CC Witt set a soulful haze over heartbreak in her country ballad, Tryin to Love You –

CC Witt took melancholic country balladry and soaked it in the dusky haze of dreamlike nostalgia with Tryin to Love You. The single radiates the smoky glow of regret through woozy doo-wop textures and reverb-laced organ notes, which drift like southern heat around stripped-back melodies. Its hypnotic, slow-sway rhythm holds your focus, but it’s in her vocals where the ache takes root. Through bittersweet harmony, she delivers a raw truth: that goodwill alone won’t stop some hearts from breaking each other.

Even as her voice swells with resolve, the sting never quite lifts. It’s a bruised sermon for lovers who saw the end before they ever touched the start, but kept reaching anyway. That emotional clarity, etched in each line, is exactly why Tryin to Love You hits as deep as it does—it doesn’t beg for tears, but earns them in the silence between verses.

Already a force fronting Savannah’s Americana outfit Lyn Avenue, CC Witt comes into her own on this solo release. With a voice once likened to Tammy Wynette’s paring knife—sharp but never cruel—she’s spent years weathering the roads of heartbreak, resilience and reflection. Those years were never wasted. They shaped her songwriting into something quietly devastating and authentically potent..

Tryin to Love You is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify.
