Russell Dickerson collaborates with Jake Scott on new song, “She Likes It,” out today, November 5th, on all streaming platforms. Learn more about the brand new track below.
One of our favorites and day ones, Russell Dickerson is always showing off his skills on social media. Just last month, the singer-songwriter premiered a chorus he had written on TikTok, asking someone else to write a verse to it. Jake Scott obliged and an incredible collaboration was born between the two rising stars. Today, Dickerson and Scott released their new song “She Likes It.”
The pop-country tune is the perfect blend of both artists’ sounds. “She Likes It” fits in with each entertainer’s catalog of music. The song kicks off with Dickerson singing a verse that appears to be inspired by his real life romance with his wife and muse, Kailey. However, the second verse is all Scott! The two singers harmonize and sing the rest of the song together, showcasing both of their star-studded talents equally.
“She likes it when I // Pour tequila cause she knows that we about to have ourselves a little night // When I play John Denver through that little Bose speaker // And I start dimming those lights // She knows by the way that I’m kissin’ on her / That we gon’ take our time // She likes it when I”
Dickerson is an artist that could truly collaborate with anyone. As a fan of his and Jake Scott, this collab is one we will certainly have one repeat.

In his blossoming career, Kameron Marlowe has impressed us and fans alike every step of the way. Fans fell in love with his song “Giving You Up,” and now Marlowe is giving fans another heartfelt ballad to obsess over. Today, the singer-songwriter premiered his new song “Steady Heart.”
Written by Marlowe with Jessi Alexander, and Dan Isbell, the song was inspired by Marlowe’s parents almost 30 year relationship. “This song is incredibly special to me and because of that I’ve been holding onto it until the time was right. It’s one of my favorite’s I’ve ever been a part of,” shares the singer. “‘Steady Heart’ is a love story about finding that person who balances you and makes you better. The lyrics are these striking images, and I’d never written a song as based in visuals as this one. ”
“But God only knows where we’ll end up // When you mix my calloused ways with her sweet touch // She’s a candlelight in all my dark // When we come together we’re the best of who we are // My stubborn mind and her steady heart // Her steady heart”
The idea of having balance in relationship is something we should all strive for. Marlowe’s emotions shine through on the track. It is clear that his parent’s relationship have deeply impacted him in profound ways. Marlowe is the real deal and we’re certain he will be here for a long time.

LOCASH dropped their brand new EP, WOODS & WATER available now, November 5th, on all streaming platforms. Learn about and listen to the new music below.
In country music, there is one duo that continues to march to the beat of their own drums. Gold-certified singer-songwriters, LOCASH are back with a brand new EP to entertain fans. Preston Brust co-wrote each of the five tracks on the record, while Chris Lucas penned four out of the five tunes. The new EP WOODS & WATER is out now!
“We can’t wait to share this music, we kept it all on a positive note like we do best, and we collaborated with some bucket list voices and writers. We wanted WOODS & WATER – EP to be a mini vacation – a getaway,” shares LOCASH. Relatable and easy to sing along to, this project hits every feel-good tempo. It’s us. These are the anthems the world needs right now.”
The record kicks off with “Beach Boys.” The Southern-rock infused track is fun-loving from the jump! The song feels old-school and just a ton of fun. Lyrically, the song is synonymous with a carefree day with friends and your love at the beach. “Let’s take the country to the beach boys // Give me the beach boys.” What could be better than that?!
“In The Woods” is a slower jam, but still has the same fun-loving appeal as the previous track. The song conveys the idea that you can have tunnel vision for the one you love. Despite all the craziness, sometimes it can be magical to just drown out all the noise of life, and focus on the one you love.
“The whole world’s gone crazy // But It ain’t here baby // Just us and the birds and the bees // It’s all fine in the pines // Where the moon shine like it should”
The middle track “Sippin Sunsets” is one of our favorites. Penned by LOCASH with Jason Duke and John Byron, the lyrics depict all the magic that a sunset brings with your love. LOCASH know how to bring the feel-good vibes and the romance on this new song.
On “Small Town For Life,” the duo digs their boots deeper into the country. Clearly proud of their small-town roots, the song conveys everything that is amazing about being from a small town. LOCASH make sure to pay homage to other incredible country songs on this one-of-a-kind ode to small-town living.
“I’m still small town for life // I’m a one stop light on the back 49 // I’m a country boy can’t survive // In my F-150 with my baby riding with me // I”m the definition of some jeans and boots // Ain’t nobody digging up my red dirt roots // I’m a small town for life // Til the day I die”
The record closes with “Chillionaire.” Possibly the most summer ready tune on the new EP, LOCASH prove that they are the kings of chilling on this track.
Throughout the five songs on the record, one theme continues to be prevalent: LOCASH know who they are and the music they make. Congrats to a great EP!

