Third Floor Records' Diana Upton-Hill Follows Up Her Top 50 Debut With A Pounding Ode To 'So
Diana Upton-Hill, the MidWest reared theater maven turned country vocalist, puts the top-down to travel south on her sophomore single Southern Gentlemen. Breaking the Top 50 with her debut single, Diana returns with a high-heeled rocking track that pays homage to the sweltering, well-mannered men of the south produced by Grammy award winning artist, songwriter and producer Bryan White.
“Bryan found this song and I immediate connected with the idea behind it,” says Diana. “I never had a particular person in mind, but this song is about that average guy that you see very predominately in the south that recognizes a need and fills it. This is for that guy that helps you with your bags at the grocery or the one that holds a door when your hands are full or extends an umbrella in the rain. That’s the guy I think of when I sing this song.”
Written by Georgia Thomas Edgeworth and Robin Grant, the song is quickly climbing the charts and even captured the number two spot on the “Most Added” songs for its impact week on Music Row. There are currently 25 stations that are early adopters of the song and she continues to see positive responses from stations across the nation.
