/in , , /by

LANCO’s brand new song, “Near Mrs” is available now February 5th. Listen to the brand new track here.

Platinum-selling country group LANCO is back with their first brand new track, since July. The men officially premiered the jamming tune “Near Mrs” with an accompanied lyric-video today, marking their first release in the new year.

The brand new song displays powerful word-play, enticing lyrics, and a catchy melody, all things we have come to love from LANCO. Cleverly titled, “Near Mrs” is about all the lovers you have to go through until you find the one whom your soul will end up with. The story-telling and laid back nature of this song make the listener dream about simpler times and finding their forever love.

“Here’s to all the near Mrs. / Give her mama best wishes / And close call kisses / that never came through”

 Each verse portrays a lost love, who just wasn’t Mrs. Right. The endearing quality and the story-telling nature of the song is the most impressive part of the incredible tune. Similar to their other anthems like  “Greatest Love Story” and” Born to Love You.” “Near Mrs” has the potential to be a fan-favorite and an absolute hit, during live performances.

The band shared on social media the sweet sentiment surrounding their latest release stating: “First new song of 2021. At first glance it’s the journey of love lost leading to love found. But this song became more special over the past year as we’ve had so much time to reflect on how thankful we are for those in our lives. No matter how certain you can be of your path it may not work out how you planned, but hopefully, at the end of that journey you end up right where you need to be and, right next to the person you need to be with.”

We only hope that this year brings us a new record from LANCO with more songs full of heart, charisma, story-telling, and nostalgia. LANCO truly prove with “Near Mrs” that they deserve all the success that is sure to head their way.

Luke Bryan Surprises Fans with “Country Does” & Announces Deluxe Album

/in , , /by

Luke Bryan took to Facebook Live to surprise fans with a forthcoming deluxe album announcement, the release of a brand new song “Country Does” and a tease at a brand new unreleased song, “Waves”.

Luke Bryan’s Born Here Live Here Die Here Deluxe Edition is set to release on April 9th and will include six new songs. During the special Facebook Live, the country superstar played three songs, two new songs that will be on the deluxe edition, “Country Does” and “Waves”, as well as his current single “Down to One”.

Bryan performed a laid-back, unrehearsed, take on the songs with his bass player, James Cook. Explaining that this performance was his first time playing in any capacity in a while, Bryan expressed just how excited he was to be able to play and share new music with his fans.

The original version of Born Here Live Here Die Here is Bryan’s seventh studio album and includes hit songs “Knockin’ Boots”, “One Margarita”,  “What She Wants Tonight” and its title track. With the success of the album and as the current single, “Down to One” makes its way up the charts, Bryan felt it was the perfect time to put out this deluxe edition with the songs he was able to write and record with his down-time during the pandemic.

Luke Bryan's 'Born Here Live Here Die Here' Deluxe Edition is Due Out April 9th, 2021

Luke Bryan’s ‘Born Here Live Here Die Here’ Deluxe Edition is Due Out April 9th, 2021

Releasing the first track off the deluxe edition almost immediately, Bryan performs “Country Does” and reveals some details about the song. Written by Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne, Ross Copperman, Bryan shares that although he did not write the song, it is simply the story of how he was brought up, his family, and his small-town way of life. He said that the first time he heard it, he knew it was something he had to go in and record. 

“Country did as country does / Long as the salt gets licked, and the corn grows thick and the sun comes up / Country is as country was / And ‘round here the good old days ain’t far away, ‘cause you can’t change us / Proud of your family, proud of your name / Proud of the mud running through your veins / They say nothing don’t ever stay the way it was / Country Does”

Additionally, although not yet released, Bryan also performed a new track titled “Waves”. The song instantly screams Luke Bryan and was penned by “Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset” writers, Zach Crowell, Ryan Hurd, and Chase McGill.

“Waves” will have you feeling like summer is right at your fingertips and wishing it was closer than it is. It’s the story of falling in love on a perfect summer night, as if the universe, the ocean, and the beach had nothing else to do but make this night magical for these two. 

