Nashville, TN (March 6, 2017) - Rick Monroe's newest single, the sultry "This Side Of You," is impacting radio now, and popular website Taste Of Country will premiere the track today. "This Side Of You" is the first release from his much-anticipated upcoming EP, GYPSY SOUL. Radio can access the single via PlayMPE or CDX #644, and fans can pre-order now at Amazon.
 Early radio believers include:
Megan Zee, Bob 95 FM - "Combine the smooth vocals of Rick Monroe with the sultry lyrics and the additional female vocals and you are listening to the perfect 'get lost in the moment with you' Country song."
Dave Williams, KQKX/106KIX - "Rick Monroe delivers another solid Country song, with lyrics that will make the ladies melt and a groove that will get stuck in your head!"
Cameron Dole, KWHW Radio - "Love the new single."
Shelly Woods, WCFT Big Foot Country - "I LOVE IT!! This song speaks to everyone and it's a nice reminder to the ladies that's it's okay to let your hair down every once in a while, and have fun."
Stan Soboleski, WFRY Radio - "Will make your phones light up. The right song to balance out your playlist."
Jaimie London, 107.7 The Bull - "I instantly fell in love with the song. It's beautifully written and Rick delivers it with passion. Definitely in my Top 10 of all Country songs."
Written by Monroe and pals Jason Duke and Ryan Griffin, "This Side Of You" was inspired by a recent trip taken by Griffin and his wife. Generally reserved, Ryan's wife let the wine "win out" and let loose on that vacation. Monroe recalls, "We were just chatting before our writing session, and when Ryan said that he'd never seen that side of his wife before, I knew we had a great hook!" Duke and Griffin are the hitmakers behind Kelsea Ballerina's smash, "Dibs."
The groove-based tune features guest artist Kristen Rogers (of A Thousand Horses), and it is resonating with both male and female listeners. "It's going over great at my live shows," notes Rick. "It gets everyone out on the dance floor, that's for sure."
