The empowering and exciting artist makes a powerful statement on her first new release of 2025
Building a fierce reputation for herself based on the ambition and boldness of her sound and style, pushing it to different places around the pop and country spheres throughout her releases, Cali Tucker has continued to establish herself as a force in modern music with the release of her new single ‘Last Name’.
The track has an effortlessly slick and polished feel to it stylistically, but lyrically it taps into something much more vulnerable, exploring the weight of familial ties and the strength that it takes to go out on your own and try to forge your own path without any kind of safety net or failsafe. The artist displays a sense of ambition and determination on the new release that shines through on both the soundscape and her fearless, powerhouse vocal delivery, acting as her biggest advocate as she tries to stave off pitfalls like loneliness and and anxieties along the way and succeed completely on her own terms.
The track’s music video doubles down on these themes in powerful fashion, depicting the artist as a Cinderella-like figure working hard and grafting, much like she has done with her craft, before breaking free and exploring freedom and liberation. It adds another layer of nuance to a track that is packed full of fierce messaging and ideas throughout, further cementing her status as a thoughtful and captivating artist who is more than capable of succeeding off of her own merit.