Thomas Rhett’s new song “Slow Down Summer” is out today, November 5th, on all streaming platforms. Learn more about the brand new track below.
Over a year ago, Thomas Rhett shared an unreleased song on his social media. The nostalgic tune had fans begging for its release almost instantly. Today, that desire is coming true! Rhett released his new song “Slow Down Summer.”
The brand new song is embodied nostalgia. According to Rhett, the song depicts a teenage romance that is about to be disrupted by college plans. “‘Slow Down Summer’ really is about two kids in love. I think it was my envisionment of two high school kids – one’s going to one college, one’s going to a different college, and they kind of know that once the leaves start changing that this relationship probably ain’t gonna make it,” shares Rhett.
We all know the feeling of wishing summer would last forever, so that we can spend more time with our loved ones.
“Falling fast in a one lane town // Tangled up with your lips on mine // Never seen a brighter green in those eyes // I put my jacket on your shoulders // Wishing the weather wasn’t getting colder”
Rhett continues to give us song after song to play in the soundtrack of our lives. We love that he continues to go back to his country roots, and this song is the perfect direction for the singer-songwriter.

Renee Blair debuts her brand new album, Seventeen, available now, November 5th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the incredible new record below.
Renee Blair is a singer-songwriter, whose artistry soars throughout her music. It has been a long time coming, but Blair finally released her brand new project today. Blair’s new album Seventeen is here!
The seventeen song project is full of brand new songs and tracks the singer has released over the last couple of years. The record is a true culmination of her tireless work ethic. Kicking off with songs like “Gotta Quit Drinkin” and “Heart’s In Your Head,” both songs depict the soft and sweet side of Blair.
“But when your heart’s in your head // And it’s doing all the thinking // When your will ain’t as strong // As the well you been drinkin’ // When you know what you should do // But you do the other thing instead // You put your hand on a flame // When your heart’s in your head”
Tales of heartbreak, falling in love, and everything in between continue as the album progresses. Fan-favorite, “Heatin’ Up My Summer” portrays a hot new romance, while “Soon As I’m Happy” is that age-old story about an ex always coming back at the most inopportune times.
Previously released songs “Turn Up the Night” and “Girlfriend” are tracks four and five. The former is a sassy and celebratory track that is part of Blair’s self-proclaimed “party track” of tunes, which includes “Downtowned Up”. “Girlfriend,” first released in 2019, is a relatable song about wanting to be with someone, who is perfect, but not single.
Similarly, “Handsome” is another honest and swoon-worthy song, tinged with R&B flavor. The love song is a true inspiration to all of us, clearing stemming from the part of Blair, who knows what true love is made of.
“He brings me flowers when it ain’t even my birthday // He fills the bath up when he knows I’ve had the worst day // And when I’m talkin’, I can tell he’s really listenin’ even when I’m bitchin’ // He knows how to fix it with the right thing to say”
On one of our favorite songs, “You Did,” Blair’s vulnerability is on full display. She sings about not knowing if she could love again. Fortunately, a man was able to help put her heart back together and convince her again that love is worth it.
On the flip side, Blair sings about an on and off again relationship on “Better Off.” “Wearin’ It Well” and “Here I Am” are other songs that convey the confusion of love and heartbreak. On the contrary, “Me Tonight” is a vulnerable song, where Blair wants to be with someone without worrying about the consequences.
Another standout track on the record is “Get the Girl.” The advice driven song is written to a man by the songstress. Blair shares all the secrets to a successful relationship on the track.
Overall, Blair’s new album Seventeen was worth the wait! The singer-songwriter shines vocally and her lyrics rival the best songwriters’ in town. She is the real deal, and we hope everyone falls in love with this incredible full-length project.

Tenille Townes’ new song “Villain In Me” is out today, November 5th, on all streaming platforms. Learn more about the brand new track below.
Nearing the end of the ‘Skeletons Tour’ with Brothers Osborne and gearing up for her first headlining tour that covers venues across both Canada and the United States, the “Somebody’s Daughter” singer-songwriter has brought out the floodgates with a heavy-hearted sentiment in her new song “Villian in Me”. Lyrically, the narrative is self-reflecting with a spoonful of a not-so-sugar-coated moment of pessimism.
Despite Townes’ hesitancy to drop the socially accepted, life-of-the-party mask and allow remnants of a vulnerable and intricate state of mind to be seen, the 27-year old Canada native is letting go of the weight. “This song terrifies me, but I feel more hungry for honesty than I ever have in my life before”, she shares in a press release, “and that hunger is carrying me to a much more personal anchor in my songwriting.”
“Villian in Me”, written by Alex Hope and Townes, publicly originated on social media platforms when an unfiltered clip had been shared with seemingly no real intention for the song to be given a proper release date. However, following the support and encouragement from followers and slipping surprise performances in her setlist in recent appearances, the production is now available on all streaming platforms.
“The voice that I don’t wanna hear // The hurtful words I say // The long list of things about myself I wanna change // The heavy cloud that won’t leave even after it rains // I try to be a hero ‘til it brings me to my knees // Yeah, there’s a villain in me”
With an artist that leans articulately to the most beautiful things, there’s a captivating aroma that encircles Townes. “Villain in Me” is no exception. A delightful truth is present within these painful words that flow elegantly over a fingerpick: a sense of togetherness.
“Sometimes that mask gets heavy and I’m working on how to set it down,” Tenille admits. “I’m still very much in the process of figuring that out and I want this song to be an invitation for anybody else out there listening to feel like they can join me in that process.”

