Badass Country Girl Teams Up with Legendary Producer to Create Chart Topping Hit
Canadian singer-songwriter MANDY BO, who recently launched a successful Kickstarter Campaign that landed her interviews and performances on shows such as CP24 Breakfast Television, earlier today released a sneak peek snippet of her new lyrics music video on Instagram and announced that she will be releasing her much anticipated single “Pay The Price” this February 25th, 2015.
The song was made in collaboration with legendary producer Mark Zubek, founder of Zedd Records who has worked with artist such as Betty Carter (Grammy winning artist), Theresa Sokyrka (Canadian Idol finalist) and Hilary Weaver (award winning country singer), and will be available for purchase on Bo’s official website mandybo.com.
The groundbreaking Country West “n” Bass artist MANDY BO is a woman of endless talent and passion. Born into a life of hard-luck and poverty in the projects of Windsor, Ont., Bo had a rough start. With the determination and passion to turn her dreams into a reality, she made the courageous step of re-locating to Toronto, a hub for all musicians, at the age of 17. Here, Bo finally found comfort in the art of music. Writing, producing, and creating original songs, Bo has proved to be a country girl at heart who can seamlessly blend pop, jazz and blues into her music.
Bo’s first music video “Lullaby” was featured on music stations Daily Motion and Blastro in multiple countries. The hit single also gained Bo global recognition, with play on satellite radio stations around the world.
“I can’t even put into words the joy that making music brings me,” said Mandy Bo. “This is something I’ve had a passion for and been working towards my entire life. I can live without many things, I know because I’ve had to. But without music, my life would be a mistake. I am so lucky and grateful for the opportunity to work with someone as talented and experienced as Mark. Pay the Price is the first of many great things to come for us.”
While it’s true that her path has been a challenging one, with your help, Bo aims to help others who are going through hard times and pain with her music.
Woke this morn with a hell of a hang
Mouth was dry, vision strange
Well surely you could guess what I had been up to
“Excuse me ma'am,” said the boy in blue
“But do you know why I’m arrestin’ you?”
Tell ya the truth well I didn't have clue
Ossifer, there's been a mistake
I'm a good citizen, I can explain
Pretty sure, I ain't done a dog dang thing
I was out with a boy and a beer
Mindin’ ma business when a girl of a steer
Ran her face right in front of ma swing
Pure assault, not ma fault
She's the one you really you want
Ma boyfriends wife, I can even show where she lives
Oh I was gonna stay in last night (hey)
Instead I had a good time (hey)
Now I gotta pay the price (hey, hey hey)
Oh why did I have a last drink? (hey)
Shoulda stopped sooner I think (hey)
Now I gotta pay the price (hey, hey, hey)
Some nice gentlemen asked me to leave
Real polite, so I left in peace
Made it home safe and sound as you can see
But when I got here was a bit tipsy
Having trouble with the hole ‘n’ the key
Went to the winder ‘n’ give’er a good old jimmy
And once inside I was too tired
To go to bed, so instead
This here couch is where I kicked up ma feet
Oh I was gonna stay in last night (hey)
Instead I had a good time (hey)
Now I gotta pay the price (hey, hey hey)
Oh why did I have a last drink? (hey)
Shoulda stopped sooner I think (hey)
Now I gotta pay the price (hey, hey, hey)
“Ma'amm,” he said, “That’s’ all fine and nice
If I could offer some advice
Maybe you shouldn't drink so much
That would help us out a lot
Your neighbors wouldn't need to call the cops
To say ya broke in, you’re sleeping on their couch”
(pay, pay, pay the price
pay, pay, pay the price
pay, pay, pay, pay the price) x2
Oh I was gonna stay in last night (hey)
Instead I had a good time (hey)
Now I gotta pay the price (hey, hey hey)
Oh why did I have a last drink? (hey)
Shoulda stopped sooner I think (hey)
Now I gotta pay the price (hey, hey, hey)
(pay, pay, pay the price
pay, pay, pay the price
pay, pay, pay, pay the price)
Now I gotta pay the price
