Rising Country powerhouse GABBY BARRETT is slated to return to ABC’s American Idol this Sunday, May 5 at 8pm ET, 5pm PT. Barrett will perform “sizzling slow burner” (Sounds Like Nashville) “I Hope,” her first release since her Top-3 finish on Idol.

Recently hitting #1 on Radio Disney’s Country Top 50 chart and charging through the Top 3 on SiriusXM’s “The Highway,” accolades and praise for the fast-rising track continue to pour in:

 

“A captivating drama that pulls the listener in with each passing line…” – CMT

“full of venom and vitriol” – Rolling Stone Country

“unforgiving” – Sounds Like Nashville

“turns up the heat” – Taste of Country

“The lyrics don’t sugarcoat, serving as a swan song, shade-throwing jab to a cheating ex-boyfriend.”
 – The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

 

Barrett will hit the road with tour stops through the end of the year, while continuing in the studio with GRAMMY-nominated producer Ross Copperman on hotly anticipated new music.
