New Zealand country star Kaylee Bell has released her latest single, “Me For Me”, as she prepares to return to the UK this November as special guest on The Shires’ 13-date tour.
Co-written by Bell with Phoebe Jasper and Tom Jordan, “Me For Me” is a love song about waiting for the right person rather than settling for less – something Bell says was inspired by the experiences of friends and women around her.
The new release arrives during another big year for Bell. The award-winning singer has now amassed more than 100 million catalogue streams, while her international breakthrough “Keith” – a tribute to Keith Urban – has passed 30 million streams on Spotify and 60 million views on TikTok. She has also previously shared stages with Ed Sheeran, Keith Urban and Kane Brown.
Earlier this year, Bell performed to 37,000 people at the first concert held at Christchurch’s One New Zealand Stadium. She also became the first female artist from Australia or New Zealand to appear on the CMA Close Up Stage at CMA Fest in Nashville.
UK fans will not have long to wait to see her live. In just six weeks, Bell returns to join The Shires throughout their autumn tour, beginning at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on 3 November and visiting Manchester, Birmingham, London and a host of other cities before concluding at Bristol Beacon on 20 November.
The dates will see Bell opening for Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes as The Shires take their new album Bonfire around the UK, giving fans an opportunity to hear Bell’s latest material alongside songs from her growing catalogue. Tickets on sale now at theshiresmusic.com
