The final single from the soon-to-be-released album ‘Siempre’ has been premiered by Glide Magazine!
‘Change My Mind’ is a tejano-flavoured polka, and Glide calls it: “…a tune that feels like a welcome revival of a brief period in country music that is far too overlooked, with Connolly’s country crooning fusing with the accordion and bajo quinto as naturally as chips and queso.”
