VIDEO PREMIERE: Mackenzie Lee - 'Love It Country'

Hunter Valley, NSW-based singer-songwriter Mackenzie Lee is back with an energetic new single, Love It Country. Today, the music video is exclusively premiering on Countrytown.

A song with a rock-country feel, Lee’s strong, commanding vocal feels like classic country as she plays the acoustic guitar in front of a rocking electric guitar. In the music video by Roaming Creatives, Lee performs by trees and overgrown grass in a rural Australian location, with cows grazing and horses standing in the background.

Throughout the song, Lee sings with a smile, jamming to a song she knows will resonate with fans who live for country music.

Showcasing a new, personal side to her storytelling, Lee said of the song, “It’s a lot different to my last one. I wrote Love It Country last year and it’s the first song where I’m really writing about myself. It shows a side of me that I think will connect to a lot of people.”

She continued, “I’ve grown up around country and always listened to country music – it’s a big part of who I am.

“I hope the country crowd embraces this. I’d like listeners to have fun, party to it, and I want to show that you should celebrate being a little bit different. I’m loud and proud about being country.”

Last month, Mackenzie Lee won the Encouragement Award at the Gympie Music Muster Talent Search. This win came after she won a different award, the Junior award, at the inaugural Country Stars Australia awards. She and fellow winner Mack Geiger (of the Senior category) took home $15,000 in cash and lucrative career opportunities.

Earlier this year, Countrytown shared the video premiere for Mackenzie Lee’s song, Let My Love Drown.

We said about the single:

Like many of the greatest country songs, Let My Love Drown is a song about heartbreak and follows Lee as she asks for love to drown after a relationship comes to an end. Singing against epic trees and strumming her acoustic guitar as an electric guitar accompanies her song, Lee sounds far wiser, way stronger and more accomplished than any young singer has a right to be.
