by Missy Wolf / 20 hours ago / Comments

On May 30, 2025, Tayla Lynn will unveil her second full-length solo album, Singin’ Loretta, a heartfelt tribute to her iconic grandmother, Loretta Lynn, whose influence on country music remains unmatched. Among the album’s 11 tracks, the 10th, “Titanic,” stands out as a lesser-known gem from Loretta’s catalog, and Tayla’s rendition is nothing short of a showstopper. Premiering exclusively today, “Titanic” showcases Tayla’s ability to honor her grandmother’s legacy while making the song distinctly her own, delivering a performance that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly vibrant.

“Memaw has been the constant fixture in my life and the lives of millions,” shares Tayla Lynn. “Thank you to Tracy Pitcox and Heart of Texas Records along with StarViista for believing in this album and me. I am so excited for everyone to hear this tribute.” ~Tayla Lynn

“Titanic,” originally a deep cut from Loretta Lynn’s repertoire, is a storytelling masterpiece that captures the emotional weight of love and loss with a classic country twang. Tayla’s version premiered with pride by Heart of Texas Records and StarVista Music, leans into the song’s raw vulnerability. Her voice, gritty yet tender, carries the weight of a shipwrecked heart, pulling listeners into the narrative with every note. Backed by a tight ensemble of steel guitar and fiddle, the track feels like a time machine to the golden era of country, yet Tayla’s modern edge keeps it anchored in the present. It’s a love letter to Loretta’s fearless songwriting and a testament to Tayla’s own artistry.

The Singin’ Loretta album is a carefully curated collection, featuring Loretta’s biggest hits like “Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ On Your Mind)” and “Blue Kentucky Girl,” alongside hidden treasures like “Titanic” and “There He Goes.” Tayla’s approach to the project was deeply personal. “I was nervous about doing this album justice,” she admitted in a recent interview. “But Memaw always told me to sing what I love because I love it. So that’s what I did.” Her connection to the material is palpable, especially in “Titanic,” where she channels the same bold, unapologetic spirit that made Loretta a pioneer for women in country music.

The premiere of “Titanic” comes on the heels of other standout singles from the album, including “Out Of My Head And Back In My Bed” and “Blue Kentucky Girl,” the latter celebrating its 60th anniversary as one of Loretta’s signature hits. Each release has built anticipation for Singin’ Loretta, with fans and critics alike praising Tayla’s ability to balance reverence for her grandmother’s work with her own creative flair. The album’s release coincides with a special moment for the Lynn family, as the Grand Ole Opry launches its “Opry 100 Honors” series on May 13, 2025, with a show dedicated to Loretta, featuring Tayla, her aunt Crystal Gayle, and other country luminaries.

Tayla’s journey to this moment hasn’t been without its challenges. A former member of the trio Stealing Angels, she’s been open about her struggles with addiction, a battle she’s faced with the same resilience that defines her music. Her performances, whether solo or with her duo Twitty & Lynn, are infused with that hard-won authenticity, connecting with audiences who see her as both a legacy artist and a relatable storyteller. “Titanic” is a perfect example of this, as Tayla dives into the song’s emotional depths, emerging with a performance that feels like a conversation with her grandmother across time.

As Singin’ Loretta prepares to drop on May 30, “Titanic” sets the stage for an album that’s equal parts tribute and triumph. Tayla Lynn isn’t just singing Loretta’s songs, she’s keeping her spirit alive, one heartstring-tugging note at a time. So crank up the volume, let “Titanic” sweep you away, and get ready to fall in love with country music all over again. ~Missy
