Episode Details

Kaylee Bell is one of the most accomplished voices in the New Zealand country music scene. 

She’s not only the most streamed female country musician in Australasia, but has a Country Music Award for Global Country Artist to her name. 

‘Cowboy Up’, Bell’s new album, releases next week – an album she made in the midst of being pregnant. 

“This record was particularly fun to make,” she told Newstalk ZB’s Jack Tame. 

“I was about 34 weeks pregnant when my producer flew out from Nashville .... to bring a bit of Nashville to New Zealand to make the record.” 

Previously the record making process was hectic, but ‘Cowboy Up’ came about more collaboratively, created slowly in a studio at home. 

“I was like, this is how I want to make my records now,” Bell told Tame. 

“It just felt like such a wholesome way to make a record.”
