After carving out her own lane in modern country-pop, Abbey Cone is turning her compass back toward the classic country sound that raised her. The Texas-born singer and songwriter first made her mark blending sharp lyrical honesty with sleek melodies on her debut album Greener, earning millions of streams, early “artist to watch” nods, and a debut on the Grand Ole Opry. Now, with new music on the way — beginning with her latest single “Change The Man” — Abbey leans into a more traditional country foundation without losing the edge and wit that define her voice. It’s the sound of an artist who’s grown up, changed the man, and come home to herself.

Co-produced by traditional country torchbearers Jack Schneider and Matt Andrews and co-written with Madison Kozak after an earth-shattering breakup last year, the track finds Abbey sonically embracing her classic country roots while retaining her sharp, sardonic lyricism that flips the “Stand By Your Man” narrative on its head with a simple message: “If the man won’t change, change the man.”

“There was so much synchronicity in the way this partnership came together, and Endurance felt like family from the very beginning,” says Cone. “I feel truly seen by this team as an artist, a songwriter, and a person, and even though this is my fourth publishing deal, in a lot of ways it feels like my first. I’m so excited for this new chapter and can’t wait to see what we build together.”
