Southerland: Boot Up – EP Review | Country Swag

/in , , , /by

New country duo Southerland’s debut EP, Boot Up, featuring “Thing Is,” “Little Bit of You,” and “Along Those Lines” is out now, May 28th, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new music.

After meeting in 2016, Matt Chase and Chris Rogers hit it off musically and began writing and playing small shows together. In 2019, they signed to River House Artists/Sony Music Nashville as Southerland, and today, May 28th, they released their debut EP, Boot Up. With traditional country sounds and smooth harmonies, the duo are poised for big things, and couldn’t be more excited about releasing new music.

“With the craziness of 2020, we kept our feet on the gas in the writers room and in the studio,” shared Southerland. “We’re always excited to release new music, but we’re especially excited about this EP. Some of our very favorite songs we have written are on this project.”

Produced by Greg Bates, all seven songs on the EP were co-written by Chase and Rogers, and feature an array of other writers, including the woman behind many of Blake Shelton’s biggest hits, Jessi Alexander.

The EP opens with the title track, “Boot Up,” and the EP’s tone is immediately set. It’s country, it’s harmonies, and it’s fun. “We wake up every morning before the rooster crows,” they begin over twangy steel guitar and banjo, and it’s clear that the duo is straight country. On this clever ode to cowboy boots, they celebrate the significance of their boots in country life. “We go to work in them // Sun up to sun down // Church in ‘em // Making mama real proud,” They sing. “All the people like me showed up // Boot up.”

On “Might As Well Be Us,” the duo celebrate the good ol’ days when things were better and built to last. However, this isn’t the typical track of longing for simpler times, as they flip it into a love song. “Some things gotta hold together // the kinda thing time can’t touch,” they sing. “Some things gotta last forever // Might as well be // Might as well be us.”

Vocally, Southerland settles comfortably into mid-tempo country, as evidenced on “Came Out of Nowhere” and “Along Those Lines.” On the latter, they celebrate hometowns, and how they’re all similar. “When we wrote this song, we realized that it doesn’t matter where you are from,” explained Chase in a recent interview with Taste of Country. “A lot of time, you grow up very similar to everyone else, and in this song, it’s as if Chris (Rogers) and I came up with our own little fictitious town, where we took a little bit of this and a little bit of that from each of our hometowns and put it together into a song.”

One of the EP’s highlights is “Dance,” a swinging up-tempo track about a girl who just wants to dance, and if the guy wants his chance, he just has to be prepared to dance. She may not be looking for a guy, but that’s all out the window when it comes to two-stepping. “When she wants to dance // Buddy that’s your chance,” They advise. “When her song comes on // No you can’t go wrong // When she wants to dance.”

The EP closes with “Thing Is,” a stomping up-tempo produced by Trent Wilmon. It’s remnant of the best 90s country with its toe-tapping beat and cute story. The wordplay here is exceptional, as they remark “Can’t put my finger on // Whatever made me fall in love like this // She’s got // Whatever that // Thing is.”

With an authentic country sound, Southerland’s debut EP is a welcomed breath of fresh air. We expect big things from this country duo, and in the meantime, Boot Up is a great introduction to the pair.

Boot Up Track Listing:

  1. “Boot Up” (Greg Bates, Matt Chase, Chris Rogers, Austin Taylor Smith)
  2. “Might As Well Be Us” (Greg Bates, Matt Chase, Chris Rogers)
  3. “Came Out of Nowhere” (Jessi Alexander, Matt Chase, Chris Rogers)
  4. “Dance” (Greg Bates, Matt Chase, Chris Rogers)

If you are looking for a true-blue country artist to add to your playlists, look no further than Tyler Booth! The rising singer-songwriter is as country as country gets. Booth dropped his brand new song “Beautiful Outlaw” today.

In a country music landscape that is vast, Booth holds space for classic country music. Relying on 90s influences, “Beautiful Outlaw” is a song straight out of that decade. With enough modern flair to appeal to the newer country fan, the song is something special. Booth’s vocals are piercing, as he sings about a beautiful girl that rejected him.

“That red bandana tied around her neck // Is the only piece of evidence she left // Well if I had her number I’d give her a call // Beautiful outlaw // She didn’t ride into to town on a midnight train // No stick em’ up six shooter // or sidekick with a nickname // She outta be doing’ time, locked up in my arms”

Booth created a relatable and catchy song from rejection. His talent and charisma shine on the new song. “Beautiful Outlaw” is a track that is going to appeal to the masses. It will be interesting too see what Tyler Booth has coming down the pipeline next!

Spencer Crandall: Lost In The Wild – EP Review | Country Swag

/in , , , /by

Spencer Crandall’s newest project, Lost In The Wild EP is available now, May 28th, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new music.

