One of the newest and brightest acts in Nashville, Mitchell Tenpenny seems to be on the verge of a full-length sophomore album in the near future as he released another song titled “Bucket List” on New Year’s Day.
Tenpenny’s debut album Telling All My Secrets was released in December of 2018 and featured the hit song, “Drunk Me” which reached the number one spot on country radio and put his name on the map. Since then, he has released numerous singles including “Here,” “Broken Up,” “Can’t Go to Church,” a cover of Lewis Capaldi’s “Someone You Loved” and the certified gold track “Anything She Says” featuring Seaforth. He also released a Christmas EP this holiday season. In “Bucket List,” Tenpenny reflects on his life and realizes how short it can be. Inspired by COVID-19, he decides to not take his time on Earth for granted and vows to not only cross everything off his bucket list but to keep adding more to it.
Mitchell Tenpenny “Bucket List”
“Find peace of mind in the time the good Lord gives / Imma cross one off, put two more on it / Say I love you ‘fore the moment’s gone / And never have to ask myself what is / When I get to the bottom of my bucket list”

Rising country singer-songwriter, Parker McCollum released a new single titled “To Be Loved By You” on New Year’s Day, available on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dive deeper into the track.
To Be Loved By You Parker McCollum
The Texas-native just received his first number one last week with his self-loathing smash-hit “Pretty Heart” and is immediately releasing new music. “To Be Loved By You” tackles a similar theme—his personal struggle with love and relationships. Listen below:
“So why are you always angry? / Why are you always quiet? / Why do you sleep alone? / When I know you don’t like it / Maybe you might be different / Will it kill you to tell me the truth? / What in the hell does a man have to do to be loved by you?”
Compared to his attitude in “Pretty Heart” and the entire Hollywood Gold EP, it sounds as though McCollum is slowly becoming less hard on himself. In this new song, he admits he has weaknesses but still feels he is the right man for this girl–he just cannot figure out what she wants in a lover.
McCollum is adding to his mainstream country catalog with this release, as he already has an extensive collection as an independent artist.

Hailey Whitters and Little Big Town made the first day of 2021 even sweeter by releasing their new song “Fillin’ My Cup”, perfect for raising spirits in these trying times. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.
It’s hard to believe that the most insane year in many of our lifetimes is over. While 2020 was, in many ways, the worst of times, a huge silver lining was the phenomenal music and art created in that time. Among that music was Whitters’ fantastic record, The Dream, released only a few weeks shy of lockdown. A true songwriter’s record is what was needed to get through the last 10 months, so what better way to start 2021 than with Hailey Whitters’ new perfectly-timed single, “Fillin’ My Cup”?
The song and it’s music video is filled with everything from fiddle to fashion. Written by Whitters, Nicolle Galyon (who also serves as Whitters’ label-head), and Hillary Lindsey is a neo-country sounding track (courtesy of co-production by Whitters and fiancé Jake Gear) all about trying to find the high’s within the inescapable lows of life. It’s sweet and new, yet nostalgic, and distinctively Whitters.
“It’s one part happy and one part chaos / Whole lotta borrowed, little bit paid off / You can’t appreciate the sugar if you never had the salt / Ain’t it nice and sweet even when it’s on the rocks?” Whitters is so good at figuring out how to tie universal and thoughtful messages of living with her own personal musings.
Just when you think the song can’t get better, between the stellar songwriting and Whitters and Little Big Town’s harmonies, Karen Fairchild and Kimberly Schlapman take the second verse. It’s not that the song needed Little Big Town, but having them on it added so much to it vocally, and it made the vibe even more fun and lively. Both have these dreamy, vintage aesthetics that reflect sonically, lyrically and visually. It’s a natural collaboration.
The end of the song is boot-stomping, honky-tonk happy. It coincidentally feels light in the way champagne does on New Year’s Eve. “Yeah, it ain’t the whiskey, it ain’t the wine / Though it sure goes good from time to time / With this high-low life, go and shake it on up / Yeah, that’s the stuff that’s fillin’ my cup”, they sing together on the final chorus.
In 2017, Little Big Town released “Happy People”, a standout Whitters and Lori McKenna co-write that opened their album The Breaker. Both Whitters and McKenna released their own versions of the lighthearted tune, and it’s the song that really kick-started Whitters’ career. This collaboration feels very full circle and characteristically hopeful. And after the year we’ve all had, there’s nothing we need more than hope.

