Avenue Beat Release Studio Version of Viral Hit, “F2020”

Every time we write about the powerful female trio that is Avenue Beat, we become more and more in awe of their talent, charisma, and uniqueness. Their song “i don’t really like your boyfriend” went viral on TikTok just last month, and fans begged for the rising artists to release a recorded version, they obliged. Now, Avenue Beat is at it again with another viral song, “F2020.”

 

 

Like all of us, Sami, Savana, and Sam have been navigating this pandemic in their own ways. For the songstresses, singing and songwriting seem to have remained their number one coping skill, and we are reaping the benefits. “F2020” is an anthem for this year. The ladies cuss out the year with this necessary, yet pleasing song. The second the beat drops and the chorus hits, you become a full-fledged fan of the song and in turn of Avenue Beat.

“Yo my cat died / and a global pandemic took over my life / And I put out some music nobody liked / So I got really sad and bored at the same time / That’s why I’m like / Lowkey fuck 2020/ Still sad, still ain’t got no money”

The ladies express all the turmoil we all feel about how crazy this year has been so far. Through their catchy, yet truthful lyrics. Furthermore, the fact that they had the courage to release it on their social media platforms, and now obliging fans once again by recording it, just shows how much guts and passion they have for their music and their fans. You’re lying if you don’t think “F2020” is a smash hit. Avenue Beat has somehow found their own lane in music, and we are loving every second of it.

To keep up with Avenue Beat follow them on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

“F2020” is now available everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more new recently released music here on our ‘New Country Music’ playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

NYCS First Impression: Brett Eldredge ‘Sunday Drive’

Brett Eldredge Sunday Drive

 

“Why do I, always try, to run away from you?” Brett Eldredge asked on his 2017 self-titled album. At the time, the closer, “Castaway” was the most vulnerable he had ever gotten with fans. On his latest release Sunday Drive, out today, July 10th, Eldredge has stopped running from himself and embraced everything he used to shy away from. Lyrically, sonically and personally, this is Eldredge’s bravest piece of work.

The opener is the overwhelmingly joyous “Where The Heart Is”, co-written by Eldredge, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Tyler Johnson. The acoustic guitar is folksy and the soaring strings and harmonies add an extra layer of depth. “Where’d you lose your sense of wonder? / The firework goin’ off in your head / ’Cause there was a time we weren’t thinkin’, we were flyin’ / We were alive / I wanna feel alive.” Next is “The One You Need” which follows the same energy. It’s in the same vein as “Love Is A Wild Thing” by Kacey Musgraves – it’s ethereal in its sound and lyrically, about finding a love you can trust.

Eldredge collaborated with Ian Fichituk and Daniel Tashian, who are responsible for projects like Musgraves’ Golden Hour, Little Big Town’s Nightfall, and their band, Skyline Motel’s After Dark. “I couldn’t imagine having created this album with anyone other than Ian and Daniel, who are both incredible and so musically inclined,” Eldredge stated in a press release. “I’ve always wanted to have more space for my voice, not only vocally but also lyrically, and they provided a way for me to do that with this beautiful music. Collaborating with them helped take this album to wonderfully different places, introducing me to a unique sound that is unlike any of my other records.”

Songs like “Fall For Me” and “Then You Do” are two of the more starry-eyed, poppy vibes on the project, while tracks like “Magnolia”, “When I Die”, and “Fix a Heart” lean on the Americana/Triple A-side. Eldredge’s love of indie-pop, traditional country, and swing jazz are sprinkled in each song differently. Sometimes it’s through a slide guitar or a brush drum, or through the storytelling and powerful vocal delivery. No matter the track, everything remains cohesive.

“I knew I had to do things differently this time, so I threw caution to the wind and got away from all that I was comfortable with in order to go deeper,” Eldredge said. “I didn’t even listen to the radio for a year because I didn’t want to know what music somebody else was making. Not because I don’t care, but because I had to figure out what I needed to say for myself. By making sure I wasn’t being influenced by anything other than what my heart was saying, I was able to write what I wanted to, which was important. Recording this album ended up being the most powerful thing I’ve ever been a part of.”

