Black River Entertainment songwriter/artist Abby Anderson’s debut single “Make Him Wait” is digitally available now. Currently on her national Country radio promo tour, Anderson is set to open for Russell Dickerson on select dates before a jampacked CMA Music Festival week of performances and appearances.
Written by Anderson along with GRAMMY-nominated hit songwriter Tom Douglas and hit songwriter/producer Josh Kerr who also produced the single, the empowering message in “Make Him Wait” serves as a reminder to trust your worth.
In a recent Instagram post, Anderson expressed her hope for “Make Him Wait” saying, “I’m sharing a little bit of my heart and the truth that I was brought up knowing. And honestly, I hope that this song serves as a reminder of how precious you are, how cherished you should be, and above all, to trust your worth with someone worth your trust.” View the full Instagram post here.
Last month, Anderson gave fans a sneak peek into the single with the release of an acoustic performance video of “Make Him Wait,” which can be viewed here.
The Dallas, Texas, native was recently named one of CMT’s Next Women of Country for 2018, a CMT Listen Up Artist – #18for2018, one of Pandora’s “2018 Country Artists to Watch” as well as The Boot’s “2018 Artists to Watch.”
Prior to making her solo move to Nashville at 17 years old, Anderson worked hard to finish school early and get a head start on her dream of a career in music. Upon arriving in Music City, she began paying her dues by playing gigs in local favorites, including The Bluebird Café, The Listening Room Café, and the Tin Roof, among others, while working as a nanny. Her hard work and perseverance paid off a few years later as Anderson was surprised by Black River Entertainment with a publishing and record deal during a charity event at the Ryman Auditorium in 2017.