“It’s like the sun went down just to frame your face / it’s like they played that song just to see you sway / like that old surf shop had you in mind, with what you got on, making those tan lines / it’s like the ocean knows, we’re laying on this beach tonight / it’s like the sands been waiting for you to come alive”

It’s one of those nights you never want to end. You can’t help but hope that this night and this summer keeps coming over and over like the waves on the beach. 

“You were made for summer / just like these stars we’re under were made for lighting this July sky up / blanket down made for me you to tie it up / all night long, over and over / crash into me and pull me closer / kiss by kiss, one after another / don’t let go, baby let this summer / just keep on coming in waves, keep coming in waves”

Deluxe Track List:

  1. Country Does
  2. Drink a Little Whiskey Down
  3. Waves
  4. Bill Dance
  5. Up
  6. Floatin’ This Creek

Brooke Eden Returns With A Brand New Song “No Shade”

/in , , /by

After four years, Brooke Eden is ready to be reintroduced to the world with the new song “No Shade” and it’s the perfect song to start her next chapter.

Written by Eden with Steven Lee Olsen, and Brandon Day, “No Shade” is not only a clever spin on a breakup song but also a song about rediscovering yourself after getting out of a relationship. Whether it’s a romantic relationship or a relationship with a job, we’ve all been in a situation where we’ve felt stuck and couldn’t be ourselves. Showing off her powerful vocals, Eden reminds us that it’s ok to break free, find ourselves again and live the lives that make us happy.

In a recent press release, the singer-songwriter shared how she got the idea for the track. “I was talking to someone the day before we wrote ‘No Shade’ and I said, ‘There’s no shade coming your way from me,'” says Eden. “I wrote that down and thought there was something freeing in having no bad feelings toward someone who’s done something bad to you. ‘No Shade’ is about your own self-awareness to take responsibility for yourself and start anew. It’s the perfect song to kick off the new music I am sharing in 2021!”

“Nobody going to steal my sunshine or turn my blue sky grey / All I know is at the end of the day wildflowers grow when there ain’t no shade”

Brooke Eden’s new song “No Shade” is available now, February 5th

Matt Stell Drops A New Song Titled “That Ain’t Me No More”

/in , , /by

Matt Stell’s new song, “That Ain’t Me No More” comes on the heels of two consecutive number ones from the rising artist. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new track.

We first met Matt Stell back in 2018 when he joined us for a Swag Session and performed his debut single, “Prayed For You”, which later became his very first number one song. Additionally, before chatting with us about his journey in country music, Stell performed a brand new song, “Everywhere But On”, which went on to become his second number one song off of his debut EP of the same name.

Most recently, Stell released another EP, “Better Than That”  in October of 2020 which includes catchy singles  “If I Was A Bar” and the title track. Now, as he continues to give fans new music to look forward to, Stell has released his newest track, “That Ain’t Me No More”. 

“That Ain’t Me No More” was written by HARDY, Hunter Phelps, Smith Ahnquist, Jake Mitchell, and Nick Donley and co-produced by Stell with Ash Bowers.  In this song, the guy knows he has become a better man thanks to this girl, but he also knows he changed too late to be able to keep her.

“I used to drink ‘til I got drunk / My fuse was short and my guard was up / I’d start a fight, I’d slam a door / But that ain’t me no more / Yeah I was number one on my list / I’d never called back because I miss / No I ain’t  proud of who I was before / But that ain’t me no more / Yeah I’ve turned it all around”

This is Stell’s “the one that got away” song. It is bittersweet to know that this girl is going to end up with this other guy, but he can’t help but credit her for making him into a better person, the man he should have been when they were together. 

