/in , , /by

Brett Eldredge’s new song “Want That Back” is out now, January 14th on all streaming platforms. Learn more about the new track below.

Following the release of his newest Christmas record, ‘Mr. Christmas’, Brett Eldredge is sharing a brand new song with fans. Written in a time that felt uncertain for all of us, the singer speaks from the heart on this track. The new song “Want That Back” is out now.

The simplistic tune is one of those songs that strip away all the glitz and the glam to reveal a touching melody. Nostalgic, beautiful, and thought-provoking, Eldredge makes us all feel something in this song. We all have those moments in life that we wish we could relive over and over again.

According to Eldredge in his latest Instagram caption, the song came to him at a time that he needed it. “I woke up at 3am one night feeling the weight of everything going on in the world and I was overwhelmed,” he began. “I quickly recorded the words and the melody to the chorus as I tried to find comfort in the real and simple things in life.” The singer later added, “I hope this song makes ya think, I hope it helps ya reach for the real things that have made ya who ya are…I hope it’s some light in times of darkness.”

“Want That Back” is a song that is pure country music at its finest. Kudos to Eldredge on this release!

Kane Brown Drops Brand New Song “Whiskey Sour”

/in , , /by

Kane Brown’s new song “Whiskey Sour” is out now, January 14th on all streaming platforms. Learn more about the new track below.

Brown first teased the track on Instagram on December 26th. The video features him in his kitchen lip-singing along to the first verse. Brown sings the chorus next to the speaker blaring the somber tune. The story centers around two young lovers talking about their forever until one day, much to the man’s surprise, she ends the relationship. What was once a drink they often shared together now becomes the liquid pain relief he needs to forget her memory. While drowning himself at the bar, he starts to wonder if her words matched her true feelings and if she ever loved him at all. 

“So now I take my whiskey sour // Sitting barside after hours // Thinking how can I get over // If the love was never ours // Hell, I know you got my message // All my X’s and my O’s // And it kills me by the hour // Now I take my whiskey sours alone”

Penned by Josh Hoge, who has written many other songs for Brown including “Used To Love You Sober, “Cool Again,” and “One Thing Right,” alongside Adam Craig and Jaxson Free, the writing is clever and often poetic. While the chorus takes place in present day, the first verse paints detailed a picture of the high point of their relationship, and the second takes the listeners back to the night they first met. The rhyme scheme is super catchy, and the light acoustic guitar melody mixed with a heavy dose of fiddle makes this a neo-traditional masterpiece; a sound Brown has slowly been fading from. Right when you think he’s abandoned his southern roots, collaborating with pop-stars such as Khalid and Swae Lee, blackbear, and  H.E.R., he comes right back with this beautiful, heart-wrenching country ballad. 

With his seven-track mixtape and all these new singles, fans can expect the announcement of a new album in the near future. For now, you can catch Brown on his Blessed and Free Tour with supporting acts Chase Rice and Restless Road, which happens to stop in New York City at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night at 7 pm. For tickets, head to his website.

Thomas Rhett Drops Two New Songs Ahead of Upcoming Album

/in , , /by

Ahead of his upcoming album Where We Started, superstar, Thomas Rhett dropped two brand new songs, “Angels” and “Church Boots.” Learn more about the new tracks below and click here to pre-save the album.

In just ten years, Thomas Rhett has emerged as one of the biggest names in country music. Rhett is known for being a talented songwriter, an incredible entertainer, and one of the most humble artists in the industry. Yesterday, January 13th, Rhett took to social media to surprise fans by revealing that his sixth studio album, Where We Started, will arrive on April 1st. The 15-track collection includes all-star collaborations with Katy Perry, Riley Green, Russell Dickerson, and Tyler Hubbard. Pre-save Where We Started here.

Additionally, Rhett shared that not one but two brand new songs would be released ahead of the project, giving fans exactly what they want, more Thomas Rhett music.

Today, January 14th, Thomas Rhett gives listeners a taste of the upcoming record with two new tracks, “Angels” and “Church Boots.” The former is a heartfelt ode to the love of his life. The track is likely a dedication to his wife, and often subject of his songs, Lauren. Written by the singer with Julian Bunetta, Jaten Dimsdale, and Josh Thompson, “Angels” may be one of Rhett’s best songs to date.

The song is reminiscent of old-school Thomas Rhett. It is in line with new tracks, such as “Country Again.” The songwriting is a standout, as the singer laments about being undeserving of the incredible love he has found.

