Nashville, TN (April 24, 2023) – Reigning American Idol winner Noah Thompson and runner-up HunterGirl surprised fans last night, April 23, when they returned to the singing competition series for a special performance of the never-before-heard duet version of Thompson’s insanely catchy “One Day Tonight.” Soaring with Thompson's unique fusion of country, rock and R&B-leaning vocals alongside HunterGirl's southernly sweet, supercharged voice the song is a must listen. Listen to the new song HERE and watch the fan-favorites perform the new duet version HERE.
Written by Jared Griffin, Trannie Anderson and Brett Sheroky, produced by Jimmy Robbins, and originally released by Thompson last year during his winning Idol season, the romantic song instantly propelled to insane popularity and to No. 1 on iTunes All Genre and Country charts and is still racking up an over 1 million on-demand streams per week.
Most recently the two wrapped a wildly successful co-headlining tour in 2022, both Thompson and HunterGirl were named an “Artist to Watch” by Music Mayhem. Having now paved their own unique paths, Thompson has proven “he’s a music risk-taker not afraid to push the boundaries” (CMT), releasing his most recent “Stay” and “Make You Rich.”
Now, in tandem with his debut CMA Fest performance on Saturday, June 10 at 10:15 am/CT on the Chevy Vibes Stage, Thompson will release his debut EP Middle Of God Knows Where on June 9, showcasing his “jaw-dropping vocal control and clear sound” that’s “destined to catapult him to stardom” (CMT). With the upcoming EP, fans can expect Thompson to stay true to himself with new songs embodying his humble deep-sewn roots while adding a rock edge into the mix.
Chronicling “her current moment of transcending from talented aspiring artist to make her first steps toward the big leagues” (Billboard), HunterGirl just released new music post-American Idol with “Lonely Outta You” that E! News applauded as “powerful” and “Hometown Out Of Me” that CMT said perfectly showcased “her soaring vocals and superstar potential.” Most recently opening for the award-winning Lainey Wilson at her sold-out Nashville show in March, the rising songstress will be hitting the road on select dates with Luke Bryan, Parmalee, Josh Turner and Luke Combs for his pre-show tailgate stage.
A surprise gift to fans, Noah Thompson’s “One Day Tonight” featuring HunterGirl is out now. Highly anticipated, Thompson’s debut EP Middle Of God Knows Where will be available Friday, June 9, while HunterGirl is currently readying more new music to release very soon.

About HunterGirl:
A Tennessee native, singer/songwriter HunterGirl has been performing since she was three years old and writing songs since she was 9. In her early teens, she performed at venues across the United States, competed in singing competitions and won the 2014 Texaco Country Showdown. After graduating high school, she moved to Nashville and immediately started playing gigs at Nashville’s most famous venues including Tootsie’s, Rippy’s, Jason Aldean’s Bar, The Listening Room, and HonkyTonk Central, winning songwriting contests such as “Nash Next” and the prestigious “Nashville Songwriter Association International” in her spare time. Due to having family members who served in the military, HunterGirl holds a deep admiration for our Country’s armed forces and tenaciously works with many veteran organizations, where she uses music therapy to transform veterans’ stories into songs. She’s shared the stage with Country superstars Old Dominion, Florida Georgia Line, Kane Brown, Alan Jackson, Lainey Wilson, Trace Adkins, Charlie Daniels, Sara Evans and more. Last year, she competed on American Idol, where the “country singer with a bright future” (Hollywood Life) delivered standout performances that Taste of Country called “impressive,” “shining,” “chill-worthy,” and “glowing,” winning the hearts of millions across the country. Praised by Idol judge and Country superstar Luke Bryan as the “new age Miranda Lambert” and his “favorite female Country voice,” “HunterGirl has wowed the Country music community since she stepped foot onto the American Idol stage” (Billboard). “Despite missing out on the win, her crooning vocals and intimate original song, ‘Red Bird,’ has made her one to watch in the Country scene (American Songwriter). Skyrocketing to No. 1 on iTunes All-Genre and Country charts, “the budding Country star” (Taste of Country) performed her heartfelt and deeply personal original track “Red Bird” on Live with Kelly & Ryan and has appeared on Good Morning America. Now, with the release of her label debut tracks “Hometown Out Of Me” and “Lonely Outta You,” driven by her distinct and genuine vocals, unwavering tenacity, and heart of gold, HunterGirl is on the fast track to becoming Country’s next big female artist.
