“There You Are” came shortly after the release of “Hot Rod Pipe Dream”, which was co-written with her longtime collaborator Brendan Benson and co-produced by Monroe and GRAMMY-winner Gena Johnson. The official video for the song debuted with CMT on a billboard in Times Square.
Over the last year, Monroe has been releasing new music, played her first Nashville headline show since 2015, and hit the road for a UK tour with Little Big Town. She has recently released a cover of Fred Eaglesmith’s “I Like Trains”, “Risen Road”, and her late 2023 single “Over Everything” which Billboard called “Airy, understated and clear-eyed, the song is lifted by the quiet assuredness in Monroe’s vocal.” Monroe’s recent work has been met with praise by American Songwriter, CMT, Stereogum, and People Magazine, who interviewed Monroe about her musical “fresh start.”
Her critically-acclaimed 2021 album Rosegold received praise from Rolling Stone, The Nashville Scene, No Depression, Vulture, Paste Magazine, Garden & Gun, Stereogum, Pitchfork and many more. In their 2021 Best Albums of the Year coverage Vulture proclaimed, “Monroe continues to refine her talents as a writer and a vocalist while expanding her artistic palette in a batch of songs that slides from synth-pop to spectral, psychedelic R&B to gothic pop to lush, orchestral balladry to muted country rock.”
