With her 5<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;single of 2022 (and 24<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;release), Ainsley has stretched even further toward a pop, almost&nbsp;punk&nbsp;leaning sound. In her newest release,&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;Cherry on Top,&rdquo;<\/strong>&nbsp;you&rsquo;ll find a hard-hitting, &#8220;pretty&nbsp;punk&#8221;&nbsp;song that exudes Ainsley&rsquo;s classic sass,&nbsp;reminiscent of early 2010&#8217;s Paramore, while at the same time sprinkling in a soft ukulele sweetness&nbsp;in between walls of heavy-hitting guitar and drums. <strong>&ldquo;Cherry on Top&rdquo;<\/strong>&nbsp;has a distinctive modern production and a driving edge to it. Like all of Ainsley&rsquo;s productions, you will find a strong&nbsp;presence of live instrumentation with modern doses&nbsp;of electronic elements,&nbsp;and a whole lot of attitude.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Produced by Christian Harger and backed by some of Nashville&rsquo;s most sought-after session\/touring musicians&nbsp;(Jason Brooks on guitar, Peter Wilson on drums and Christian Harger&nbsp;on bass), &ldquo;<strong>Cherry<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>on Top&rdquo;<\/strong>&nbsp;delivers another strong hint of what is to come from Ainsley in the future. A revenge song on the surface,&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;Cherry on Top&rdquo;<\/strong>&nbsp;tells the classic story of a relationship gone wrong. But as always, Ainsley digs just a bit deeper to inspire young people with more subtle messages. In it&nbsp;she sings;&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;Honey, I hope you know, that I wish you well, or maybe I don&rsquo;t, but you know, that I&rsquo;d never tell, &#8217;cause either way you can&rsquo;t say I didn&rsquo;t handle it with grace, &#8217;cause at the end of the day, I&rsquo;m not the one who put the cherry on top of the mess you made.&rdquo;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ainsley states, &ldquo;It feels like there is so much negativity, especially online, for my generation. It is super easy to get on a platform and blast someone over something you feel wronged about, but I also feel that not everything is meant for public consumption. Still, as a songwriter, it is important for me to share my deepest feelings&nbsp;and the truth is, sometimes those topics are not fun. I am always searching for a way to do that without being overtly negative. I am also a genuinely optimistic person and I really do not dwell too much on the past, but I do know there is nothing wrong with being angry, sad, and hurt about something, and wanting to express those feelings. I think we all have to lean into those feelings to get past them.&nbsp;That said, &#8216;<strong>Cherry on Top&#8217;&nbsp;<\/strong>is truly the &#8216;Cherry on Top&#8217;&nbsp;of a season in my life. It was time to move on from a hard situation&nbsp;so this song is all about how it&rsquo;s possible to be the bigger person even when relationships and friendships turn sour.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About Ainsley:<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ainsley Costello is an 18-year-old singer, songwriter, and performer.
