Stream Belles' New Album 'Midwestern'

(TPR) Rising Country music artist, Belles, is ushering in the next generation of female Country music in the release of her debut album, Midwestern, out now (via East Music Row Records).

The album reflects on her upbringing and is a culmination of influences that weaves a narrative about chasing big dreams, falling in and out of love, and staying grounded to your roots. Described as having "...a penetrating voice, melodic command, strong hooks and a revisionist take on Country's established textures" by Billboard, Belles is a legacy in the making.

The album is led by her viral and charting single, "Son of Jolene" featuring the late global icon, Dolly Parton. Written by Kelli Belles, Dan Harrison, Tyler Bank and Dolly Parton, takes the iconic story from Parton's massive 1973 hit, "Jolene," and as a continuation of the tale, imagines if the titular character's son would take after his flirtatious mother.

The song is Parton's last collaboration released prior to her passing and marks her return to radio with an original track since her 2006 duet with Brad Paisley, "When I Get Where I'm Going," which reached #1. Parton telling PEOPLE Magazine "When I heard 'Son of Jolene,' I thought it was very clever. No one had ever thought of it that way." The song made its Billboard Hot Shots Debut at #51 (9.12.26 closing chart) and garnered 1 million monthly listeners for Belles. The song is also making strong headway overseas after recently being added to rotation at BBC Radio 2. Stream the album here
