Two-timeย CMAA Golden Guitar Female Artist of the Year finalist, Hayley Jensen, is making some big moves this year – going independent and releasing her powerful new single titled Bring It On, viaย MGM.
Jensen is well known for her souring, powerhouse vocals and her new track, Bring It Onย is no exception. Co-written withย Joni Delaurier,ย with whomย Hayleyย wrote her Australianย #1 CountryTown Hot 50 airplay single Karma, Bring It Onย is full of groove and swagger, capturingย Jensenโsย unique, signature style of country to a tee. And just as weโve come to expect fromย Hayley, it also contains a passionate message:
“Weโve all felt undervalued, underestimated & taken advantage of at some point in our lives. Just as weโve all had self-doubt & questioned our worth. Bring it On is an empowering anthem about standing up for yourself & finding the strength to fight for the life you deserve. I really hope this song inspires others to do just that!โย saysย Hayley.
Accompanying the song is a punchy music video scripted by Hayley and produced by Blacklist Productions. Star of the video – Hayleyโs “fighting spirit” – is World IBF #11 Female Boxing Champion, Viviana Ruiz, whose own personal story of persecution and determination resonates impeccably with the theme of the song. Viviana moved from Columbia to create a better life for herself and her family. With little English and a University Degree that was no use to her here, she started boxing in her 30s. Many told Viviana that she wouldn’t make it,ย but sheโs proved them all wrong.
โSheโs faced enormous adversity in her career – women in professional sport face many of the same challenges as women in music – add to that the cultural barriers sheโs had to smash through, but she keeps fighting back & so do I!โ saysย Hayley.