With the release of Diplo’s deluxe version of his album Snake Oil on Friday, December 18th, came his new song with ERNEST, “Bottle’s Bout Dead”.
While the original album, released in May, was Diplo’s debut country album, it was largely a crossover project. Diplo worked with artists from various musical genres and backgrounds including Thomas Rhett, Young Thug, Morgan Wallen, Cam, Blanco Brown, Zac Brown, Danielle Bradberry, Noah Cyrus, Julia Michaels, and Jonas Brothers. In addition to the already star-studded tracklist, the deluxe version now includes songs with ERNEST (“Bottle’s Bout Dead”) and Leon Bridges (“Horizon”).
“Bottle’s Bout Dead” is a metaphor for a relationship that is knowingly nearing its end. Comparing the relationship to a drink at the end of the night, it is as if you know the night is basically over, you just want to finish the last few sips before you call it quits.
“‘Cause this bottles ‘bout dead, just a couple more drops / that open sign’s on, but it’s ‘bout to turn off / this watered-down dream in the bottom of a glass / is all the proof we need, some things don’t last ”
Among a collection of songs that bounce back and forth from traditional country, this song is one of the more direct country songs on the album. Its unique and eclectic arrangement is perfect for a country fan that wants a more modern sound or for music fans in general that want a taste of country music’s incredible songwriting and vocals.
The album’s deluxe release with two additional songs should be able to hold fans over for a little longer as they await the release of Diplo’s ‘Chapter 2’ Album.

Rob Bellamy’s brand new EP Hungry Heart is available now on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new songs off the new EP.
One of our favorite local artists, Rob Bellamy makes great music and has a killer voice. He creates music that is authentic to who he is which relates to country fans everywhere. The singer-songwriter just released his newest project, an EP entitled Starving Eyes a few months ago, and now is back again with seven more brand new songs on a project he is calling Hungry Heart.
Bellamy kicks the record off on a high-energy note with “I’d Rather Have a Beer in My Hand.” Leaning into the blue-collar, everyday story, the song is all about wanting to kick back with friends, rather than working. We can all relate to this song, as he sings “Man this week sure got the best of me / Punching the clock is the last place that I want to be.” A similarly fun track, “Dance With Me” is a sexy, honky-tonk vibe, where Bellamy’s vocals shine and soar.
The project continues into a more romantic sound. “Only Drunk I Wanna Get,” one of our favorites off the EP is a hopeful, love song. Bellamy sings about wanting to get drunk on love with his sweetheart. The soothing and honest quality of the song, as well as, the well-crafted lyrics makes you want to root for this blossoming relationship. “No Space Between” is another romantic and well-thought-out song on the project.
“Until The Weekends Through” is also one of the best off the record. Bellamy leans into the singer-songwriter vibe on this one. Although topically the song is about drinking after a long work week, the singer makes the song feel fresh and innovative.
With a strong instrumental, heavy on guitars, “Wish We Could Have Stayed” is story-telling at its finest. You cannot help, but to fully engage with the lyrics Bellamy is passionately singing. The melody and the backing track amplifies the already captivating track.
“Looking back we had it made / I know time rolls on / But I wish we could have stayed.”
Finally the record ends with Bellamy’s acoustic rendition of “Firebird.” Vocally, the song is exquisite, as the singer takes us through the story of loving a car and loving the simple life. The song was the perfect way to end an already incredible project.
These seven songs could easily join the other group of songs off Starving Eyes to become a full-length project by the promising talent.

