Singer-songwriter Makenzie Phipps is celebrating the hardworking people who keep America moving with her upcoming single, “Blue Collared Man,” arriving tomorrow.
Country Evolution is proud to exclusively premiere the song ahead of its official release.
With a classic country feel and lyrics centered around everyday life, “Blue Collared Man” pays tribute to the men and women who work with their hands, provide for their families, and put in the long hours that keep communities and businesses running.
The song highlights the people who may not always be in the spotlight but whose hard work plays an important role in the lives of those around them.
Makenzie Phipps Brings a 2000s Country Feel to “Blue Collared Man”
For Phipps, the new song represents something different from what she has released previously. She says the track draws inspiration from her favorite era of country music while also reflecting her own life.
“I feel like this song is completely different than anything I’ve had out! It definitely has that true 2000’s country vibe to it, which is my favorite era of country music. I’m really proud of how the lyrics turned out and it truly captivates my day-to-day life. I’m lucky to have my hardworking, blue-collar man at home, and I know a lot of other women are thankful for theirs as well. I hope couples out there can relate to this song in their own way, and I can’t wait to hear what everyone has to say!” ~Makenzie Phipps
The lyrics paint a picture of the early mornings, long workweeks and familiar routines that come with a blue-collar lifestyle, including the perspective of someone who admires the hardworking man waiting for her at home.