“Somebody’s got her in their shirt / Somebody’s texting her at work / Somebody’s got a picture on their dash / Somebody’s going fishing with her dad / She’s letting some lucky someone see, that knock you dead dress hit the floor / She found the one and it’s killing me / ‘Cause that ain’t me no more”

The song will officially impact country radio on Feb. 22nd. Fans can join our Weekly Round-Up e-newsletter here, for the latest in country music and more news about upcoming Matt Stell announcements and future releases.

Alex Hall: ‘Six Strings’ – EP Review

/in , , /by

Alex Hall’s debut project, an EP titled Six Strings, has been released after three consecutive single releases to tease this highly anticipated collection, which is entirely made up of collaborations with all dignified yet stylistically diverse country music acts.

Alex Hall, a signed artist with Monument Records, has been gearing up for this Six Strings EP release in order to appropriately introduce himself to the music community. With three out of the six numbers separately presented as single releases, followers and country music listeners are now given the remaining pieces of the puzzle. This collection of music is the first from the Georgia native that grants a tracklist, making it somewhat of an inaugural debut into the incomparable and delicately intoxicating voice wholly presented in this eclectic, intriguing production.

To add to the talk of this highly anticipated and long-awaited project, Six Strings is a collaborative one that involves some of the best from the genre such as musical icon Vince Gill, universal entertainer, and 11-time CMA host Brad Paisley and the lyrically ornate Canadian sweetheart Tenille Townes.

Alex Hall's Debut EP ‘Six Strings’ is out now, February 4th

“Jealous Love”, acting as the first of the litter being that it was released directly following the announcement of Six Strings, ultimately finds itself third in the lineup of songs. Nonetheless, the track that features John Osborne of Brothers Osborne captures an electrifying, old-time jukebox rock ‘n roll sound that made room at the table of anticipation for upcoming music from Hall.

In early December, another stylistic unveiling took place with “Never Seen the World” where Vince Gill assisted in implementing a fragile, unguarded tenderness that showcased the variety and multi-accessible storyteller in this “Half Past You” singer. “Heart Shut”, an invigorating ballad intertwined with Tenille Townes’ soft, charming rasp executes the same approach with a tug at a different yet nearby heartstring.

The closing production fulfills a faraway, individualistic concept heavily dependent on lyrics and thoughtful storytelling. “Runs in the Family” mixed with a flattering background vocal from Kassi Ashton, the “Pretty Shiny Things” upcoming female country artist, ensures listeners of Hall’s maturity while dipping into the shallow end of his upbringing.

A message appears nearing the finishing touches on the track. It’s as if “Runs in the Family” was written intentionally for the final slot. With Hall covering this specific idea and utilizing several instances to support the claim, it’s almost as if he’s telling fans that there’s more to the story. That there’s more he has to say, and we can’t wait for it.

Six Strings provides country music with a sense of identity as to who this slicked back hair, voice of an angel, from the other side of the music is… and who he may become. With a hand in songwriting and production, there’s bound to be plenty more to learn about and from Hall through music.

Thomas Rhett Keeps Quarantine Releases Going with “Your Mommas Front Door”

/in , , /by

Thomas Rhett’s latest song, “Your Mommas Front Door”, shows us how a front door with a faded brick porch has been there through each stage of his relationship with his wife, Lauren.

 

During quarantine, Thomas Rhett has given fans a look into new music he’s been working on. His latest song “Your Mommas Front Door” takes us to Tennessee to his mother-in-law’s house showing us a little bit of a personal memory from his past.

Debuting the song on Instagram, Rhett shared that he wrote this song a few weeks ago after he dropped off his daughter Lennon at his mother-in-law’s house. Over the past 17+ years, TR has been to her house a million times but something about this last time just hit him different inspiring him to share the different versions of himself that has walked through that door over the years. From knocking on the door to pick up Lauren to go on their first date, slamming the door during breakups, and showing up unannounced to ask her dad’s permission to propose, that door has seen a lot of history. Now the singer-songwriter is having a full-circle moment watching his daughters walk through the same door where his life changed forever.