We recently got to chat with rising singer-songwriter Spencer Crandall all about his journey in our Swag Spotlight feature. Crandall is a uniquely passionate artist in the industry. Today, he dropped his newest project, Lost In The Wild EP.

The collection was inspired by Crandall’s last album Wilderness. He decided to remix three of the songs from his last project in a new and fresh way. Additionally, the singer included two brand new songs suggesting that these songs are what was “lost in the wild.”

The record kicks off with arguably the most profound song on the project, “My Person” (Wedding Version). The original of this song catapulted Crandall’s notoriety, allowing him to create even more as an independent artist.

Firstly, “My Person has always been the song that people gravitate towards. It is something I don’t think really has been said, and people love to say it to other people that they love,” shares Crandall in our exclusive interview. The new version of the song is a piano-driven, slowed-down rendition of the hit. He gave the people what they wanted on this track.

Crandall also stripped down his song ‘Things I Can’t Say.” The track is a cheeky love song that we all will get butterflies listening to. With lyrics like “I love you is on the tip of my tongue” and “I want you to want me to be the one,” it’s hard not to smile along to the song. Julia Cole lends her voice to the second verse and chorus, adding an extra element to the already fun-loving song. 

Next up, the project transitions into the two brand new songs off the record. The first, “Apartments in LA”, is one of our personal favorites. Inspired by real-life events, the song conveys all the feelings one feels after a break-up in a new and innovative way. Crandall sings about it being too hard to live in Nashville after a break-up. During our interview, the singer even shared that he really did look on Zillow for apartments in LA, during this time in his life.

“So I’m looking at apartments in LA // Anything to get out of this place // Cause there are too many years, memories here that I just can’t erase”

Additionally, the other song that was ‘lost in the wild’ is a love song called “Nothing To Do With You.” This song proves that Crandall knows romance. The clever wordplay is enough to make every music lover swoon. The artist sings about wanting to spend a whole day doing nothing with his love. It reminds us all of the importance of slowing down and just existing, rather than participating in the everyday rat race.

“All I need is here and now // I want nothing to do with you // I want to waste Saturday in the living room”

Finally, the project ends with “Delete All” (The Nate Dodge Remix). Clearly influenced by his brother’s love of EDM music, the last song is unexpected but enticing. The new version has a vibe that is fresh, and hard not to love. The song transformed into a killer party song, proving that Crandall is a jack of all trades.

It is hard not to love the singer after listening to this project. Spencer Crandall’s Lost In The Wild EP is the real deal. The singer-songwriter is clearly in the right industry. We cannot wait to see his career blossom, as he garners more and more fans!

Morgan Wallen unveils unreleased song “Thought You Should Know” for fans on his social media. Listen to the brand new track below.

As he makes his way back into the limelight, Morgan Wallen continues to share unreleased songs with fans that showcase his growth. Over the weekend, the singer unveiled his latest number, “Thought You Should Know,” which he co-wrote with Miranda Lambert and Nicolle Galyon. Although written previously, Wallen shared that he felt that this was the best time to preview the song with his fans.

Moreover, inspired by his relationship with his mother, the singer digs deep on this track. Wallen proves that he is aware of his falls. Wallen continues to pour his heart out on his songs. It is similar to the vulnerability in tracks like “Livin’ The Dream.” Wallen showcases the human side of fame on this song. Secondly, we predict that it will be a hit with fans as soon as it is released.

“What’s going on mama // Something just dawned on ya // I ain’t been home in some months // Been chasing some songs and women // Making some bad decisions // God knows I’m drinking too much // Yeah I know you’ve been worrying about me // You’ve been losing sleep since 93’ // I thought you should know that all those prayers you thought you wasted on me // Must of finally made their way on through”

Overall, with the success of Dangerous: The Double Album, it is hard to believe that Wallen will stay quiet for long. It is clear that fans are going to support him on his journey. The future is uncertain, but it seems Wallen is exerting his staying power, one lyric at a time.

Adam Sanders: What If I’m Right – Album Review | Country Swag

/in , , , /by

Adam Sanders’ new album, What If I’m Right is available now, May 21st, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new music.

Rising singer-songwriter, Adam Sanders has released his new album What If I’m Right. The 13-track album, each song co-written by Sanders,  shows off not only his talent as a writer but shows his well-rounded talent as an artist.

The album starts out upbeat with the song “All About That”. Written by Sanders, Craig Campbell, and Jacob Rice, it’s a track about enjoying a night out outside and enjoying the moment with a significant other. With warmer weather on the horizon, this song is perfect for summer date night.

