Kane Brown Releases Emotional Video For “Homesick”

/in , /by

Platinum-selling country star, Kane Brown, surprised fans with an emotional yet heartwarming music video for “Homesick”. The track serves as his third single from his forthcoming sophomore album, Experiment.

Co-written by Brock Berryhill, Matt McGinn and Taylor Phillips, Brown finds himself yearning for the comforts of that one person who is home to him on this record.

I’m homesick / This feeling that I’m feeling, no it don’t quit / It’s like half of me is missing / Heaven knows it / That all I wanna do is be alone with / Your brown eyes, just tangled up and holding / Only you tonight until the morning / Baby, that’s the damn truth / If home is where the heart is, I’m homesick for you

The heartening video opens with a special message that reads: “This video is dedicated to the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces. Thank you California National Guard and to those who submitted their personal videos.” He shows his thanks in the beginning and end of the video by greeting and shaking hands with multiple soldiers at the Joint Forces Training Base in Los Alamitos, Southern California.

In between the personal and sentimental clips shown of troops reuniting with family members and loved ones, Brown performs “Homesick” at the same training base, accompanied by two acoustic guitarists.

This song is yet another taste of the singer-songwriter’s upcoming sophomore album, along with previously released songs, “Weekend” and the summer hit “Lose it,” which currently resides in the top 20 on the country radio charts.

Brown recently topped the country nominations for the 2018 American Music Awards which airs live on October 9th at 8PM ET on ABC. He received nominations for Favorite Male Artist – Country, Favorite Song – Country for his double platinum-certified number one smash “Heaven”, along with Favorite Album – Country for his platinum-certified multi-week number one self-titled debut release.

Experiment is available for pre-order right now and is set to release on November 9th. Brown will head out on his headlining ‘Live Forever Tour’ this Winter with special guests Granger Smith, RaeLynn, Danielle Bradberry and Jimmie Allen. Visit kanebrownmusic.com for more information.

Check out our Hero Collection, which like Brown’s video, is inspired by the men and women of the Military, Fire & Police Departments across the country. We are dedicated to honoring their service and remembering their sacrifice. A portion of sales from each purchase in this collection is donated to different foundations each month that support our heroes.

New Music From Billy Currington “Bring It On Over”

/in , /by

Mercury Records Nashville recording artist Billy Currington dropped a new song today, entitled “Bring It On Over”, three years after his last album Summer Forever was released. The track is slated to be what we can assume as the first single off of the singer-songwriter’s highly anticipated seventh studio album, although no formal announcement has been made.

“Bring It On Over,” is fun, upbeat and perfect for radio. Penned by gifted songwriters, Ben Hayslip, Dallas Davidson, Rhett Atkins and Jesse Frasure, the lyrics are intimate, sexy, and relatable. The track captures a story of a couple who cannot get enough of each other, seemingly wanting to be with each other all the time, even though they just saw each other.

Oh baby, just wait a minute / If you’re in the bed stay in it / I’m about to dive on in it / Got to got to get you closer / I’m about to bring you on over

The new single gives off trendy country music vibes, while keeping true to Currington’s traditional country roots. This song is sure to appeal to long-time Currington fans, as well as, fans of new-school country music, such as artists like Dustin Lynch or Chris Lane. With Currington’s ability to keep the crowd on their feet and singing to each and every song during his live performance, this new single is sure to fit right into his show.

“Bring It On Over” can be heard on our New Country Music Playlist and is available everywhere you buy/stream music today.

Kelsea Ballerini Collaborates with The Chainsmokers on “This Feeling”

/in , /by

Grammy nominated country artist, Kelsea Ballerini has teamed up with EDM-pop diamond-selling duo The Chainsmokers for a brand new single titled “This Feeling”. This is not the first time The Chainsmokers have immersed into the country music world. Last year, the duo collaborated with Florida Georgia Line for a song on their album Memories…Do Not Open, titled “Last Day Alive.”

Back in 2016, a twitter exchange between Ballerini and The Chainsmokers sparked possibilities of this collaboration. The duo reached out to the singer-songwriter in a since-deleted tweet, saying they wanted to “hang” with her. Ballerini quoted their tweet responding, “It’s like you’re READING MY MIND. I’m in.”

Ballerini also hinted the collaboration on the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards red carpet, while talking to E! News, “As far as the next record, I want to do a collaboration with The Chainsmokers.” Ballerini and The Chainsmokers officially announced their new single nearly a week ago by posting the cover art to their social media accounts.

Written by Alex Pall, Andrew Taggart and Emily Warren, the record features vocals from Ballerini and the duo’s lead vocalist, Taggart. “This Feeling” tells the story of wanting someone but being told you’re wrong for wanting them by the people around you and feeling misunderstood because this feeling you have is indescribable.

“They tell me think with my head / Not that thing in my chest / They got their hands at my neck this time,” goes the chorus of “This Feeling.” “But you’re the one that I want / If that’s really so wrong, then they don’t know what this feeling is like.”

The sound is distinctive from Ballerini’s two previous albums, giving center-stage to the pop/EDM uptempo beat, but stays true to the similar lyrics of a country love story.

“This Feeling” is another sure to be charted single by The Chainsmokers. The single is available wherever you stream or buy music. Check out the full lyric video below.