“Today it just hit me\ That I got some history\ With every square inch of that faded brick porch\ It’s crazy to think how my life has changed now\ And it just keeps changing a little bit more\ Every time I show up at your mommas front porch”

Of course, the father of three is no stranger to writing songs about his relationship with his wife Lauren and the life they share together including award-winning “Die a Happy Man” and “Life Changes”. We love seeing a glimpse into their lives and hope there is more to come soon!

Eric Church Releases New Song “Heart On Fire” Ahead of Triple Album Project

/in , , /by
Eric Church just surprised fans with a brand new song, “Heart On Fire” from his forthcoming three-album project due out this April, ‘Heart & Soul’.

Church is a contemporary icon of country music, and his dedicated fan base, the Church Choir, got a first taste of the three-part project, Heart & Soul, with the release of “Heart On Fire”. This song is the first of the Heart album, and captures the highway drive anthem of his listeners. His writing sessions have been intense, and he’s found the ability to have more than one song on each theme to be a comforting undertaking.

“Heart On Fire” has a classic country beat with an edge of blues from a piano and rock with an electric guitar. Its foot-tapping power provides the comfort and drive we need to keep going while live music feels like such a thing of the past. Church manages to create the atmosphere of a crowded southern bar with patrons up against the stage all in the resonance of a song.

‘We weren’t old enough to drink but we damn sure did it, Hat turned backward singin’ “Paradise City”
That look on your face was full of young desire, Soakin’ my soul in gas and settin’ my heart on fire”

With continued restrictions and winter in full force, the lyrics capture the release and carefree escape we’re all yearning for. As Church continues to release music at an unabating pace, listeners can rely on his music to speak words to feelings otherwise uncaptured.

Eric Church lovers can see Church at Super Bowl LV on February 7, performing the National Anthem.  Heart is available for preorders now, and set for release April 16.

Eric Church set to release three albums, 'Heart', '&', 'Soul' this April 2021

Jimmie Allen & Brad Paisley Come Together For “Freedom Was A Highway”

/in , , /by

Jimmie Allen’s unique sound combined with Paisley’s signature guitar playing make for a remarkable new single, “Freedom Was A Highway”, set to hit country radio on February 1st.

“Freedom Was A Highway” was first released on Allen’s record Bettie James, named after his late grandmother and late father, where he collaborates with superstars of various genres and generations including Darius Rucker, Charlie Pride, Tim McGraw, Mickey Guyton, Nelly, Noah Cyrus, Tauren Wells, Rita Wilson, and The Oakridge Boys. Since its release in July 2020, Bettie James has received more than 118 million streams.

“Freedom Was A Highway” is a nostalgic, windows-down tune where Allen and Paisley reminisce about younger, carefree days. It was written by Allen, Ash Bowers, and Matt Rogers and Paisley adds vocals and a signature guitar solo.

When the town was the whole world / And love was the girl next door / soundtrack was a song in the dark / I miss those days when our dreams were there for chasing / But time was better wasted / We were summer young and livin’ for a Friday/ And freedom was a highway

While writing this song with his co-writers, Allen says he imagined himself driving down his favorite roads back in Delaware. He says, in a press release, “This song takes me back to simpler moments such as an innocent, childhood crush on the next-door neighbor or feeling freedom in the wind as you drive with the windows down.”

On dueting with Paisley, he shares, “I’m a huge admirer of Brad Paisley. I love what he brings to music and I had to have him bring that same magic to this song. I’m humbled to have him join me on this song – he brought the Freedom to the Highway.”

Regarding joining Allen on the song, Paisley shared, “I’m a fan of Jimmie, not only as a musician but also as a person, and I was honored when he asked me to join him on the song. It’s a magical combination – it doesn’t sound like a typical record for me at all and when I come in, I try my best not to ruin Jimmie’s song.” In regards to his role in the song, Paisley says that “I use my guitar to make a record sort of sound like I’m on it even before you hear me sing, and I love this guitar solo. I’m really proud to be a part of ‘Freedom Was A Highway’ and I’m excited for people to hear it.’”

