The single bowed as the #1 Most Added Song at Top 40 – the most impressive debut in five years for a new artist at pop radio. “Undrunk” entered the Top 15 of Billboard’s Pop Songs Chart and spent six weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.

FLETCHER – who has been heralded as an Artist to Watch by Wonderland while simultaneously earning admiration from PAPER, TIME, Entertainment Weekly and countless others – hails from a beach town in New Jersey, where she cultivated her verve for music and candid lexicon. Fast-forward years later, her surname has taken on a form of its own. You may recognize FLETCHER from Spotify, where her songs have been streamed over 100 million times. Or maybe you’ve seen her on stage – at Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Life is Beautiful, or one of the many festivals she already has under her belt. The singer-songwriter has already begun carving out a space for herself in pop music, and it’s clear that she has much more to say.
