Recently, music legend and multi-GRAMMY award winner, Carole King praised this ubiquitous anthem, stating, “’Try’ is not only melodic and moving, the song and the video are sociologically important.”

In theaters on October 17, the film is based on the book by Nicholas Sparks and stars James Marsden and Michelle Monaghan. The track is also featured on the movie’s soundtrack out October 7. Another recent placement includes “Never Gonna Let You Down” popping up in the Hallmark Channel’s original film My Boyfriends’ Dogs.

For the album, COLBIE worked with Grammy award winning and legendary producer Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, famed music producer Max Martin, in-demand songwriter David Hodges, and longtime friend Jason Reeves. Songs like “Land Called Far Away” pair her distinct delivery with breezy acoustic guitars and a distinctly organic energy. Meanwhile, “Floodgates” begins with shimmering keys and propulsive handclaps as she carries a soaring hook. “Never Getting Over You” builds into a powerful refrain after a subtle verse. “Try” saw immense success at Hot AC debuting Top 30 and becoming #1 Greatest Gainer and #1 Most Added before now crossing over to Top 40. Previously an iTunes “Single of the Week”, it remains one of her best performing songs on iTunes.

To date, COLBIE has been honored with Two Grammy Awards and sold over six million albums and ten million singles worldwide. Her breakthrough hit “Bubbly” remains “one of the best-selling digital tracks in history” and her multi-platinum debut COCO hit #5 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart upon release, while her sophomore set Breakthrough landed at #1. From 2011’s All of You, “Brighter Than The Sun” went platinum and enjoyed over twenty film and television placements, while seeing acclaim from People and NY Post. She’s also played sold out venues everywhere alongside everybody from John Mayer to Sheryl Crow. Beyond music, she’s an avowed spokesperson and supporter for ASPCA, the Surfrider Foundation, Save The Music, Farm Sanctuary, and The Humane Society of the United States.
