Rising country star Cali Tucker is back with her latest single, “Last Name.” In traditional Cali fashion, the track is aspirational, uplifting, and filled with attitude. Paired with a music video that takes a twist on the classic Cinderella story, “Last Name” is a women’s empowerment anthem of doing it for yourself. The music video concept, in the words of Cali,is about a “Cinderella [who] refuses to stay silent, standing up for herself and proving that anyone can rise above challenges to chase their dreams.” “Last Name” is a reminder for all women out there that they aren’t just someone else’s wife or daughter, but their own person who can do anything they strive for. It’s the perfect pick-me-up song when you need a reminder that you are that girl. With its important message and irresistible groove, “Last Name” cements Cali as one of the most exciting country singers right now.
“Last Name” is a celebration of the often underappreciated work of women everywhere. Just the fact that the music video spotlights Cali’s mother, legendary hitmaker LaCosta Tucker, as her fairy godmother, highlights how much the song is a love letter to women worldwide. Cali’s songwriting packs so much personality. The lyrics are equal parts powerful and sassy. With lines like “you won’t have a choice but to clap when I win, success will be my revenge,” there is a manifestative nature to Cali’s music. It’s a song that declares success is coming, while carrying an attitude that matches that energy perfectly. No one else but Cali could create a track as punchy and profound as “Last Name.”
Cali Tucker has been in the music scene her entire life. Her last name is nothing short of royalty in the country sphere, and she has worked hard to grow a career of her own. The singer-songwriter first gained notoriety after working under Blake Shelton’s team on The Voice. From there, she has worked nonstop, releasing her debut album “Cover Girl” and singles like “Country Couture,” which have amassed millions of downloads worldwide. Cali has received mass critical and commercial acclaim. Her music videos have been recognized by several film festivals, and numerous publications, including People Magazine, have gushed over Cali’s work. You can listen to “Last Name,” along with the rest of Cali’s discography, on all major streaming services now.