“Sunday Drive”, the title track and the only song that Eldredge didn’t have a hand in writing, and closer “Paris, Illinois”, are beautifully cinematic and atmospheric. Eldredge’s love of the blue-eyed soul is at it’s most prominent, and you can hear the emotion in his voice telling the story. “And that’s where I learned it all, from them / To fight, to love, to laugh again / Man, I thought we were only wasting time / Out on a Sunday drive”. Eldredge grew up in a map-dot town, but it doesn’t matter where you’re from or who you are; these stories are universal, and a reminder of how much we share in common. “Paris, Illinois”, is truly a musical moment. The minute-long outro feels like the end of an old-school black-and-white movie, where there’s a convertible going down the road in slow motion. It’s as if the credits are rolling, and you can take in the whole picture that is Sunday Drive. It’s reflective and classic, which is exactly what the album is.

“You have to give yourself permission to do anything in life, to be brave a little bit,” Eldredge explained. “I got to a certain point where I felt like I wasn’t giving enough of myself and it took a lot of self-awareness to finally realize that if I do have more in me, then I’ve got to step up and take that step off the edge.”

Eldredge did more than just take that step off the edge. He opened his heart, jumped, and took a chance that resulted in this timeless album. In 50 years, when people talk about Brett Eldredge, this is the record they’ll remember. It’s not about radio airplay or hit chasing. It’s about taking the long way down a road until you know where you’re going. He held on to these messages and songs for a long time, and it may have taken 7 years and a few detours, but Brett Eldredge has finally arrived.

Ross Ellis Asks A Quiet Prayer To A Higher Power in “Love Blind”

Ross Ellis Love Blind

One of the more profound and innovative vocalists in the country music genre is Ross Ellis. We named him one of our 2020 Artists to Watch because of his undeniable charm and talent, as well as, for his creative songwriting. On the heels of success with tracks like “Buy and Buy” and “Home To Me,” Ellis released his newest song “Love Blind” today.

Ellis finds away to bare his soul with each song that he releases. He time and time again invites fans into his heart and mind, hoping that they will accept him and his talent. On “Love Blind” Ellis takes that notion of hoping to be “good enough” and internalizes that onto this track. The new song is all about acknowledging your past and your wrongdoings, but hoping it does not impact your current relationship.

I guess she loves like you do / Tell all your angels to work overtime / Stay on both shoulders / Keep me in line / You walked on water and turned it to wine / So Lord make me better and keep her love blind”

For Ellis, blind love seems to mean full acceptance. He hopes that a higher power will keep him on the right path to make this relationship work because it is important to him. I think we can all understand that intense desire and hope in a relationship; however, the singer-songwriter finds a way to evoke those emotions through poetic lyrics and vulnerable sentiments, with killer guitar riffs and vocal layering to add to the already impressive ambiance.

To keep up with Ross Ellis follow him on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

Sneak Peek: Jimmie Allen to Release Nelly Collab, “Good Times Roll”

Back in December 2019, during his opening slot on the CMT on Tour with Michael RaySwag Session alumni, Jimmie Allen performed a killer new song called “Good Times Roll”. The singer-songwriter teased that the song would come later this year and featured a collaboration with none other than cross-genre recording artist Nelly.

Now, as 2020 quickly becomes pretty much the worst year of existence, fans everywhere can rejoice knowing that Allen will officially release the catchy new song along with an entire album of all-star collaborations this Friday, July 10th. Check out a sneak peek of the song in the video below.

 

“Good Times Roll” is a perfectly titled tune geared towards making fans dance and sing along. Written with rapper Nelly, the new jam even features a snippet of Nelly’s classic song “Country Grammar” of his debut record. The new song is infectious and will get stuck in your head after just a single listen. Allen is proving that his talent resonates across genre lines and that modern country music has no boundaries for a reason.

When it comes to his co-writer, Nelly is no stranger to collaborations. He has collaborated with everyone from Simple Plan to other hip-hop artists to even country’s own Florida Georgia Line on their smash hit “Cruise.” He also earned himself a major crossover hit with his song “Over and Over Again” featuring Tim McGraw and penned his own country tune, “Sound Good to Me.”

In addition to Nelly, the new album, titled Bettie James, also features artists like Brad Paisley, Charley Pride, Darius Rucker, Mickey Guyton, Tim McGraw and more. If each song is anything like this one, we know it will be an album full of greats.

Bettie James will be available Friday, July 10th across all streaming platforms. For the latest new tunes in country music, follow our  ‘New Country Music’ playlist.