Ballerini is currently on tour with Keith Urban for his Graffiti U World Tour, which will stop in New York City on October 27th at Barclays Center. Tickets are available here.

Brett Young’s Releases “Here Tonight” & Announces New Album

/in , /by

Brett Young Here Tonight

After weeks of teasing fans via his social media, with clips and sneak peaks of his new song and upcoming album, the reigning ACM New Male Vocalist of the Year, Brett Young, delivers another sure to be charted single, “Here Tonight.” In the same vein as his hits, “Mercy” and “In Case You Didn’t Know,” the song evokes so much emotion that the listener can’t help but to get caught up in the heartfelt lyrics.

Co-written by Young with Ben Caver, Justin Ebach, and Charles Kelley, “Here Tonight” tells a romantic story of a man getting so caught up in falling in love that it feels like the only moment in time, wishing that it could last forever.

With that being said, “Here Tonight” is a slight departure from the singer-songwriter’s usual sound and heartbreaking lyrics. The track features both pop influences, as well as, a more uptempo, California vibe, making the single a seemingly perfect fit for the California native’s upcoming sophomore album entitled Ticket to L.A.

The artist’s sophomore record, Ticket to L.A. is slated to be released on December 7th via Big Machine Label Group. Album pre-orders are available everywhere, with an exclusive album bundle offered here. The record consists of 13 tracks, including the first single (track two), “Here Tonight.” If the newly released track tells us anything, we can expect Young to show growth both sonically and lyrically, while playing with different genres and tempos, but still delivering those heartfelt and meaningful lyrics we so desire.

Check out the lyric video and the full list of album tracks below. The entertainer will be heading out on his first headlining tour, ‘Brett Young’s CMT on Tour: Here Tonight,’ to New York City’s Playstation Theatre on December 9th, with openers Tyler Rich and Rachel Wammack. For a full list of tour dates, visit Young’s website.

Ticket to L.A Track List:

  1. Ticket to L.A.
  2. Here Tonight
  3. Catch
  4. 1, 2, 3 Mississippi
  5. Let It Be Mine
  6. Where You Want Me
  7. Used to Missin’ You
  8. Change Your Name
  9. Chapters (Feat. Gavin DeGraw)
  10. The Ship And The Bottle
  11. Reason To Stay
  12. Runnin’ Away From Home
  13. Don’t Wanna Write This Song

Ryan Hurd Releases “To A T” featuring Maren Morris

/in , /by

Ryan Hurd To A T

After listening ten times just like Ryan Hurd said to do in his most recent Instagram post, we can agree he has a smash new single on his hands. Though in reality, it doesn’t take more than listening to half of the song to be hooked. The melody of “TO A T” pulls you in immediately and without any second guessing you can tell it will be a fan favorite. The singer-songwriter has been teasing “TO A T” for the past week on social media, first appearing in a video of his coffee cup and later released as a small preview of what was to come. After waiting patiently for Hurd’s next song, it is finally available for download today.

Hurd hasn’t released a new song since March 2018 when he dropped his hit “Diamonds or Twine” as a wedding gift to his wife, Maren Morris. The two met because of music when they were both solely songwriters and now with a singing career of his own, he uses Morris as his muse. The sentiment behind “TO A T” is loving, showing how much he cares for her. As a songwriter, he masters the lyrics perfectly from start to finish telling a sexy love story. That’s not all the song has to offer, the rising country artist herself also takes part in Hurd’s new song. She can be heard harmonizing and providing backup vocals, their voices intertwining flawlessly.  Hurd has got it down “TO A T” with his new release, giving everyone a taste of what is coming next.

New Music: Luke Pell Releases New Single “Radio”

/in , /by

Country Music rising artist Luke Pell first captured our hearts when we hosted a LIVE Swag Session with him back in March.  Pell began his journey into the country music world with the release of his debut single “Pretty Close” and a cross-country tour. He kicked off 2018 with a self-titled EP release and single “Ball Caps and Blue Jeans.”

Fast forward to today, Pell has debuted his latest single “Radio” and it can be streamed and downloaded everywhere music is available.  During our Swag Session, which you can watch below, Pell explains how when he was helping out on his family’s farm when he was younger, there was a small FM Radio that needed aluminum foil on the antenna to get a good signal to hear the two country stations.  Clearly, the music he heard on the radio back then has shaped his musical decisions in his career.

“Radio” pays homage to the radio and how it is the reason behind the things we love. So many things would not be the same if it wasn’t for it, from tailgating and bonfires to even just the simple everyday car rides. The radio is what gives artists like Pell a platform to release new music for the world to hear. The track was written by Pell along with Brock Berryhill, Jay Brunswick, and Taylor Phillips.  Take a listen to his new single below.

We partnered with Pell during the month of July to help raise money for Wounded Warrior Project, an organization he chose. Our Hero Collection honors the men and women of the Fire, Police, and Military Departments, and at the end of the month, a portion of the sales is donated to the organization.

Pell has a very exciting end of the year coming up. He will continue to tour throughout the fall and plans to spend the rest of the year writing for his next project. You can expect to hear more from the artist very soon. His follow up single to “Radio” will be a collaboration with Kalsey Kulyk and is anticipated to drop within the next few months. The future is looking very bright for this talented, rising artist and we can’t wait to see what he has in store for us in the future.
