Brittney Dixon – “Ride Out” demonstrates the deep, unrecognized kinship of Country, R&B and Soul!

Ablaze Entertainment artist, Brittney Dixon, is a bright spot in popular country music as she blends its traditional mainstream appeal with raunchy R&B and gritty Soul flavors on her debut single, “Ride Out”. Adding flame to the sonic fire, is the fact that Brittney is classically trained, and has sang for the Shreveport Opera, in her home town of Shreveport, Louisiana. Brittney has also gained additional experience as a backup singer performing on the road, writing in her spare time, rehearsing choreography and vocals, all while balancing a work/home life.

Though “Ride Out” is an upbeat, non-stop barnyard burner, Brittney Dixon ably demonstrates the deep, unrecognized kinship of country, R&B and Soul. To be fair, Brittney has the voice and charisma to be a star in any of the aforementioned styles.