Noah Schnacky’s new song, “Every Girl I Ever Loved”, is out today, December 18th everywhere you buy or stream music. Schnacky co-wrote the song with Josh Kear and Lindsay Rimes. It wraps up a big year of new music for Scnacky, who released his debut self-titled EP back in July. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new track.
“Every Girl I Ever Loved” is an ode to Schnacky’s past relationships. A genuine thank you to his exes and for all the right reasons. It’s about growing up, through, and out of relationships. He shares how important each one was both in that given stage of his life and in getting him to where he is today.
“To every girl who took my hand / and listened to my wild plans / hoping now you understand how much I learned from you”
“Every Girl I Ever Loved” is a catchy tune that warms the heart. It’s quite rare for a song about an ex, or multiple in this case, to leave a smile on your face in the way that this one does. It is certainly not your average ‘wish I never met you’, sad, or regretful ex song.
“Thank you for sharing the best years of my life / all of the good times and tears that we cried / and if I become half the man I want to / I hope you know I know it’s all because of you”
Each of Schnacky’s songs is authentic, genuine & honest, and “Every Girl I Ever Loved” is no different. Lyrically and vocally, this song deserves to be a hit.

Schnacky’s self-titled debut EP, released this past summer, received over 60 million streams. The 7-track EP was filled with relatable and nostalgic stories of young love and loss.
Prior to the release of his EP, Schnacky released his debut single “I’ll be the One” in 2019, followed by another single “Feels Like Love”.
Schnacky put himself on the map with his self-released song “Hello Beautiful” in 2018 which attracted one million streams in just 8 days, catching the attention of Big Machine Label Group President and CEO, Scott Borchetta. “Maybe We Will” followed, and the two songs accumulated 65 million streams collectively. Schnacky recorded a 2020 version of each on his EP. Both songs showed off his talented storytelling, soothing vocals, and hopeless romanticism, helping to lead him to his record deal with Big Machine Records. The same talents continued to show throughout his EP and his latest single.

New artist Lily Rose just released a brand new song, “Villain”, available now December 15th everywhere you buy or stream music. Listen to the brand new track and take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.
Newcomer, Lily Rose is already a bonafide superstar according to TikTok users. The singer went viral with snippets of her song “Villain” time and time again, hitting over 1 million views in only thirteen hours. Today the brand new song, “Villain” is officially out, across all streaming platforms.
As a proud member of the LGBTQ community, Rose represents all of us, as she expresses her own experiences and vulnerabilities in her music. “Villain,” co-written by the singer-songwriter with Kyle Clark and Mackenzie Carpenter, is a track all about being labeled the ‘bad guy’ at the end of a relationship. Featuring twangy vocals and catchy production, “Villain” is the song we all need in our collection.
Lily Rose, “Villain”, Available Now
“Yeah I’ve heard ‘em say / I never loved you / Found someone new / Gave up to soon / But that’s half the truth / One point of view / You can be the hero / I can take the fall / If that’s how your story goes / Say it’s all my fault / Whatever helps you sleep at night / Yeah, you can make me the bad guy / Make them all believe it / If that’s how you’re feeling / I can be the villain”
It is only a matter of time before more and more fans catch on to Rose’s one-of-a-kind talent. Her soulful vocals and venerable lyrics are exactly what country music needs. We are already big fans of the singer, and cannot wait to see how the mainstream fanbase reacts to her music.

