Lee Brice Releases Studio Version of “Hey World”

/in , /by

 

Originally unveiled during a special living room performance on Fox & Friends, Lee Brice has officially released the studio version of “Hey World”.

 

In light of the tough times that we’re living in, Brice wrote the powerful track along with Dallas Davidson and Adam Wood. The beautiful piano ballad captures the essence of how we’re all feeling during the global pandemic while diving deep emotionally.

The song opens with the powerful and gut-wrenching lyrics that immediately resonate with fans around the world.

“Hey world, leave me alone / I don’t want to turn on the TV, ain’t nothing but bad news on”

The country star continues to sing from the heart, infusing his quintessential country twangs passionately throughout the lyrics.

“Hey world, I just need some space / Could you give me a minute, to catch my breath today”

The simple piano melody provides comfort, while the song encapsulates the feeling of wanting to escape from what is happening and pretend that it isn’t real. The repetition of the line “Hey world, leave me alone” transports the listener into a mental place of peace and comfort.

Brice and his fellow songwriters put deep feelings into words, in order to help those at home find solace in these tough times. This song embodies the power of music and lyrics, which has the ability to connect an artist with its audience, as we are all navigating this unimaginable time together.

LEE BRICE – “Hey World” Lyrics

Hey world, leave me alone
I don’t wanna turn on the TV
Ain’t nothing but bad news on
Yeah, the rain can wait for another day
This heart’s worn out, had all it can take

Hey world, leave me alone
Don’t call me up today, I won’t be picking up the phone
I’m gonna sit here on this porch swing and listen to the pines sing
Everything I need’s right here at home
Hey world, leave me alone

Hey world, I just need some space
Could you give me a minute to catch my breath today
I don’t need that long, and you ain’t going nowhere
So if you don’t mind, yeah, if you don’t care

Hey world, leave me alone
Don’t call me up today, I won’t be picking up the phone
I’m gonna sit here on this porch swing and listen to the pines sing
Everything I need’s right here at home
Hey world, leave me alone
Leave me alone, yeah

Hey world, leave me alone
Don’t call me up today, I won’t be picking up the phone
I’m gonna sit here on this porch swing and listen to the pines sing
Everything I need’s right here at home
Hey world, leave me alone
Hey world, leave me alone
Leave me alone

NYCS First Impression: Lena Stone ‘Princess’ EP

/in , /by

Lena Stone Princess EP

Today marks the release day of powerful songstress and former Swag Spotlight, Lena Stone’s newest project, an EP entitled Princess. Stone is one of the founding members of Nashville’s female community of songwriters, the Song Suffragettes. However, now she is stepping out on her own and displaying her stellar songwriting and vocals to the world on this five-song record.

The EP kicks off with one of the two previously released tracks, “Hotel”. A feel-good anthem, the song is a reminder to all of us to just simply enjoy life. The pop-country track has summer written all over again and begs for imagery of driving down the highway in a convertible. Furthermore, the double meaning of the lyric “Leave your baggage at home and let’s take it to the hotel” is nothing short of brilliant.

The other previously released song, “Personal Space” flips the notion of closeness and clinginess in relationships on its head. Instead of pulling away from affection, Stone sings about wanting her partner to be as close as possible. In the flirty and cheeky song, she revels about that desirable sense of closeness.

“I want to show you all, my favorite records / Hang out with you in my, old navy sweatshirt /
If I’m being honest, I’m never thins honest / So ask me my biggest secret / Baby I know you’ll keep it”

The record continues with the title track, “Princess”. Stone makes references to Disney princesses in the first verse and ways they could have solved their predicaments. Contrary to what others may think, Stone has no desire to be anyone’s princess or find ‘a white knight’. The jam focuses on female empowerment and independence in such an enticing and thought-provoking way.

“If you’re looking for a white knight honey good luck finding one /
If you lose your shoe at midnight, baby girl you’re probably drunk”

Continuing with her truthful and honest narrative, “Kids These Days” is clearly written from her perspective, as she, talks about all the ways that her generation is still learning and evolving, as well as, all the issues we may encounter. Each verse explores the depths of growing up a little bit further, helping to secure “Kids These Days” as one of the standouts on the record.

