“Ambush” was released on July 29 and in addition to recent inclusion in Entertainment Tonight‘s New Music Friday roundup, the single is also garnering rave reviews:
“‘Ambush’ is unlike anything country music fans have ever heard from Lane, as the single flawlessly incorporates classic country instrumentals like the fiddle and steel guitar. The mid-tempo track serves as a new chapter for the fierce cowgirl, as it displays her new and approved sound.”
– Tiffany Goldstein, CMT.com
“Lane’s latest song is about that universal experience of being caught unaware by love. Further, ‘Ambush’ is a sonic slice of a cowgirl western with vocals unable to be fenced in.”
– Catherine Walthall, American Songwriter
“Mikayla Lane is bringing a vibrant, fresh sound to today’s country music scene. Her new single ‘Ambush’ can best be described as ‘Southwest meets James Bond Spaghetti Western,’ and we can’t get enough!”
– Carly Billington, Cowgirl Magazine
“With her talent, determination, work ethic, and natural instinct, I do not doubt that this country crooner’s star will continue to rise.”
– Bethany Bowman, The Tennessee Star
Written by Mikayla and John Conrad and produced by Jimmy Ritchey (Jake Owen, Clay Walker, Mark Chesnutt), “Ambush” brings a spunky, cowgirl-themed tale of unexpected love on the range and offers up a western-esque vibe. To stream and download “Ambush,” click HERE.
