Adell, who has just released his new single 'Whiskey Blues', said the rise to fame has been a 'unique experience'.
“Not many people have that experience, and I just take it day by day,” he said. “Keep my glasses on, my head down. I'm a really hard worker. Writing a lot, in the studio constantly. I'm just trying to put out more music.”
Adell remained tight-lipped about her time in the studio with Beyoncé, urging fans to use their imaginations about the collaboration, which was kept under wraps until the album's release.

The young artist was also happy to hear the news that Paul McCartney praised Beyoncé on her cover of “Blackbird.” The song has a special connection for Adell, who is featured on the song.
“My dad is like the biggest Beatles fan, and 'Blackbird' is actually his favorite song,” Adell said. “So I kept it a secret from everyone, only me and my manager knew. I called them the night the album came out and I was able to tell them. My dad had tears in his eyes.”
Despite the challenges Nashville artists face, Adell says she feels lucky and welcome. Adell, who released her first single three years ago, credits her success in part to her strategic use of social media and is grateful for the support from country music legends and fans she received at the festival. CMT Awards.
“I've felt nothing but love, to be honest,” Adell said. “There were people that I love so much, country music legends at CMT came up to me and said they heard my music, and congratulations, and they said they needed me in country music, and that It was a very special experience and I was met with nothing but respect.”
Adell, who is biracial and comes from a large family, said she has always been deeply connected to her music.
“It's always been in the fabric of my life,” he said. “I feel like that's how I grew up, the parts of me that are most authentic and the parts that I really enjoyed the most came from the summers I spent in Star Valley, Wyoming. That's where my family is, that's where all the my summers. They were the best friends. It was what I always looked forward to during the school year.
