Kameron Marlowe Drops “Keepin’ The Lights On” + Shares Album News

Kameron Marlowe shares brand new song “Keepin’ The Lights On,” out now, March 15th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new track below.

Throughout the last few years, an artist we have continuously had our eyes on was Kameron Marlowe. Marlowe continues to up the ante with each and every song he releases. Each of his songs showcase his humanity and his talent as a singer and as a songwriter. Today, the singer officially announces his brand new studio album, Keeping’ The Lights On, releasing on 5/31. In conjunction with the album news, Marlowe also dropped the album’s title track.

“This song is incredibly personal to me. Growing up, my parents did more than enough to provide for my family, and there was a time I witnessed my dad’s humility after losing his job. I went over there one night and we were talking about everything and he said ‘I just don’t know how we’re going to keep the lights on.’ It really resonated with me, and that was the inspiration behind the title,” shared Marlowe about the song and project. “It’s a testament to their continued sacrifices and my dedication to remaining authentic in this crazy business. As the album title and closing track, ‘Keepin’ The Lights On’ embodies the promise I made to always tell the truth and remain true to myself instead of chasing the bright lights.”

The album will feature sixteen songs that all speak to the singer’s experience thus far over the last couple of years. The single, “Keepin’ The Lights On” is a beautiful ode to life and to his family, feeling like a warm hug and a truthful prayer all at the same time.

Kacey Musgraves: ‘Deeper Well’ – Album Review

Kacey Musgraves shares her fifth studio album, Deeper Well, out now, March 15th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new project here.

Kacey Musgraves has long been one of country’s – and forget just country, music’s – most influential songwriters of the 21st century. Her way of cutting straight to the bone of a lyric has rocked listeners’ worlds for over a decade, and her latest, Deeper Well, continues to weave universal storytelling with sonic ethereal magic.

The album’s opener, “Cardinal” is a wonderful opener for a variety of reasons. For one, it’s probably one of the funkier tracks, sounding like a cross between a 2000s Nelly Furtado hit and deep-cut off The Chicks’ Home. There are interesting rhythmic and tempo changes that occur by the time the listener gets to the bridge, and lyrically, it sets the tone for the entirety of the album: seeing signs in everything, falling in love, anxiety, growing up, and letting yourself make mistakes and learning from them.

Title track “Deeper Well” is the second song, and previously released “Too Good To Be True” is third, and while already lovely on its own, fit seamlessly into the story of the rest of the album. The threads of anxiety and falling are leaned into.

You can clearly hear the inspiration of everyone from Willie Nelson and John Prine to Nick Drake and Judee Sill on tracks like “Dinner With Friends” and “Giver/Taker”. Musgraves and her musical partners, Ian Fitchuk and Daniel Tashian modulate on “Dinner With Friends” in this particularly interesting way that is reminiscent of the 70s more psychedelic folk like Drake and Sill, although lyrically it falls slightly short of that vibe. “Giver/Taker” is just generally fantastic, with the drums coming in on the second verse in that floaty, “Slow Burn” perfection way. There are a lot of metaphors to the outdoors on this album, but also, a lot to “the house” that Musgraves is in. “Moving Out” clearly follows that metaphor as well.

Transitions from one song into the next flow seamlessly together, another nod to the 60s and 70s songwriter influence, and this is really heard on a favorite, “Sway”. It’s floaty and gorgeous sonically, but also incredibly thoughtful. “Most of the time thoughts in my mind keep me running/Show me a place where I can just think of nothing”. It’s existential, but also a surrender to anxiety, with Musgraves sharing that “maybe one day I’ll learn how to sway”.

Perhaps the middle of the album gets a bit redundant lyrically – “Lonely Millionaire” and “Heart Of The Woods” are slightly forgettable – but every track is still truly stunning in the effortless sonic planet that Musgraves, Fitchuk and Tashian have created.

The only song written without Fitchuk and Tashian is “The Architect”, written with longtime, original collaborators Shane McNally and Josh Osborne. As usual, the three wrote a song that is like a masterclass in country storytelling. “Is it too late to make some more space?” Musgraves ponders throughout. Sonically, it could fit the bill of any Lilith Fair performer.