When you’re seventeen and driving / you don’t think about the road running out / no, no, no, no / you just keep your eyes on that horizon / because you’re wrapped in now

Allen has already made history as the first Black artist to launch a career with two consecutive No. 1 hits on Country radio – the first being his debut single “Best Shot” – which claimed the No. 1 spot for three weeks – and second being his latest solo single “Make Me Want To”. While Bettie James was a special album for Allen because it paid tribute to his late family members and so many influential artists, “Why Things Happen”  with Darius Rucker and Charley Pride was an especially impactful moment of his career as Allen was able to bring together three generations of Black country artists and share a song with the two artists who helped pave the way for him in country music. Allen is beyond grateful that he was able to have a friendship and this song with Pride before he passed and that he was able to properly thank him for breaking the barriers that allowed for his presence and success in country music. 

On July 13, 2021, Allen will publish his debut picture book, My Voice Is a Trumpet, a powerful story about speaking up for what you believe in, at any age. For more information, visit www.jimmieallenmusic.com.

Luke Combs and Billy Strings Unite for Timely “The Great Divide”

/in , , /by

Luke Combs teamed up with bluegrass artist, Billy Strings, and surprised fans with a timely new song. “The Great Divide” is available now, February 1st on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new track. 

Upon surprise releasing the new song, Combs posted an Instagram video earlier today about his thoughts on the track and the story behind it. Written by Combs, along with Billy Strings and their friend Wyatt Durrette back in June of 2020, Combs tells fans that the “The Great Divide” was intended to be on a Bluegrass album that he was working on. However, as plans change, Combs shifted his focus to his third album instead and says the bluegrass project has been put on pause for now.

Combs shares, “I thought now was a good time to put this song out with everything that has been and is going on in the world. It isn’t meant to be political or try and tell you what to think or believe; that’s not my job. It’s just me saying how I felt when I wrote it and I wanted y’all to hear it.”

Strings adds, “This song is our interpretation of the conflicts and tension we had been witnessing/experiencing around the time we wrote it. We wanted to shine a little light on the situation and offer a bit of hope during what has been a tough time for many.”

Quite literally, this song suggests the great divide that exists within our country right now.

“We’re all so far, so far apart now / It’s as deep as it is wide / We’re about to fall apart now / If we can’t reach the other side / We gotta find a way across the great divide”

“The Great Divide” opens with a very telling image of a reality we are all living. Even if we’re not the ones in the fight or the ones experiencing it every day, we are seeing it every time we go on our phones or turn on our TV’s. It’s likely we don’t go long without a conversation coming up either. It is around all of us and has been for a while now.

“We’re striking matches on the TV / Setting fires on our phones / Bearing crosses we believe in dying on / tempers flare, the flame flies higher / as we soar closer towards the sun / But I like to think too much damage ain’t been done”

As real and to the point as this song is, it still manages to offer a sense of hope among its saddening truth, and remind us that a different ending is possible. A hope that one day we will make our way across this great divide and a reminder that people who were strangers and people who are different and believe in different things have loved each other before.

“Sometimes it seems that our convictions / Side of the fence that we sand on / Makes us all too damn different to get along / But I’ve seen strangers love each other / Like a mother does her son / What we see ain’t only all that’s going on”

Combs has already received widespread attention for another song he wrote and released last summer: “Six Feet Apart”, which was in response to the state of the world in relation to the pandemic. The track was among six new songs included on Combs What You See Ain’t Always What You Get Deluxe Album, released in October of 2020, including “Forever After All”, which debuted at No. 2 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 Chart – the highest entrance ever for a male country solo artist. Combs also received his tenth-consecutive No. 1 single at country radio, a first on Billboard Country Airplay chart. Additionally, the country superstar made history as the first artist ever to have their first two solo studio albums spend 25 weeks or more at No.1 on Billboard Top Country Albums Chart – breaking Taylor Swift’s previous record at 24 weeks.
