Country music duo Tigirlily Gold is making waves with their debut album, Blonde, which is capturing the attention of fans and critics alike. The North Dakota-based sisters, Kendra and Krista Slaubaugh, known for their compelling vocal harmonies and decade-long experience performing across bars and clubs, are now recognized as the 2024 Academy of Country Music’s Best New Duo or Group.
The album, Blonde, reflects a resurgence of interest in the kind of classic country music that includes emotive torch songs and upbeat, guitar-driven anthems. These styles, once dominant in country music, had faded from mainstream popularity, but their return has resonated deeply with traditionalists.
As fans who grew up during the rise of 2000s pop are now reaching adulthood, Tigirlily Gold’s music is finding a receptive audience eager for a revival of these beloved country sounds.
