put out another new song on Friday:
