I do agree that this may have been one of the best choices on the EP, but they needed to capitalize off the hype from CRS back in February instead of waiting around so long to release this as by the time this was announced as a single at least for myself completely forgot about the CRS performance as it had been months since then and there was pretty much no hype around Mickey Guyton by then and it seemed like the label wasn't promoting her that much in between CRS and this going to radio beyond "Black Like Me" and this being released than the EP.

Sadly I think COVID-19 severely hampered the rollout they had planned for her. In some ways it worked out because then "Black Like Me" got to have a bit of a viral moment for her over the summer and got her more attention in the mainstream outside of just CRS praise from radio PDs. Their mistake now is not either trying to push "Tell Her?" after the ACM performance hype or having anything more radio-friendly to best serve her at getting country radio on board. "Heaven Down Here" is unfortunately too down the middle that it is neither exciting radio or fans, though she's apparently performing it on the CMAs, so maybe that'll boost the song some.

I know I probably shouldn't post this in this thread, but I'm going to anyway because I don't know where else to put it. :)

Nice to see her switch it up and perform another EP track! Every little bit of exposure helps.
Her NPR Tiny Desk performance was also stellar!
As was her Bob Dylan cover on the Stand Up for Heroes special!
And sheโs featured on the title track of Dean Brodyโs new album.

The way she ATE "Tell Her?" in that Tiny Desk performance. Ugh. She's so brilliant and talented. I'm not a big fan of Dean Brody's voice, but she did a great job on "Boys" and it's nice to see her land a random feature cut like that on a male singer's album.

I wish this was smashing. I am like 90% sure she will get a best new artist nomination at the Grammys, hopefully that will help this songโs chances

"Black Like Me" was nominated for Best Country Solo Performance at the Grammys!
I'm so proud of her, and I wasn't expecting it at all.
(I know there's a thread for Black Like Me but I thought it would be better to post it here than to bump an old thread).

Since country radio doesn't seem like they plan on embracing Mickey it would be neat if she could carve out her own niche like Kacey has done. Hope she can get a performance slot at the Grammy's to perform "Black Like Me."

Awesome for Mickey!! At least she's getting the recognition she so deserves. I'd love it, also, if either Black Like Me or Bluebird won โฅ

I am really happy she has gotten a lot of exposure in the back half of 2020 even without any radio play. I think she could be building herself a career without radio.

Considering all the stuff that is going on in the country music industry today, and the fact that it is Black History Month, and that women always need more exposure in this industry, I have decided now is a great time to honor Mickey's catalog with a rankdown!! I hope to see a huge turnout, like she deserves!! Mickey Guyton Rankdown

I think she has a legit chance at the ACM. She has no radio play, but her name is out there just as much as the other ladies (and moreso than Caylee or Tenille Arts) and I think her talent is undeniable.

At this point sheโs definitely going to have a breakout hit; itโs just a matter of which song and when.

She's got to be performing "Black Like Me" right? She has to It's the one nominated for the Grammy and the majority reason why she got the uptick in mainstream recognition she did last year, so I would be shocked if she didn't. "Tell Her?" would make for an excellent performance as well, but it would be odd for her to sing that at this point when "Black Like Me" is the song responsible for getting her the slot.

I don't think Mickey Guyton will ever see radio success but I do think she is kind of carving a path similar to that of Kacey Musgraves which is nice to see.

This song wasnโt that fantastic, though it should have at least charted. A better single with the buzz sheโs generating might make some waves.

This song wasnโt that fantastic, though it should have at least charted. A better single with the buzz sheโs generating might make some waves. That's what I'm thinking as well. Looking at the Kacey example since others have brought her up, and well, after the huge night she had at the Grammys it kinda forced radio into playing "Rainbow" due to the hype surrounding her at the time and it blasted onto the charts and into the top 40. Even though it hit a brick wall not too long after its hot start due to it not really being a song tailor-made for mass radio play, it still made an impression and I think Mickey Guyton is definitely capable of some moderate chart success even though I doubt she ever really breaks through to consistent mainstream attention the way Kelsea, Maren, or Carly have. She could still be a Lauren Alaina-type of artist for country radio though.

Holy shit. That is huge! I am going to be excited to watch the ACMs for the first time in a really long time now! I hope she has a new single to launch at the awards so they can actually push it and get this girl the hit she deserves.
