Lucy Hale: Country Collaboration with Sugarland's Kristian Bush

Lucy Hale is diving head first into her music career.

After signing with Hollywood Records, the 22-year-old actress is already rubbing elbows with Sugarland‘s Kristian Bush.

“She sounds like Carrie [Underwood] — strong with a blues side and a pop side to it. And a lot like Faith [Hill],” he told CMT.

“As she gets more comfortable, her voice will get even stronger, and you’ll hear more powerhouse stuff, but stylistically she lives in that range [and] she has a really good grasp of her own story she wants to tell of growing up in Memphis. Lucy is a natural,” he added.

Lucy also shared with the network about the meet-up, “He’s so nice, so funny. We talked about how, in acting, I don’t have to be Lucy, and I don’t let a lot of people know who I am. But with songwriting, you need to let down walls and be completely vulnerable and wear your heart on your sleeve. It was a really cool collaboration, because we drew things from each other.”