Eric Church’s new song “Doing Life With Me” is available now on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dive deeper into the new track.
Eric Church has been steadily releasing songs throughout 2020 and as the year comes to a close, “Doing Life With Me” thanks his wife, family, and fans for joining him on his musical journey. The song starts with the singer-songwriter acknowledging his wife and how much she’s had to give up and take on for him to be a successful country music artist— from touring and carrying the many burdens that come with the life of fame.
“It ain’t easy putting up with // A road dog with a cup with // A little Jack in it // You talk about the backseat // I don’t know, don’t ask me // How she sat in it // She carried my burdens and paid my bail // Put a Tennessee breeze in my Carolina sail // And set me free”
Church’s wife isn’t the only one he thanks. He sings about burdens people close to him have had to deal with while he’s pursued his country music dreams. As an incredibly difficult year comes to a close, this song is the perfect way to reflect and give thanks to the people who’ve been there through it all.
“I don’t pray much anymore // for this old troubadour’s // happiness, wishes, wants and needs // end of my ropes, hopes and dreams // Spend my livin’ giving thanks // for the ships I never sank // every big, every little in the everyday things // the notes and the words and the songs I sing // to the ones doing life with me”
“Doing Life With Me” was the product of a marathon writing session Church spent secluded in a rural North Carolina cabin where he wrote and recorded a song from start to finish each day for nearly a month. The Chief teamed up with songwriters Jeffrey Steele and Casey Beathard to pen the song. Both Steele and Beathard have worked with Church on other songs such as “Mr. Misunderstood,” “Hell of a View” and “Stick That In Your Country Song.”
“Doing Life With Me” is the sixth studio recording from his upcoming project. “Stick That In Your Country Song” was the first song released back in June and was recently nominated for a Grammy for Best Country Solo Performance. His most recent song is a stark contrast from the first but shows Church’s ability to bring the rock ‘n roll but also be able to slow things down— something he has done so well.

Josh Kerr and Jake Scott surprised fans by releasing a brand new song together, “If You Wanted It Too”, available everywhere you buy or stream music now, December 11th. Josh Kerr’s soft-songwriter country is what makes him stand out in the genre, and collaborating with the breezy-songwriter pop Jake Scott is the perfect combination for fans of any genre. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.
There’s a specific kind of singer/songwriter-pop that was popular in the late 90s and early 2000s that disappeared for about a decade. When Josh Kerr started making music, he filled that hole in the country world, as did Jake Scott in the pop world. The two have written on several tracks together before: among those being Jake Scott’s “Keep In Touch” and Josh Kerr’s “Arizona”. Today, they surprised fans by releasing a remix of Scott’s title-track “If You Wanted It Too”, and unsurprisingly, it’s one of their best yet.
The song opens with a groovy more acoustic-sounding guitar lick and kickdrum, and Kerr fills the verse with his exceptional, smooth voice. “Seven years of us / Never moving forward,” he sings casually. A gorgeous electric guitar comes in, guiding listeners straight to the chorus, where Scott joins in on harmony.
Lyrically, the song is about a relationship that stood at a standstill for a long time. The hook has a slick double meaning: if you wanted it to work out, I loved you enough for us to make it; if you wanted us too like I did, we would have made it. “I hate that I gave you all I had to lose/Could have had everything we wanted, if you wanted it too”. Sonically, it’s a more upbeat, rhythmic song, but similar to a song like Kerr’s “It Wasn’t That Long Ago,” deep down, you can hear the intentional contrast and hurt in the vocal delivery.
Scott takes the second verse, and his rich, soulful tone sounds amazing against the track. Scott calls out his ex’s commitment problems, citing keys to separate apartments instead of one they share as one, along with the ideology of “taking it slow” after nearly a decade of being together as another. Yet, he loved her too much at the time to let her go.
Jake Scott & Josh Kerr, “if You Wanted It Too”, available now
Both Kerr and Scott are masters at creating songs that will get stuck in your head for eternity that at the same time carry so much depth. Because of how catchy it is, you almost forget how truly vulnerable and confessional this song is. “You didn’t love me quite enough to break my heart/And you couldn’t even cry/When you made me say goodbye”, they sing on the bridge. The breakdown of the final chorus is absolutely stunning with the simplicity of Kerr and Scott’s harmony against almost no instrumentation.
This is one of those songs that is impossible not to like. It’s a major collaboration for both of them because it’s introducing pop fans to Kerr and country fans to Scott. As usual, Josh Kerr has raised the bar in every way possible: lyrically, melodically, and sonically. For years, he’s been Nashville’s best-kept secret, but sooner or later, he’s just going to be one of Nashville’s best.
