Kellie Coffey

Video Single "I Would Die For That" Exploding on YouTube-Over 70,000 Hits in Four Weeks

Los Angeles, CA-August 20, 2007-The Academy of Country Music's Top
New Female of 2003, Kellie Coffey, is back with a new independent
album entitled "Walk On." The follow-up release to her debut
album, "When You Lie Next to Me," was produced by Wayne Kirkpatrick
(Little Big Town) and features 12 tracks, 11 co-written by Coffey.
The video for the first single, "I Would Die For That," is exploding
on YouTube with over 70,000 hits in only four weeks.

"Walk On," is the kind of deep introspective album that most artists
aspire to make. "We wrote songs about our life experience and what
moved us," Coffey said of her co-writers. "It was probably the
purest creative experience of my life." The new album represents
more than one dream come true; Coffey became pregnant and gave birth
to her baby boy during the writing and recording of the album.

Coffey was inspired to write the powerful ballad "I Would Die For
That," because of her own struggles with infertility. The video is
garnering attention from around the globe as couples relate to her
heartfelt, thought provoking lyrics and soaring vocals. "I've been
humbled by the response and stories I've been told. This song is
giving a voice to women and couples who are struggling to have a
baby," said Coffey.

>From the gospel tinged "Walk On," to the playful and
humorous "Everything She Never Wanted," and "Bandwagon," the album
mirrors Kellie's life. "Walk On" is a soulful anthem for overcoming
adversity. "Everything She Never Wanted" is a funny take on a driven
career woman who finds that being a wife and mom, the things she
never wanted to be, are what she really wanted to be all
along. "Bandwagon" takes a lighthearted look at the modern obsession
of needing to be a part of the latest craze. From cellphones, to
handbags, to designer coffees, to the latest diet, the lyrics make
you laugh and think at the same time. With backing vocals by Dan
Tyminski (Union Station, O Brother Where Art Thou) and a band made up
of some of the best pickers in Nashville, this has the makings of an
instant country classic.

The final cut on the album, "There You Go Again", was recorded in one
take. Almost unheard of in an age of computer assisted recording.
Right after Kellie and co-writer/producer Wayne Kirkpatrick finished
writing the song, they decided to cut a quick piano vocal demo.
Months later when they were preparing to cut the master track, they
listened down to the "demo" and decided not to touch the vocal or
piano track they recorded in the inspired moments after writing the
song. They simply called Jonathan Yudkin, Nashville's premier fiddle
player and violinist, to lay down a string quartet. The results are
stunning.

Oklahoma native Coffey entered the country music scene in 2001 with
her top 10 single, "When You Lie Next To Me," which remained on the
chart for over a year. Her album of the same name entered the
country sales chart at #5. She followed that with the top 15
single, "At the End Of The Day." Coffey toured with Kenny Chesney
for over a year on his "Senoritas and Margaritas" tour and opened for
Geroge Strait on his 2004 tour. She received a Top New Country
Female American Music Award nomination, and the ACM win in the same
category. She has appeared on multiple ACM, CMA and CMT Shows.

"Walk On" is available online at www.kelliecoffey.com, CDBaby.com,