“You shoulda slammed the door, changed the lock and said adios // To my selfish heart tore it apart and left me alone // Don’t know why you were patient and wasted good savin’ on me // Maybe angels don’t always have wings”

For fans who love the more rowdy, celebratory side of Rhett – “Church Boots” fits the bill. The song begins as a slow burn and explodes into a fun-loving track on the first chorus. It is hard not to love this song, as it was penned by Rhett with songwriting-greats, Jesse Frasure, Ashley Gorley, and Ernest Keith Smith (Ernest). “Church Boots” is one of those songs that is going to amplify Rhett’s already incredible live shows!

“Yeah my old guitar is my new guitar // And the hole in the wall is my only bar // And the jeans with the rip in the knee are the ones that I wear on Friday night // And my t-shirt is my good shirt // Makin’ money and I party on the same dirt // Go straight from the farm to the bar to the back row pew // Yeah my work boots are my church boots // Church boots”

If these two new songs are any inclination for what Rhett’s new record is going to sound like, fans are in for a real treat. The platinum-selling entertainer has carved a lane in country music that will forever be his. We look forward to April, when Where We Started comes out!

Walker Hayes Drops Brand New Track “Drinking Songs”

/in , , /by

Walker Hayes’ new track “Drinking Songs” is out now, January 7th on all streaming platforms. Learn more about the new track below.

Walker Hayes’ moment to shine is now! As longtime fans of the singer-songwriter, even naming him an Artist to Watch back in 2017, it is so exciting to see his stardom continue to rise. His mega-hit “Fancy Like,” and his rising single, “AA,” keeps fans excited for what’s to come. Today, Hayes releases the next song off his upcoming album, Country Stuff The Album, due out January 21st. His new song “Drinking Songs” is out now.

Although Hayes has a checkered past with alcohol, he jokes “who better to write a drinking song than an alcoholic?,” on his social media. The truth is this song is deep, yet fun to listen to, a combination you do not typically find in music.

“So give me that bourbon and Bocephus // I can’t help me so help me Jesus (Jesus) // She ain’t coming back like you // She gone (Back like you) // So what I need is, boys right now // Hank ain’t never gon’ let me down (Gon’ let me down) // Bring them family traditions on // Yeah I’m just keep sittin’ here sippin’ and singin’ along // Thank God for drinkin’ and drinkin’ songs”

The new song depicts how many of us feel, when we have hit rock bottom, especially after losing someone we love. Hayes is a master wordsmith. This song is just another example of how clever and unique his artistry truly is. He is sure to gain some new fans with his song!

Maren Morris Releases New Song “Circles Around This Town”

/in , , /by

Maren Morris’ new song “Circles Around This Town” is out now, January 7th on all streaming platforms. Listen here and learn more about the new track below.

It’s been almost three years since Maren Morris released her phenomenal, award-winning sophomore record GIRL, and fans have been eagerly awaiting MM3. Since 2019, Morris has released a small handful of collaborations with Ryan Hurd, Joy Oladokun, and JP Saxe, but today’s release, “Circles Around This Town” is the official lead single off her new project.

Written with her singer-songwriter husband Ryan Hurd and the fantastic Julia Michaels, “Circles Around This Town” is an autobiographical jam about her journey as a Nashville songwriter. Usually, Morris doesn’t go into the specifics of her own experiences when writing – she uses metaphors to describe the story. In this song, however, she paints the picture with imagery so vividly personal to her it lets you get to know a new side of her.

“I swear I don’t know how I trusted // A Montero with the AC busted // A couple bad demos on a burned CD // Would take me all the way to Tennessee”, she opens the first verse with the beginning of her Nashville story. In the second verse, she subtly name-drops debut single “My Church”, and the entire song feels like a nod to her past, present, and her future.

This track was produced by GIRL powerhouse producer Greg Kurstin, and the drums and guitar lick are transportive. Additionally, the music video for “Circles Around This Town” is also out now, and the visuals completely elevate the song. She is seen in a small apartment on an old desktop computer and even drives literal circles around a parking lot.

“I drove circles around this town // Trying to write circles around this town // Trying to say something with meaning, something worth singing about”

It’s the perfect song to go driving to – Morris and Kurstin did an exceptional job matching the lyrics to the sonic components.

It’s unclear whether Morris meant for the song to match the hopefulness one tries to have when going into a new year, but the timing of its release is quite interesting. We just began a new year, and “Circles Around This Town” is all about finding meaning and being grateful for keeping an open mind. “Thank God I was an optimist”, she sings right before the first chorus – and no statement in the song rings more true than that. 2022 is already looking bright thanks to Morris.