Lily Rose drops three new song to add to her debut EP Stronger Than I Am. Check out our full review and listen to the brand new music below.
Earlier this month, rising artist Lily Rose released her debut EP, Stronger Than I Am.The project featured seven original songs that speak to Rose’s one-of-a-kind talent, including hit songs like “Villain” and “Know My Way Around.” Today, the songstress surprises fans, adding three brand new songs to the collection.
The first new song is “Someone New In Town.” Written by Rocky Block, John Byron, and Jordan Gray, the track is one of the two new outside cuts for the singer. Sonically, the song fits in perfectly with the rest of her body of work. On the track, Rose uses a melancholy tone and sings of hoping that there is another person doing the things she thinks her ex is doing aka, “someone new in town.” Rose pleads to not have her heart broken on this enticing new song.
The other outside cut, “Every Last One,” is a love song. It is the perfect time to release this heartwarming song as personally, Rose just got engaged to her girlfriend earlier this week. The song drops the facade of being too cool and focuses on wanting everything with that special someone.
“There’s no place on earth that I’d rather been // I want every last one // All those little half drunk kisses in the kitchen with a handle of red wine // I want every midnight, every single sunrise // Baby what are you doing for the rest of your life”
Finally, the third new addition to the Stronger Than I Am project is “I’d Be Lying.” Written by Rose with Matt Dragstrem and Jordan Minton, the singer-songwriter shines on the powerful song. One of the most relatable tracks that Rose has released so far, “I’d Be Lying” is about the way we all act after a break-up. We all pretend to be “fine,” despite the fact that things are tough and emotions are meant to be felt. The song is the perfect infusion of the singer’s vocals and honest lyrics.
With each and every release, Rose is proving her staying power in the industry. She is honest, true-blue, and a bonafide talent in country music. We cannot wait to watch Rose continue to soar!
Stronger Than I Am is available everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more new recently released tunes on our ‘New Country Music’ playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

Drew Green’s new music makes up the second installment in his series, an EP called Dirt Boy Vol. 2. featuring five clever songs. Take a listen below.
Tennessee native and Sony Music recording artist, Drew Green is back with Dirt Boy Vol. 2, following Dirt Boy Vol. 1, that came out in September of 2020. Vol. 2 contains five tracks, including the previously released “Cold Beer and Copenhagen” and the fun drinking ode “Hooch.”
Green continues to blend genre lines on this new EP, combing country themes with trap beats reminiscent of Colt Ford and early Florida Georgia Line. The opening track “Get Up and Get It” is heavily hip-hop influenced, as Green raps what life is like being a hard-working country boy. It is a tough job, but that coffee can has to get filled somehow.
“Work like a dog, sleep like a log // Saddle up again in the morning // Work like a dog, sleep like a log // Get up and get it again // Woooahh, work ‘til the work day ends // Oooohh, get up and get it again”
“Cold Beer and Copenhagen” is more contemporary country, as the singer admits his struggle with things that are no good for him, which includes Miller Lites, wintergreen dip, and replying to this woman’s 2am texts. His temporary reassurance lives on the phrase “what’s one more gonna hurt? it’s only one more time,” well-aware that he is lying to himself and knows one day, he will need to quit her permanently.
In the title track Green uses clever wordplay to describe the type of person he is, which is a self-proclaimed “dirt boy.” He sings in the chorus, “I’m a dirt boy // wake up and go to work, boy // Raised up in a church, boy // But I’ve been known to cuss and drink // I try to live right, boy // Got your back in a fight, boy // But most of all I’m her boy, and that’s what I’m gonna be ‘til I’m six-feet-deep in the dirt, boy”
Unlike the previous two songs, “Hooch” reverts to the trap beat while mixing in some string picking. Although this track is simply about Green having moonshine in his possession, it is an enjoyable song to throw on your country tailgate playlist.
“John Deere Blue” is another cleverly-worded track about a man using his tractor to get over a breakup. The only thing that can keep his mind off her is working out in the field.
“This broken heart is breaking ground, if I’m gonna move on I got work to do // Might’ve missed a couple spots but it really don’t matter // I was drunk on a tractor missing you, I’m John Deere blue”
Drew Green is an exciting new artist, bringing his own sound to country music. Fans can hope the Dirt Boy-era is not over and there will be a Vol. 3 in the near future.
Dirt Boy Vol. 2 EP Tracklist:
Get Up and Get It
Cold Beer and Copenhagen
Dirt Boy
Hooch
John Deere Blue
Green has several tour dates remaining in 2021, including a stop in New York City at Webster Hall on December 15th. For tickets, head to his website.
