Sunny Sweeney Gets ‘Provoked’ On New Release

Sunny Sweeney has released her third studio album, Provoked, via Thirty Tigers. The 13-track release is filled with personal and heartbreakingly true songs, and all but two are penned by Sweeney. Brandy Clark, Jessie Jo Dillion, and Shannon Wright penned the single “Bad Girl Phase.” Other acclaimed writers on the album include Brett Beavers, Connie Harrington, Lance Miller, Ashley Monroe, Angaleena Presley, Mark D. Sanders, and The Warren Brothers.

Sweeney’s dedicated fans helped fund the album via PledgeMusic, an interactive program that allows artists and fans to connect while raising funds for upcoming music projects.

“My fans are everything to me,” says Sweeney. “If your fans’ opinions don’t matter to you, I would assume that you wouldn’t be in this business. That’s why I put a lot of songs on [the album] that I have been doing for a couple of years. If nothing else, I feel completely confident because I know my fans and I know what they want from me.”

A portion of the album’s sales will go to one of Sweeney’s favorite charities – CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates).