Kane Brown to Release Fan Fave “Be Like That” with Khalid & Swae Lee

During the opening night of Kane Brown’s Worldwide Beautiful Tour, the country superstar debuted a brand new, unreleased track called, “Be Like That”. Brown prefaced the song, claiming that it would officially be released sometime in 2020 and would be his next single to pop radio. Further adding that the song would have a surprise collaboration that he was really excited about.

Although 2020 has had many ups and downs, (let’s face it, mostly downs), fans will be excited to learn that the catchy song is finally being released to all streaming platforms this Friday, July 10th. Brown teased the news on his Instagram with a save the date and announcing Khalid and Swae Lee would join him on the track.

Check out a teaser of the song in the video below from Brown’s Worldwide Beautiful Tour.

 

“Be Like That” is another heavily produced track in which the singer describes his complicated relationship. He hates constantly texting her and thinks he might be better off on his own but at the same time he says he’s not himself without her and he would never be able to move on if they broke up.  This is a common scenario that is not often expressed. The usual situation described in country music involves two people who have broken up but after a few drinks, they make an overnight mistake which leads them to evaluate their status. Brown calls attention to what’s going through the mind of someone in that relationship rather than what that person is doing to get over it.

The song is set to be released Friday, July 10th. In addition to “Be Like That”, Brown also debuted a second unreleased track titled, “Vodka Cranberry”. Check it out here.

Ingrid Andress Releases Party Anthem “Waste of Lime”

Waste of Lime

It’s only been a few months since Ingrid Andress released her debut album Lady Like, and now she’s back with a new, feel-good summer song. This one strives away from her usual musical stories of estranged or distant love. Though, “Waste of Lime” is the most involved and grand production that Andress has been a part of with seven other songwriters being a part of the process, practically guaranteeing another hit after “More Hearts than Mine” climbed to the top of the charts in April.

Perfectly released before the Fourth of July weekend, the track explores a bar scene in which one person has been led on to believe they may be spending the night with someone. However, once the opportunity comes, the individual walks away to revoke any preconceived notions of what the night may hold. And, after a few rounds of drinks, the renegade is simplified to a waste of lime.

“You’re just a waste of lime / Waste of a real good time / I guess I’ll be going home all alone / No Patron Silver lining / Just an empty margarita / Left me and this tequila high and dry / No drunk pickup lines / No “Your place or mine?” / You’re just a waste of lime”

“Waste of Lime” is the start of Andress’ sophomore career and sets up the anticipation for what else this singer-songwriter from Colorado has in store for her fans. This track speaks for itself and showcases the beginning of a versatile artist with bottomless limes.

To keep up with Ingrid Andress, follow her on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.

“Waste of Lime” is now available everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more recently released music here on our ‘New Country Music’ playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

Raelynn Confesses Details of a Breakup in “Me About Me”

Raelynn Me About Me

Photo Credit: Ford Fairchild

Two-time ACM New Female Vocalist nominee Raelynn is making 2020 her year. Releasing sassy “Bra Off” and “Keep Up”, the country singer + songwriter has just released her latest single “Me About Me.”

“Me About Me” is the latest look off of the singer-songwriter’s EP Baytown coming out via Round Here Records on August 14th; the label created by Florida Georgia Line. Written by Bob DiPiero and Jeff Garrison and the singer herself, the mid-tempo track talks about a one-sided relationship. The chorus discusses all the little things that the singer’s ex could’ve known about her – but never asked. She sings, “Your first ride was a 1990 Wrangler // Your first kiss was a game of spin-the-bottle // When it comes to you I can answer any question // That’s what happens when you just sit back and listen.”

“We were talking about past relationships, and I told her about a situation with an ex where I knew everything about him, but he never asked me about me,” says RaeLynn said in a press release, “It made me realize that I wasn’t alone, a lot of people have probably had the experience of a relationship being one-sided like that.”

RaeLynn’s forthcoming EP Baytown takes the name of her hometown in Texas. It’s full of sass, grit, and her fiery personality that everyone loves. She co-penned every song on the EP while Corey Crowder produced its entirety. She shared the inspiration behind the aesthetics of the artwork of her upcoming work on her Twitter page, “Behind every queen, there’s a group of creative queens who MAKE IT HAPPEN. I came upon the pic of @AliciaSilv on the cover of @RollingStone when we were working on the mood board for the #BAYTOWN photoshoot. I was instantly obsessed & wanted to create the same vibe with baby blue!”

