Award-winning Canadian country artist Karen Lee Batten brings forth her latest single, The Trouble with Friends. Co-written with producer Jeff Johnson, the song combines a contemporary country sound with Batten’s spirited vocal delivery, creating an upbeat, toe-tapping country dance anthem. The track not only serves as an exciting addition to Batten’s musical portfolio but also acts as the title track for her upcoming 4th album, set to release in 2024. With its catchy country pop vibes, the song captures the essence of how everything in life is better with friends, making it an irresistible treat for country music enthusiasts.
Speaking about her new single, Batten says, “The premise is that friends never let you leave. You’ll show up to meet somebody for brunch and next thing you know, it’s last call and you’re surrounded by the rest of your regulars. In my experience, the ‘trouble’ with friends is that they are truly indispensable. Almost anything you can do in your life is going to be better with friends, and they are here to remind us to live a little and make the most of good company.”