Deeper Well feels like a slightly more countrified Laurel Canyon project, and the wonderful closer, “Nothing To Be Scared Of” solidifies this. Musgraves successfully stripped back a layer of vulnerability when writing this album that resonates, and Deeper Well is already shaping up to be one of the musical highlights of 2024.

Deeper Well Tracklist:

  1. Cardinal
  2. Deeper Well
  3. Too Good To Be True
  4. Moving Out
  5. Giver / Taker
  6. Sway
  7. Dinner With Friends
  8. Heart of the Woods
  9. Jade Green
  10. The Architect
  11. Lonely Millionaire
  12. Heaven Is
  13. Anime Eyes
  14. Nothing To Be Scared Of

Sam Barber Shares Brand New Song “Streetlight”

Sam Barber shares brand new song “Streetlight,” out now, March 14th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new track below.

There are many iterations of country music in the genre today. While all the styles have its place, country-folk is having its moment. With artists like Zach Bryan and Noah Kahn stating the straddling the line between country-folk and more modern sounds, Sam Barber is a perfect artist to add to that conversation. The incredible singer-songwriter shares his newest song today called “Streetlight.”

In what seems like overnight, Barber has amassed millions of loyal fans who are rather to carry him to superstardom. Much like its predecessors, “Streetlight” is an incredible and honest song that reads like a diary-entry. Barber pours his heart into the song, focusing on emotions and experiences that bring the song to life.

“And that the truth behind your eyes can speak as loud as your tongue // Girl, I don’t know if or when I’m coming back // But I felt the fire of a man who’s lost everything he has // And where does the sun go when you’re not around // I was fine when I left but I can’t stand this now // How many nights do I have alone // Bеfore I feel, before I feel wholе // Before I feel whole”

Barber is one to look out for this year. He breathes new life into country music, and we are excited to see what he has coming down the pipeline next.

RaeLynn Releases New Song “Funny Girl” Out Now

RaeLynn shares her brand new song, “Funny Girl” is out now, March 15th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new track below.

RaeLynn has had quite the journey in country music, but her steadfast honesty and commitment to authenticity may be one of the most intriguing things about her. The sassy singer has a knack for bringing real life into her songs. Today, she releases one of her most honest releases to date. “Funny Girl” is officially out now.

“Funny Girl” is a true story-telling song. Throughout the track, RaeLynn shares what it was like growing up as a the “funny girl,” rather than the popular girl. The song reads as a letter to the fellow “funny girls” who may relate to this song. While the entire song is impressive, the wordplay RaeLynn uses in the chorus is one of the most underrated parts of the song.

“Funny girl, how’ve you been? // I’ve been you, girl, since I was ten // Funny girl, keep cracking jokes // When shit gets real, that’s all you’ll know // The life of the party, tonight’s entertainment // A clear sky when the parade’s raining // Yeah, I know you’re mad at where you’re at // Gettin’ jealous of your friends // Ridin’ shotgun seat to the homecoming queen with a label on your back”

“Funny Girl” marks a new era of music for the songstress who is expected to release a full-length album later this year. Stay tuned!

Kane Brown Earns Number One Single at Country Radio with “I Can Feel It”

Kane Brown earns the number one song at country radio with his latest single, “I Can Feel It.” Get all the details here.

Kane Brown is a bonafide superstar in the country music genre; despite, clearly showing talent across different genres of music. Brown had a huge year in 2023, earning multiple number one singles at country radio. Today, the entertainer adds another number one song to his catalog. Brown’s single, “I Can Feel It” officially marks his eleventh number one at country radio.

“I Can Feel It” became an instant fan-favorite. Brown shared the song in September, and it steadily went up the charts. The song is the perfect blend of country overtones mixed with a fun, pop-tempo beat. While some of Brown’s releases lately have steered more towards the country side of things, “I Can Feel It” is a true blend that appeals to much of his fanbase.

“You’re puttin’ on a show // No need to take it slow // There’s something here, I know // I can feel it in the air, feel it in the whiskey in my hand // In your hips, your body tells me when you start to dance // Maybe this is turning to a “We should probably get up out of here” // Oh, baby, I swear, I can feel it in the air (I can feel it) // I can feel it, mm”

Congrats to Brown on his eleventh number one single with “I Can Feel It.”
