Josh Kelley Pens Song for Naleigh
|
In March — when singer Josh Kelley makes his country debut — the impact that fatherhood has had on his music will be evident for all the world to see.
The as-yet-untitled album will contain the track Naleigh Moon, dedicated to Naleigh, his 1-year-old daughter with actress Katherine Heigl.
“I don’t think I could’ve ever written a song like that without having a kid,” he notes in a new interview with The Boot. “You know how people write songs about things that they don’t really experience, but they’re so good at writing that they can do that? That’s not me.” He adds,
“I have to experience it to write about it. And when my little girl started touching my beard and wanting me to hold her instead of other people, I was like, ‘Aw, she’s mine! And she loves me!'”
From the sound of things, Naleigh might join her father someday in pursuing a career in the music industry. “She wakes up singing, instead of crying, which is awesome,” Josh, 29, quips. “She’s going to be a singer for sure.”
“She’s a good baby. She’s spoiling us.”
