Rising star Ashley Wineland puts a country-rock spin on “Time After Time” with haunting harmonies and heart.
Rising country artist Ashley Wineland makes a powerful statement with her stunning reinterpretation of Cyndi Lauper’s 1983 hit, “Time After Time.” Far more than a tribute, Wineland’s version is an emotionally charged blend of Western soul, raw country grit, and nostalgic pop, bringing new dimension to the timeless track.
Known for her arena-ready vocals and more than a million dedicated followers, the Arizona native is in the midst of a breakout year. Her rendition of “Time After Time” embraces both vulnerability and strength, wrapping familiar lyrics in rock-tinged textures and her signature harmonies. “This song is so memorable, and I love that you can interpret the lyrics in so many ways,” Ashley shares. “It feels like something I could sing forever.”
The accompanying music video adds depth, combining poignant home video footage that reflects on identity, memory, and love. “This video is the greatest way I can share my interpretation,” she explains. “For me, the message is all about remembering yourself and the people who are always there for you—time after time.” 
Ashley is currently on her national Moments in Time Tour, playing over 50 headlining dates across the U.S. After opening for Lainey Wilson and John Michael Montgomery, she’s proving her ability to own the spotlight. Early comparisons to Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert underscore her powerful trajectory.
Working alongside GRAMMY-nominated producer Marti Frederiksen, Ashley released “Tumbleweed” in late 2024—a track that’s racked up over 1.3 million video views and further cemented her place as one of country’s brightest rising talents.