“Just One” and the title track “What if I’m Right” are written by Sanders, Rice, and Lynn Hutton. Each song has qualities that just about every listener can relate to. “Just One” is about not giving up on a relationship and asking for that one sign that it isn’t over.  “What If I’m Right”  shares a great dual message. At first listen, you may think it is about two people falling in love. However, the real message is don’t be afraid to put everything on the line and follow your dreams. You can do whatever you set your mind to, you just have to have the passion to get there which Sanders clearly has.

The singer-songwriter shows us who he is as a person throughout the album. Not only does he show us his fun, upbeat self, he lets us into his serious side as well as his connection with religion. “Bible Versus” is a great example. Written by Sanders, Ben Stennis, and Brice Long, this track is for anyone going through a tough time and for them to learn that it’s okay to handle situations in the wrong way as long as you learn from your mistakes.

Showing his love for Nascar, the song “Daddy Jesus and Earnhardt” is one to play before every race. Written by a bunch of collaborators including Sanders and Cole Swindell, the track shows how Nascar isn’t just a sport. It’s a bond that brings families together.

Overall, the album is a great listen and truly shows how hard-working, dedicated, and talented Sanders is. He has written numerous songs for artists including Cole Swindell’s number one “Ain’t Worth the Whiskey” and Dustin Lynch’s Hell of a Night”. Now it’s Sanders’ time to shine and boy does he! We can’t wait to see what’s next for his career.

Ross Copperman: Somewhere There’s A Light On – EP Review

/in , , , /by

Ross Copperman’s new EP, Somewhere There’s A Light On is available now, May 21st, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new music.

GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter, Ross Copperman has been one of Nashville’s biggest songwriters over the past eight years, accumulating 29 number-one hits for artists such as Brett Eldredge, Darius Rucker, Kenny Chesney, Dierks Bentley, and many more. These songs include “Lose My Mind,” “If I Told You,” “Get Along,” and “Living,” to name a few.

While songwriting has been his bread-and-butter, Copperman also has an extensive catalog of his own pop-heavy material. On this project, Copperman teamed up with other big-name writers in the business such as Shane McAnally, Ashley Gorley, Emily Weisband, and even pop-star Ed Sheeran to create five brand new tracks.

“I’ve always liked to write songs to live in any world and not necessarily be too specific to genres,” Copperman shared in a recent press release. “It feels like pop has really been influenced by country writing in the last few years.”

The EP begins with the faith-based tune, “Not Believe.” Copperman admits that it can sometimes be hard to believe there’s something bigger than us out there, referencing God — especially when things are not going your way. However, he meets this wonderful woman who restores his faith and makes him believe. It starts off as a slow piano ballad, but has a large build-up in production when the chorus comes around.

“How can I hurt so long? Finally, come up to breathe // And see the best part of my life standing right in front of me // And not believe”

“Electricity” is a more fun, upbeat track in which Copperman praises this woman, calling her ‘electricity,’ as she lights up his love and his life. He compares her to a strike of lightning because they both rarely happen twice. In “Therapy,” the singer claims he doesn’t need doctors or pills to get him through dark days because this girl’s love is his form of therapy. His smooth, romantic vocals shine on these tracks. Both of these songs were co-written by Copperman, Johnny McDaid, and Ed Sheeran.

Copperman uses the title track as a PSA to what seems to be one particular individual. He is reassuring this person that when life gets you down or you are finished chasing your dream, come home to somewhere there’s a light on, aka, himself. This can be classified as EDM, as there is a bass drop after the chorus.

“When you’re lost, when you’re cold // When you can’t see the road // When the sky runs out of gold and you need a ride home // Take your time, feed your soul // If you ever find yourself alone // And you need a place that feels like home // Somewhere there’s a light on”

Copperman shows his flirty side in the final song, “Holdin’ You,” as it is about the physical aspect of love. The singer ignores the advice of others, who tell him they are moving too fast and that if they want this relationship to last, they have to wait. He responds with “we don’t know what tomorrow is holding. I just know I don’t wanna quit holding you.”

When Copperman writes hit songs, it may be expected of him to just pass them on to another artist. But these tunes were clearly so unique and personal to him that he had to keep them for himself. Although it leans pop, Copperman certainly has five very special tracks here.

“I’m so happy and filled with such a profound sense of joy and optimism for the future. I’ve always felt like my purpose in writing songs that I record would be to share joy and encourage somebody who’s down to know there’s a light on somewhere for them,” Copperman said. “I’m inspired and also, feeling a little vulnerable which feels good. I’m excited. It’s my next chapter.”

1.     “Not Believe” (Copperman, Jordan Reynolds, Emily Weisband)
2.     “Electricity” (Copperman, Ed Sheeran, Johnny McDaid)
