Marlee Scott Releases New Singe 'Track 3'

Nashville, TN. (306 Records) - According to Marlee Scott, everyone has a Track 3 - a song they can't listen to because of all the emotions and memories it conjures up.

"I think everyone has had an album where they can't play one song because it reminds them of someone who broke their heart," she says.

Track 3, the latest single off her debut album Souvenir, talks about how songs can be forever attached to a memory of heartbreak. The song was inspired by Scott's mother as they poured over CDs of demos to include on her debut album Souvenir. Her mother scribbled "don't play track three" to remind Scott and writing partner Steve Fox the third track had already been used by another artist. The note perked the interest of Fox who insisted they play around with the idea at the end of their week long writing session.

The song quickly became a favorite of the artist for several reasons.

"There a lot of fiddle in it, so it sounds really country," she notes.

In addition, the song has special meaning because it was one of the first Scott wrote after getting serious about songwriting.

The 21-year old singer from Edmonton burst onto the country music scene in 2005 with her album Souvenir. Sporting dynamite vocals, the Alberta performer has since become honored for her keen songwriting ability. She finished a whirl-wind of activity in 2006 joining George Fox's Christmas tour.

Currently, Scott is in Nashville working on new material. She admits much of her inspiration comes from her personal life - whether good or bad.

"I enjoy writing about something that means a lot to me personally," says Scott. "I love expressing myself and my thoughts that way."

Fans can enjoy Track 3 on their favorite country radio station.
