TORONTO — Canadian country-rock recording artist Bree Taylor is positioning herself for international growth with the release of her new single and upcoming album “Worship,” a project that has already generated significant streaming traction and marks a strategic turning point in her career.
The single, released this week, is the title track from Taylor’s forthcoming album and was recorded at Saxman Studios in Nashville, a key hub for the global country music industry. The track was produced by Grady Saxman, known for his work with major country acts including Luke Combs and Jelly Roll.
The release represents a commercial and creative milestone for Taylor, whose album has already surpassed 1.5 million streams on Spotify, reflecting growing audience demand and digital reach for the independent Canadian artist.
Taylor’s new single emphasizes themes of self-worth and personal empowerment, reflecting a shift in both artistic direction and brand identity. In the chorus, she declares: “Know ya gotta Earn it / Cause I know I’m worth it / You gotta worship, worship, worship”.
Industry observers note that such messaging aligns with broader trends in country music, where artists increasingly blend traditional storytelling with contemporary themes and cross-genre production to attract younger and more diverse audiences.
Taylor’s sound combines country songwriting with rock and punk influences, positioning her within a hybrid genre space that has proven commercially viable in recent years. This approach has helped Canadian country artists expand beyond domestic markets into the United States and internationally.
Her decision to record in Nashville — widely regarded as the centre of the country music business — underscores a deliberate move to deepen industry ties and expand her professional network.
The release also builds on measurable momentum in Taylor’s career. Her earlier single “Standing Still” surpassed 300,000 streams on Spotify and generated more than two million views across social media platforms, signalling strong audience engagement and marketing potential.
In addition to digital performance metrics, Taylor has gained industry recognition through awards and high-profile live appearances. She received an Established Vocalist MARTY Award and a Civic Award recognizing her contributions to her local arts community.
Live performance remains a core part of her growth strategy. Taylor recently appeared at CMA Fest in Nashville, one of the country music industry’s most influential festivals, and has opened for established acts including Canadian country artist Jade Eagleson and American band Sawyer Brown.
Such opening slots are widely viewed in the music business as critical opportunities for emerging artists to build fan bases and attract label, promoter and sponsorship interest.
Taylor’s management team has positioned “Worship” as her most fully realized project to date, both creatively and commercially. The album reflects a period of artistic development in which she has refined her sound while strengthening her personal brand.
From a business perspective, the release comes at a time when Canadian country artists are increasingly gaining global visibility through streaming platforms, social media and international touring circuits.
Music industry analysts say artists like Taylor represent a new generation leveraging digital tools to compete globally without relying exclusively on traditional label systems.
Her trajectory also highlights the importance of cross-border collaboration, particularly with Nashville-based producers and studios that provide access to experienced production teams and industry infrastructure.
Taylor has framed the new album as both a personal statement and a professional step forward, reflecting her long-term ambitions.
With streaming numbers climbing, industry recognition accumulating and international exposure expanding, Taylor’s latest release may serve as a catalyst for further commercial growth.
As Canada continues to export country music talent to global markets, Taylor’s “Worship” project signals both the maturation of her career and the increasing competitiveness of Canadian independent artists on the world stage.
