NASHVILLE, TN (August 11, 2023) — Today, Nashville-based Americana duo Goldpine (Benjamin Wilson and Kassie Wilson) release the passionate sophomore single, “Thinking About Love,” from their forthcoming second full-length record — Two — set for release on Friday, September 8.
“Thinking About Love” takes listeners on a time capsule journey with its old-school sound, featuring a steel guitar and a steady heartbeat drum. But it’s not just the music that captivates; the accompanying music video is equally mesmerizing. Shot in the breathtaking landscape of Red Lodge, Montana, the video showcases the couple walking amidst cloud-covered mountains, rolling fields, and lush trees. As they navigate this picturesque setting, they confront the concept of love without any distractions.
“Honest love is when we act on behalf of someone else’s best interest, despite whether we get anything in return or not,” Ben explains about the song. “I wanted to explore my distorted view of the definition of ‘love,’ and bring us all back to its original intention with ‘Thinking About Love’.”
The track follows the album’s lead single “Do You Have Me?” which exclusively premiered with Americana Highways. Gaining high praise for Kassie’s immense vocal range, the song speaks to the struggle of a one-sided relationship through a pattern of harmonious verses and a commanding chorus, ultimately building to an instrumental interlude of southern electric guitars and a rhythmic tambourine.

Two is about real people and real situations, told through candid and passionate songwriting. “I want people to come away from this album and take an honest look at themselves,” Ben remarks. “An honest look at motives. An honest look at connections with other people. An honest look at tragic events that are happening throughout the world, and an honest look at how we use the time we've been given.” Exposing the pains of severed relationships and unearthing the pursuits of love and purpose, Goldpine is cathartic, moody, dissonant and relevant, all intertwined into one.

Touring since 2016, they have been lessening the gap between music and the audience by disclosing their stories behind the lyrics at every venue along the way. From Kerrville Folk Fest main stage and 30A Songwriters Festival to listening rooms throughout the United States, Ben and Kassie have been offering their own brand of raw Americana to audiences large and small. Having been recent winners of the 2022 Rocky Mountain Songwriter Contest at the Red Lodge Songwriter Festival, Goldpine continues to stay true to their vision from the beginning, and stands out while doing so. Presented the “Discovery Award” in 2018 by acclaimed music critic Robert K. Oermann (MusicRow Magazine), the duo's bold harmonies are clearly a channel for their highly charged songwriting.
Goldpine is set to perform their debut AMERICANAFEST official showcase this September amongst a summer full of shows throughout the country. Tickets and more information here.