Josh Kerr Releases A Wistful Song About An Old Love Titled “Arizona”

Arizona Josh Kerr
Last fall, Josh Kerr released a heartbreaking ballad called “Oklahoma”. It’s about losing a loved one to their hometown, and what it feels like to pick up your own pieces. 10 months later, Kerr is back with the second song of 12 to be released later this year, and this time it’s the wistful “Arizona”.

“Arizona” is a nostalgic and reminiscent breakup song co-written by Kerr, Cale Dodds, and Jake Scott about a summer a love that has fizzled out, and suddenly the little things catch you off guard and you remember that person. Specifically, it focuses on a trip that the couple took together before things went south. It’s incredibly descriptive; Kerr still has the polaroids with the dates on the back, the bucket list they wrote, and he sees her in the stars during the summer.

There’s significance in feeling like the world is so vast and unknown when you’re young. Standing on the edge of a place like the Grand Canyon makes you feel like you can do anything and you can taste that freedom. “We were bare feet and red wine/Do you remember how I’d hold ya?” Kerr asks during the chorus. He describes their slow dances to Oasis’ “Champagne Supernova”, their dream of matching tattoos, and her “diamond-back-ballcap” that was worn on the first date. There are hints of regret in Kerr’s intense vocal delivery, but mostly, you can hear the longing for the simplicity of that summer. It leaves the listener wondering if he wants her or that feeling back.

Kerr also produced the track, and an interesting choice he made was not including drums in the song. There’s some tambourine that adds another layer throughout, but what makes this song so powerful is that it’s all about the words, the guitar, and his voice. It’s a true country song: three chords and the truth.

No matter the song or the album, Kerr never holds back being vulnerable. His most upbeat songs will make you think as much as the slower, mid-tempo ones like “Arizona”. Every moment has a purpose, and it’s what makes him such a one-of-a-kind writer, artist, and producer.

Mitchell Tenpenny Gets Honest On New Track “Broken Up”

Mitchell Tenpenny Broken Up

We have been championing Mitchell Tenpenny, since before his record deal, before his number one hit, and before his headlining tour, and we are so proud to continue to do so. Tenpenny has made quite the career for himself, while still maintaining his integrity and his own sound. Today, the singer-songwriter released his newest track entitled “Broken Up.”

One of the most intriguing things about Tenpenny is the distinct tone of his voice, which resonates throughout all his music. “Broken Up” has that special quality, where you know, instantly, that it is Tenpenny singing. Lyrically, the song is about a guy who feels that he has made the wrong decision by breaking up with his girlfriend. In a unique twist on a traditional break-up song, Tenpenny finds a way to evoke honesty, pain, and reality by telling the story of the person, who does the breaking up rather than the other way around.

But baby I’m still broken up about it / Yeah, I’ve had it up to here, had enough about it / Maybe I will up about it / Yeah, but only if I drink until I’m drunk about it / I wish that I could say that I’ll be fine / But baby I’m still broken up about it”

The new song follows suit with the likes of tracks from his debut record Telling All My Secrets, but this one elevates Tenpenny’s unique talent and vocals. We suspect that this new single is going to be another big hit with the fans!

Chris Young Releases Next Single “If That Ain’t God”

If That Ain't God Chris Young

These last few months have been tough, but Chris Young reminds us of the positive to come out of every situation with his new single “If That Ain’t God”.

Written by Young, Matt Roy, Mitchell Oglesby, and Greylan James, the song has beautiful acoustics, putting you instantly in a tranquil setting. “If That Ain’t God” has a beautiful message of hope, as it starts out with a child hitting a home run after beating cancer. The Tennessee native then sings about his own struggles and how grateful he is for where God led him in his career. It’s the perfect reminder that we all go through tough times, but it’s what makes us who we are today. We are all on a path, and God will steer us to where we are supposed to be.

“If that ain’t God if that ain’t Him / If that ain’t the man upstairs somewhere looking down on us again / Don’t it make you wanna pray, don’t it make you wanna live / Oh, if that ain’t God, if that ain’t God, I don’t know what is”

This is Young’s first release in over a year after releasing “Drowning” in 2019, and he has hit out of the park again. The singer-songwriter teased the song on his Instagram on May 27th and after an overwhelming response from fans, he decided it would be his next single. We can’t thank him enough for deciding to release this song. It’s a song that we all need to hear, especially now.
