May 16, 2025 (NASHVILLE, TN) — Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Kelsey Waldon unveils “Falling Down,” a new single from her upcoming album Every Ghost, due June 20 via Oh Boy Records. Known for her unflinching honesty and raw emotional power, Waldon explores the depths of addiction, isolation, and reckoning in a track that cuts to the bone.
Rooted in Waldon’s signature blend of country and Southern grit, “Falling Down” portrays addiction and a person in a cycle they can’t escape. “It’s about someone who just can’t quit,” Waldon says. “They’ve pushed everyone away, and now it’s just them and their addiction keeping each other company. It’s lonely, painful — and sometimes, no one is coming to save you. You have to save yourself.”
Every Ghost marks Waldon’s sixth studio album and her most personal to date. Recorded at Southern Grooves studio in Memphis with her longtime band, The Muleskinners, the album sees Waldon confronting themes of grief, trauma, and healing — with a sound that’s as soulful as it is unflinching.
Waldon will be touring extensively this summer in support of Every Ghost. The full dates are listed below. For tickets and more information, visit www.kelseywaldon.com.
