Ashley Gearing - "What You Think About Us"

In 2003 Ashley Gearing scored a Top 40 hit with the single “Can You Hear Me When I Talk To You?” It was released by Lyric Street Records and it broke a 46-year-old chart record held by Brenda Lee as the youngest solo singer ever to enter the country charts. 11 at the time, Ashley Gearing recently turned 19 and while she released an independent album in 2006, it wasn’t really until her partnership with Curb Records that found the singer returning to the national stage.

Written with Ben Glover and Brian Davis, “What You Think About Us” is a song that finds Ashley singing about the boy in her life and as she listens to him list off the things he loves and wants to do, Ashley simply asks him “what he thinks about us?” While some could consider the question something that would only be asked by an insecure girl, in reality this is a question that all people – particularly young women – think about all the time, particularly when the relationship is in its early stages.

Blessed with the kind of vocals that many female country artists would ‘die’ for, Ashley shows off how well she can wring the emotion of the lyric out. While the production is ‘big’ like some of the very best singles from Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Ashley is able to sing the ‘hell’ out of the song and turn it into an instantly memorable piece of music that is nothing, if not radio ready.

Ashley Gearing Releases New Single, “What You Think About Us” to Country Radio

(Nashville, Tenn. – Aug. 30, 2010) Curb Records recording artist Ashley Gearing has officially released her new single, “What You Think About Us,” to Country radio, debuting this week on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.

Co-written by Gearing with Brian Davis and Ben Glover, “What You Think About Us” is the first single off the young singer’s much-anticipated debut for Curb Records. Gearing has been working on the upcoming album with renowned music producer Byron Gallimore (Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Jo Dee Messina) since signing with the label. The as-yet-untitled album is scheduled for release in the coming months.

Respected Nashville music critic Robert K. Oermann praised Gearing’s “What You Think About Us” in Music Row, saying, “This rumbling rocker has enough ‘bottom’ to kick you right out of your seat and send you twirling around the room. It’s a big, big sound, but [Gearing] manages to ride atop the whole thing with plenty of vocal authority. Sing it, sister.”

Since July, the 19-year-old singer-songwriter has been on a multi-leg radio tour in support of the single, visiting nearly 40 stations from coast to coast in just over a month. Gearing has continued to play festivals and concerts during the tour, including an Aug. 20 performance of the national anthem at Boston Red Sox game.

“To say that Chuck and I both were very impressed with this young lady would certainly be an understatement for sure,” said Linda Lee, of Detroit’s 99.5 WYCD duo, Edwards & Lee. “Nineteen-year-old singer/songwriter Ashley Gearing visited us in studio to chat and blew us away with her vocal stylings! We both think she has definite ‘Star Quality,’ and think you will agree!”

At 12 years old, Ashley Gearing became the youngest Country artist ever to appear on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart after releasing “Can You Hear Me When I Talk to You.” Since then, Gearing has received ASCAP’s Uncut Diamond Award and has performed numerous times on the Grand Ole Opry.
