(Nashville, TN. – August 4th, 2023) – Singer/songwriter, storyteller, and musician, Taylor Borton is excited to release her new single and debut EP, both titled “Lyrics In My Head.” The entire project is self-written and self-produced. The hauntingly compelling single that highlights Borton’s uniquely transparent vocals and unforgettable groove, paired with harmonica and pedal steel, will be featured on Radio SoBro’s NuMu Friday at 10:30 AM and 3 PM CST and shares an important and relatable universal message. “I’m very independent and am most of the time my own motivator. This song took me to an inspirational place reminding me to listen to my “gut” … in other words, the lyrics in your head. Don’t beat yourself up over things you can’t control,”  Borton reflects. Listen HERE.

“The lyrics in my head are tellin’ the same story again
They talk to me when I’m feelin’ a bit down and outta my own skin
And they say girl remember why you ended up back here in the first place? 
I argue back cuz even though I’m fightin’ myself I still wanna get my way


It’s sad to say, but isn’t that the truth?
When you think you’re walkin’ the line
It’s walkin’ all over you
You just need that little reminder,
You’ve got a heart and you’ve gotta go find her sometimes
Don’t beat yourself up, it’s not a fight you’re gonna win in the end 
Just listen to the lyrics in your head


I haven’t been on Earth too long
But I’ve been here long enough to feel some hurt
I’ve got good friends to talk to but what can they say when you’re not in the same boat
Then I’m right back to where I started sittin’ here broken-hearted thinkin’ it through
I’ve been told I’m too in my head but that’s all that I have left…”


Borton will host an EP release showcase for “Lyrics In My Head” on Saturday, August 12th at Hidden Creek Music (220 Old Hickory Boulevard, Nashville, TN., 37221 – upstairs)…where the music was recorded! She will perform her brand new single as well as the other songs off the project with a full band.

ABOUT TAYLOR BORTON
Borton’s distinct, eclectic vocal style and music effortlessly cross multiple genres blending the best of country, Americana, folk, and singer/songwriter. She pulls from each of these genres to create a rich, pure, and unique style of her own adding raw, real-life experiences to create the stories behind each of her songs. Her voice is traditional yet seasoned with an edgy, contemporary flair. Borton credits John Prine, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, and singer/songwriter Lori McKenna as her biggest musical influences. She is an “old soul” with a young and charismatic spirit, and her songwriting is mature well beyond her years. Boton’s songs are very relatable and although she writes from her own personal experiences, her intention is to express those feelings that others may also be feeling and are unable to express to heal.

Taylor Borton recognized her passion for music early on realizing that a music career was her calling. Her parents always had traditional music playing and although they were not musically inclined, that is where she developed her love for that sound. She was always singing, whether in the car, or her bedroom, and would buy CDs to sing along with whenever she could. Throughout elementary school, Borton began writing poems and stories. At age 12, her parents bought her first guitar and when she would accompany herself, the strength of her voice gave her confidence and determination to pursue her dream. At age 14, Borton made her first visit to Nashville with her family and attended a show at the world-famous Grand Ole Opry which was a game-changer. 

At age 19, Borton decided to follow her musical dreams, leaving her hometown of Youngstown, Ohio to head south to “Music City,” and she never looked back. She attended and graduated from The Blackbird Academy, with a degree in audio engineering which provided a solid foundation for Borton’s budding career. The Blackbird Academy is founded by Recording and Live Sound Engineer, John McBride and his wife, country superstar Martina McBride. It is world-renowned both as one of the finest schools in its field, as well as a top production stop for iconic recording artists including Taylor Swift, Jack White, The Black Keys, Rush, Keith Urban, and Queen.

Since moving to Nashville, Borton has been creating a buzz among industry professionals and fans alike. In 2020, she released her debut single, “Give A Damn,” which captures her true spirit and independence, and followed that up with her last four singles, “Native,” “If I Was London,” “Glove Box Lighter,” and “My Opry.” 

When Borton is not writing, she can be found performing at Nashville’s finest venues and music festivals across the southeast and the midwestern U.S. Some of the more recent festivals include American Roots Festival, Franklin Main Street Festival, Tennessee Motorcycles & Music  Revival at Loretta Lynn’s Dude Ranch, and Water Lantern Festival  – all setting the stage for her biggest goal –  to tour and perform around the world. With her talent, drive, and determination, Taylor Borton’s dream is destined to become a reality.
