Today, Canadian country singer-songwriter Karli June is thrilled to be releasing her compelling new single “Always Gonna Be” via The Orchard. The breezy, melodic country track produced and co-written by Gavin Slate (The Reklaws, Tim Hicks, James Barker Band), is a country anthem about celebrating a love that’s as enduring as the timeless elements of cherished country living. With its catchy chorus and uplifting energy, “Always Gonna Be” pays tribute to the simplicity of shared moments and the steady strength of devotion. Anchored by warm banjo tones alongside Karli’s soaring vocals and heartfelt storytelling, the song radiates a comforting sense of forever. The track is from Karli’s forthcoming EP and follows a breakthrough two years.
The award-nominated singer-songwriter is emerging as one of Canada’s standout country music artists. Hailing from a farm in rural Listowel, Ontario, Karli discovered her passion for music singing in her church choir and performing at local fairs and competitions. Her deeply personal songwriting, drawn from her own life experiences, resonates with authenticity and energy.
Over the past two years, Karli has achieved steady milestones. Her duet “Feel Like Home” featuring Ryan Langdon climbed to #12 on the Australian country radio charts and cracked the top 30 in Canada, marking her highest-charting release to date. The song, which has nearly half a million combined streams and views, was the most added song at Canadian country radio upon its release and was recognized as Rogers Radio’s One to Watch, iHeartRadio’s Future Star, andStingray’s Trending Track.
Following this success, her smoldering single “Still Make Cowgirls” hit #1 on SiriusXM’s “Top of the Country” in Canada and reached the top 20 on Australian country radio. Karli’s career now boasts over 2.7 million combined streams and video views, and her presence on stage has grown significantly, with performances at key festivals including Country Thunder Calgary and the Ponoka Stampede, as well as opening slots for Gord Bamford and The Abrams. In 2023, she showcased her talents during CCMA Country Music Week in Hamilton with performances at Songwriters Unplugged and the Country Music Crawl. Her achievements were further highlighted by several CMA Ontario Award nominations and performances in 2023 and 2024, with Karen Kosowski winning Producer of the Year for Karli’s debut EP in 2023.
With high-energy performances and an ever-growing list of accolades, Karli June is firmly establishing herself as a rising force in country music. In 2025, she is putting the finishing touches on her highly anticipated sophomore EP and is eager to hit the road again, bringing her live shows to audiences across Canada.
