SINGLE REVIEW: The Shires’ ‘On The Day I Die’ Featuring Jimmie Allen

Fresh from sharing their stunning collaboration ‘Lightning Strikes’ with US country music sensation Lauren Alaina late last year, UK country-pop duo The Shires return with their gorgeous duet with American performer Jimmie Allen for a truly special version of their song ‘On The Day I Die’.

The latest offering from the British pair is a wonderful ballad that sees them delivering a fresh new perspective on the album cut that features on their ‘Good Years’ record and the added addition of Allen’s vocals elevates it to heady new heights and creates a dynamic new soundscape,

There is something intoxicatingly good about hearing Jimmie Allen bringing his own perspective to the heartfelt, upbeat lyrical story that tells the tale of leaving a lover behind – but never forgetting the good times and being sure they keep your spirit alive after you’ve departed.

‘On The Day I Die’ is already one of the major fan favorites, and a classic The Shires hit and this updated rendition allows for it to reach a whole new listenership especially across the US market meaning they have the opportunity to further grow their fanbase in the States.

With this duet, Crissie Rhodes, Ben Earle, and Jimmie Allen deliver a stunning three-part harmony that is rooted in classic country vibes whilst the production backdrop lends itself to radio pop sounds making it a sure-fire hit that has the potential to become a Country Radio hit in America.
