NASHVILLE, Tenn. (October 20, 2015) -- Just days after her single "I'm Making Mine" soared into the Top 10 of the MusicRow CountryBreakout ™ Chart, the sensational young singer Erica Nicole has released another soon-to-be-smash to Country radio.  "Like I Do" draws deep from Country music's ballad tradition.  Vickie Raye and Billy Ryan Droze wrote it as a dialog between two women over the love of one man.  Its emotional narrative and dramatic melody provide a perfect vehicle for Erica and Grammy-nominated star Jamie O'Neal, who premiered the song together at the 2015 Country Radio Seminar in Nashville.  On the single, each takes a solo turn and then both join in a thrilling finale.  As classic Country singing and lyric interpretation, "Like I Do" is a triumph by any musical measure.
 
"It's a great feeling to be on a stage and in the studio with Jamie," Erica says.  "If I'm going to be the best I can be, I've got to compete with the powerhouse voices of Country music -- and her voice is certainly one of them."
 
While making great music, the Georgia-born artist is making chart history too.  No other truly independent female Country artist has made it into the MusicRow CountryBreakout ™ Top 10 since 2004, when Jill King became the first to earn that distinction with "98.6."  Erica is also the first female artist on an independent label to loft three consecutive singles into that chart's Top 20, following "I Listen To My Bad Girl," "It's Comin' Down" and "I'm Making Mine."
 
Raised on the music of Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Reba McEntire and other Country music legends, Erica Nicole moved to Nashville with a dream to follow in their footsteps.  She is already well on her way, having won Best Female Country Artist of the Year honors from NIMA (Nashville Music Industry Awards) in 2014.  In June she made her first appearance onstage at CMA Music Festival.
 
Plans for 2016 tour dates are being discussed now.
