<p>Spunky free spirit and Texas native <strong><a title="RAELYNN" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/category/raelynn/">RAELYNN</a></strong> is today (3/24) celebrating the release of her years in the making debut album, <em><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/wa2xab/svboou/welb5l" data-type="url"><strong>WILDHORSE</strong></a></em>, which catapulted to #1 on the iTunes Country Albums chart and #3 All Genre Albums chart upon release. The excitement continues with a trio of high-profile engagements, including the founding of a charitable fund for childhood diabetes patients in her name.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Appearing at the Texas Children’s Hospital this afternoon, <a title="RaeLynn" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/category/raelynn/">RaeLynn</a> will make the first donation to THE <a title="RAELYNN" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/category/raelynn/">RAELYNN</a> DIABETES FUND and will in turn be honored by Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, who will proclaim March 24, 2017 as “<a title="RAELYNN" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/category/raelynn/">RAELYNN</a> DAY.” Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 12, the rising star credits Texas Children’s Hospital with saving her life and is now proud to pay her blessings forward.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>“I have been counting down to this day for so long that I can’t even believe it is finally here,” exclaims <a title="RaeLynn" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/category/raelynn/">RaeLynn</a>. “And, to be able to celebrate in my hometown and give back to the hospital that helped make all of my dreams come true makes it that much more special.”</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Later in the day, <a title="RaeLynn" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/category/raelynn/">RaeLynn</a> will also perform a pop-up outdoor concert at the massive RodeoHouston festival, and appear on <em>ELLEN</em> to sing her album’s powerful first single, “<a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/wa2xab/svboou/c7lb5l" data-name="Love Triangle" data-type="url"><strong>Love Triangle</strong></a>” – a heart-wrenching divorce ballad told from the point of view of a little girl.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Praised by <em>NPR</em> for its “finely drawn images and subtle shifts in perspective,” “Love Triangle” is currently Top 30 and rising at Country radio. It’s offering the first real taste of an album which bucks convention at every turn to reveal an artist with an untamed soul while gathering millions of online streams to date.</p>

<p>Produced by Jimmy Robbins and Nicolle Galyon, <em>WILDHORSE</em> (Warner Bros. Records/Warner Music Nashville) tells the story of <a title="RaeLynn" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/category/raelynn/">RaeLynn</a>’s life following her breakthrough on <em>The Voice</em> – four years that have seen her move to Nashville, release hit songs like “God Made Girls,” and get married. Full of personal touches, <a title="RaeLynn" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/category/raelynn/">RaeLynn</a> co-wrote 11 of the album’s 12 songs, even basing the anthemic “WildHorse” title track on a touching, cross-generational poem written about <a title="RaeLynn" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/category/raelynn/">RaeLynn</a>’s mother by her grandmother.</p>
