JUNO and CCMA award-winning country star Jess Moskaluke celebrates a milestone release in her career with the ten year anniversary of her smash hit single ‘Cheap Wine & Cigarettes.’ The unforgettable track immediately resonated with Moskaluke’s fanbase, and continues to be a standout moment in her live show; a high energy, anthemic, impossible to ignore earworm. In honour of the anniversary of the Platinum-certified track, Moskaluke partnered with producer Dan Swinimer to reimagine the song and record her fresh take, delivering the ‘Cheap Wine & Cigarettes (Vice Mix)’ today.
Of the release shares Moskaluke “To celebrate the 10th anniversary of ‘Cheap Wine and Cigarettes’, I wanted to take the opportunity to breathe new life into the song and reimagine it in a completely new light. The past decade has been an absolute whirlwind of touring, writing, and recording music, humbling honours from both the industry and my peers, and meeting so many incredible people, and I know I owe a lot of that to this song. The way that fans connected with ‘Cheap Wine’ from day one and continue to do so to this day still blows my mind, and for that I’ll forever be grateful.”
