Logan Brill is a hot new name in country music you will soon be hearing a lot of! The singer released her new song, “Roll,” on May 3, which tells a story of persistence and never giving up. “As soon as I heard it, I loved the attitude and swagger in “Roll” and knew I needed to record it,” Logan explained. “When we recorded it, I really wanted to capture a live-show energy on the track, and I think the band really took it to the next level.” Next up, Logan will join Cassadee Pope on the UK leg of her CMT Next Women of Country Tour. Here’s more to know about the rising star:
