Jo Dee Messina's fans have spoken, and as a result, "Peace Sign" has been officially chosen as the first single from her upcoming Kickstarter-funded album.
After successfully raising over $100,000 via Kickstarter.com to fund the project (Some Kickstarter contributors appear on the album as background vocalists), Messina asked fans to vote on which song they would like to be the album's first single. In just ten days, she received over 220,000 impressions, with the upbeat "Peace Sign" ultimately edging out "Woman's Rant" as the song to launch the new album at radio. The single goes for radio adds on Friday, August 23.
"This song is a blast," says Jo Dee Messina. “The first weekend we carried the ‘Peace Sign’ T-shirts, we sold out in two shows. It's definitely a fan favorite.”
"Peace Sign" was written by Amy Dalley, Scott Ledger and Tyler Hayes, with Messina herself serving as producer on the track.
Commenting on the enthusiastic fan response to her Kickstarter campaign, Messina says, “The people are the ones that make music possible. They are the ones that come to the shows, request the songs, and get the records. When I first started the campaign, many folks didn't get it. The ones that took the time to learn about it got that this project is something we are all doing together. Once again the fans have shown their love and loyalty. I am truly grateful.”
Further details on the album release are expected to be revealed soon. Keep up to date on the latest news at www.jodeemessina.com and follow Messina on Twitter at @jodeemessina.
