Country singer Mickey Guyton and songwriter Tayla Parx have a conversation about their new song 'Woman,' the hypocrisy of country radio & Beyonce's new album.
meet up on a recent Zoom, they’re immediately kiki-ing. Greetings turn into asks about Guyton’s family and invitations to visit Parx’s work-in-progress ranch and recording-studio compound in Nashville, where she’s calling in from today. It’s been a minute since they’ve seen each other, which explains the festive exchange — that and the release of “” on International Women’s Day, two years after they wrote the song together in 2021.
: I'd been going through a lot in my life personally, artistically. At the time, I had two male managers that were just really dimming my light, that were trying to interpret who I was and who I am, and that was extremely painful. On top of that, I had just gone through a really traumatic experience with my son, he almost died. He got really, really sick, and I'm still healing from that trauma.
I don't like to harp on this because I'm over that topic of conversation, but one thing I noticed on country radio, you see a bunch of men start singing songs about women and loving women, and those songs are going straight to the top — but they still playing women.
Speaking of women creating space, Beyoncé's upcoming album has renewed this discussion about the visibility of Black artists and Black women in country music. Mickey, how do you relate to this conversation considering you've been in the industry for years?: I think it's very exciting Beyoncé is making her record. I saw online a lot of people saying, “Welcome to country music,” and in my eyes, Beyoncé didn't need welcoming into country music.
