Emerging Georgia singer/songwriter Clover County releases new single “Whiskey Cherry” from her upcoming debut LP Finer Things, out September 26 via her own label Undercover Lover Records in partnership with Thirty Tigers. Co-written with actress/musician Morgan Nagler and garage rock mainstay King Tuff, the gritty song finds Clover recounting an experience with a man whose only belief system was always having a whiskey and Coke in his hand.

“‘Whiskey Cherry’ is a playful diss track to a guy I dated who didn’t believe in much – especially not anything that made life feel magical,” shares Clover. “He’d roll his eyes whenever I mentioned angel numbers or little synchronicities, calling me “too witchy” for his taste. Meanwhile, I was out here finding beauty in everything…including his boring ass. His drink of choice was always whiskey and Coke; I’ve always been a tequila girl. The song started in L.A., with collaborators Morgan Nagler and King Tuff, we had Courtney Barnett’s grit and vocal delivery in mind. By the time I recorded it in Nashville, I was channeling Shania Twain and Lainey Wilson’s fearless, feminine, country energy all the way.”
Produced by Carrie K (Noah Kahan, Maggie Antone, Koe Wetzel), the album is a coming-of-age soundtrack that explores romantic, familial and platonic love with a winking charm and an observing eye. Already, Clover has shared the Gen Z bless your heart anthem “Good Game” and the sprawling, bittersweet first single “Virginia Slim” – both of which she performed for FLOOD Magazine’s Neighborhood Sessions. Equally inspired by the classic country of Dolly Parton and the ‘90s rock of Sheryl Crow as she is by her contemporaries like Waxahatchee and Hovvdy, the album blends the twang of timeless country songwriting with tongue-in-cheek observations on modern love.
Living comfortably in the space between folk, Americana and alternative, Clover affectionately refers to the genre she occupies as “bootgaze.” She began developing this sound as a student at University of Georgia where she cut her teeth playing house shows and college bars around Athens, GA. After the release of her debut single in 2023, she went out on the road with alt darlings and country stars like Lord Huron, Medium Build, Shakey Graves, Waylon Wyatt and Morgan Wade. Then, last year she released her debut EP Porch Lights which included the nostalgic single “Ultraviolet,” which peaked at #22 on MediaBase Triple A charts and is still a mainstay on SiriusXM. Now, on her debut LP, she sings about those years where she often found herself blissfully naive with a newfound wisdom of someone who’s grown up but knows she’s not done growing.
