Curb Records recording artist Hannah Ellis kicks off 2024 by releasing her highly-anticipated debut album, That Girl. After writing hits for other artists and consistently dropping new songs of her own, Ellis’ full-length album is available now — listen HERE.
Ellis will celebrate the release of That Girl by returning to the iconic Opry Circle, alongside revered Opry member Crystal Gayle and others, on Jan. 20. She will perform at the 2024 C2C Festival in Berlin, Germany, on March 2 and March 3 as well as a club date in Cologne, Germany, on March 5 and Munich, Germany, on March 6, with an international CD/vinyl release of That Girl on March 1 in the UK and Europe.
Revealing the Kentucky native to be an open book, That Girl boasts 13 original tracks all co-penned by the in-demand lyricist. From the clever wordplay of current radio single ‘Karma On The Rocks’ and fan favourite ‘Wine Country’ to the raw vulnerability of breakup confessional ‘Someone Else’s Heartbreak’ and album closer ‘Too Much and Not Enough’, Ellis’ first full-length record reveals a seasoned songwriter fully embracing her small-town roots, her real-life romance, and her newfound artistic voice on every level. The ‘Country Can’ singer realises a lifelong dream with the seminal recording.
“They say you spend your whole life writing for your first record, and I think that’s true,” Ellis says of the career-defining collection. “I cannot wait to share these songs with you.”

Hannah Ellis’ journey — and world — is one all can feel at home in. The Campbellsville, Kentucky-native’s voice — a mix of favorite flannel, sparkling pink wine and welcome — is the friend we always wanted. Whether pouring from a car radio or your phone, the act named to Rolling Stone Country’s “Artist To Watch” list reminds you big leaps often come as a series of small steps when no one is looking. Having paid for her University of Kentucky degree with her full-ride scholarship, she — with the full support of her family — started chasing her dreams. Like so many, that meant a self-financed EP, and moving to Nashville to begin the endless rounds of writers nights, meetings, making friends, and trying to find your way. Hannah paid her dues, kept her focus and kept moving toward something she was sure she felt and knew was right. The fresh-faced songwriter, who has 45 million career streams, has since written songs recorded by artists, and been featured as a vocalist on songs, spanning multiple genres, including: Russell Dickerson, Carly Pearce, FOR KING + COUNTRY, Emily Weisband, Cassadee Pope, FILMORE, and Sidewalk Prophets. The magnetic artist, who has appeared on the Grand Ole Opry multiple times since making her debut, has toured with Carly Pearce, Billy Currington, Gavin DeGraw, Dwight Yoakam, Devin Dawson, and many others, and has toured as part of the CMT “Next Women of Country” Tour. Ellis was invited back by her college alma mater to be featured in a national television advertising campaign about pursuing and achieving your dreams.
Hannah is one of the “CMT LISTEN UP” artists to watch for 2023. Her current radio single is ‘Karma On The Rocks’, and will be part of Hannah’s debut album, That Girl, available now.
