Abby Nissenbaum- Gentleman [Self-Released]

With her self-released single "Gentleman," Nashville-based LGBTQ+ indie-rock artist Abby Nissenbaum brilliantly flips the script on traditional country music’s "dream man" trope. A standout track from her EP Want to Be Wrong, the song delivers an infectious blend of 80s and 90s country-pop infused with a vibrant, "Sapphic honky-tonk attitude." Produced by Martin Trevox and mixed by Fede Catenaro, "Gentleman" pairs raw, unfiltered vocals with cheeky, subversive lyricism that trades dusty pickup truck clichés for witty, New England-inspired authenticity. Ultimately, Nissenbaum serves up a rip-roaring, humorous, and unapologetic anthem that proves country music's conventions are ripe for a modern, inclusive reinvention.
