Julie Eddy Releases Country Single '74 NOVA

Country artist Julie Eddy has released her new single ''74 Nova.' The single is now available on all digital streaming platforms and can be found here.

Julie Eddy is back with ''74 Nova,' a feel-good country anthem about loving your roots, chasing your dreams, and driving straight toward freedom. Inspired by her dad's first car, a 1974 Nova, the song captures the push and pull between where you come from and where you're headed.

The production tells the story from the first note, with a nostalgic chord progression that leads perfectly into lyrics like, 'Brown leather two-seat with a dent on the passenger side / Worth more than its weight in gold to me / Yellow paint with black racing stripes.'

The song keeps pulling you deeper into the story with detailed lyrics like, 'Box of Marlboro hundreds sliding back and forth across the dash / Couple twenties in the glove box / Three quarters of a tank of gas,' placing you right in the passenger seat as Eddy takes off down the road.

The chorus is the heart of the song, perfectly capturing that feeling: 'Roots holding me down but my heart strings pulled me harder / Driving me crazy to stay hell bent to get farther / Headed anywhere somewhere south of South Dakota / Foot on the gas, hand out the window of a '74 Nova.'

Eddy shares, ''74 Nova' was inspired by my dad's love for old cars. His very first car was a '74 Nova…He has always joked with me about writing a song about his Nova and my siblings, and I have always joked about who was eventually going to get the car passed on to them, so I wrote a hypothetical situation into this song that he gave the Nova to me, and I moved to Nashville with it to chase my dreams. All of the video and photo content for the song was shot with my dad's Nova in my small town in South Dakota right down the road from where I grew up. This song makes me feel nostalgia, hope, and anticipation for what's next, a deep appreciation for my roots, and has quickly become one of my favorite songs I've ever recorded.'
