2021 Was A Stellar Year For Canadian Country Recording Artist Justin Fancy. From Releasing His Debut Album, Winning Music NL's Country Artist Of The Year And Rising Star Of The Year, And His First Top 50 Song On The Billboard Canadian Country Radio Charts, There Seems To Be No Stopping The Newfoundland-Based Artist.
Fancy steps up to the plate in a big way by delivering a defini-tive statement on never looking back on his newest single, the upbeat and uplifting “Beauty Queen.”
The first single from his forthcoming sophomore studio record to be released in Spring 2022, “Beauty Queen” sees Fancy take a closer look at a failed relationship. But rather than dwell on the past, Fancy instead feels empowered by the experience, resulting in him becoming a stronger, better person in the end.
“I’ve never been afraid of wearing my emotions on my sleeve,” says Justin. “Bad break-up songs might be cliché, especially in country music, but I see this song as a positive spin on a lesson learned. It’s the kind single that I’m confident my fans will be singing along to, while also understanding and embracing the meaning behind it.”
Already resonating with audiences and industry alike, one of the early indicators of the song’s strength has come in the form of an invitation from The Recording Academy for Justin to perform the single as part of their Press Play At Home concert series on Grammy.com, making him the first Canadian country recording artist to be invited to participate since its inception in 2018. Justin’s performance of “Beauty Queen” will air on The Recording Academy’s Youtube channel and Grammy.com on Thursday, October 28.
“When I heard I had been invited to perform “Beauty Queen” on Grammy.com I was absolutely floored,” says Justin. “My journey as a recording artist has been nothing short of amazing so far, and now I’m being given a unique opportunity to perform for a whole new audience south of the border and beyond. I’m looking at this as a huge stepping stone in my career."
Fancy’s debut album, Sure Beats A Good Time, debuted in the No. 3 position on Apple’s iTunes Canadian Country music chart. The record would go on to rack up more than a half-million streams across major streaming platforms. In addition to his single “Makes Me Wanna” peaking at #41 on the Billboard ra-dio charts and being played at over 70 radio stations across Canada, the song also hit #1 on the CBC/Sirius XM Canada Country chart.
Starting 2022 off with a bang, Justin has most recently been nominated for 3x East Coast Music Association (ECMA) Awards for Country Recording of The Year, Solo Recording of The Year, and Fans Choice Entertainer of The Year.