“Never going to grow / No, we ain’t ever going to change / Maybe we’re old, but so what /
Every generation’s the same / We’re just kids, these days / Kids these days”

Finally, the record ends with a much needed soft spot, a ballad entitled “Out Of My Hands.” The heart-wrenching break-up song shows that although confident and independent, Stone is human, and feels the hurt, anguish, and emotions that we all do. “Out Of My Hands” explores the notion that we can often control so much in our lives; however, we cannot control another person nor can we control their actions. Her prowess as a songwriter is at an all-time high in this shining track, but it is her vocals that are top-notch.

Princess leaves you wanting more in the best possible way. Stone pours her heart out for listeners and creates a story that makes you want to hear more. We are big fans of her, and we know you will be too after you listen to this project!

Garrett Jacobs Celebrates “Young Love” In Fun New Song

/in , /by

Young Love Garrett Jacobs

Rising country singer Garrett Jacobs has just dropped his new summer-ready single, “Young Love.” And, let’s just say— it’s a big-time BOP.

The feel-good jam captures the innocence and bliss of being in love, as writers Jacobs, Jason Massey, and Michael Whitworth use the transitional post-high school to college transition as a narrative backdrop. Production-wise, this uptempo tune leans more on the country-pop side with its drums, guitar and snaps, with the mandolin in the verses giving it a nice country touch.

“You love and you learn / you go wild you get hurt / you heal and you grow but you never forget those / first times and time wasted, red lights and hearts racing / top down on the GTO, JT on the radio,” Jacobs sings on this fun anthem, as he reminisces the beauty of young love.

Last year, the Louisiana native was a featured artist on CMT’s Artist Discovery program, with the music video for “Just Like You” debuting at No. 5 on CMT’s 12 Pack Countdown show and he is currently in the studio working on even more new music.

We’re not sure about you, but we for one are adding this to our list of summer and feel-good jams, and can’t wait for more music from this promising 20-year-old!

NYCS First Impression: Avenue Beat ‘the quarantine covers’

/in , /by

Avenue Beat Quarantine Covers

STREAM IT HERE

Our favorite new girl group, Avenue Beat is combatting the craziness of quarantine and the pandemic by giving us a fun new project to listen to, following the recent release of their newest original “thank you anxiety”. The talented trio recorded five of their favorite songs, adding their own flair and insane harmonies to each track in a project they are calling the quarantine covers.

Besides the fact that the three singers, Sami, Savana, and Sam are all extremely talented vocalists and songwriters, this record stands out for its unique influences. Each of the five songs that Avenue Beat chose to cover were originally recorded by artists from all different genres and eras of music. Moreover, the ladies took it back to their roots, singing and recording covers, a skill that put them on the map.

After a quick intro, the record kicks off with an enticing cover of hip-hop artist, Doja Cat’s “Say So.” Sami, Savana, and Sam turn the usually upbeat song into a touching and emotive acoustic song, which perfectly embodies their unique artistry. They refer to their rendition as a “Norah Jones” inspired tune on their Instagram. The next song, “Video” was originally recorded by Grammy-winner India Arie, a soul and pop artist. Both tracks feature Avenue Beat’s style, but “Video” seems to be a song that the trio could have written themselves. Their version, though stripped down, keeps with the authenticity of the original, giving off that soulful flair.

The next two songs on the project might be the most recognizable. The first is John Mayer’s “New Light.” The acoustic cover pays homage to the almost psychedelic rhythm of the original. Of course, the ladies also include a stunning cover of Tim McGraw’s “Humble And Kind,” a cover that they originally premiered on their Instagram. Some may also recognize this song as prolific songwriter, Lori McKenna’s iconic solo write. Their harmonies add an incredibly divine twist to the brilliant track.

Finally, the records wraps with the last song, “Just The Two Of Us.” The song is a classic 80s track written and recorded by both Bill Withers and Grover Washington Jr.  Avenue Beat completely reinvent the song, while still keeping with the integrity of the original. Once again their ability to make listeners feel like a classic song is their own is truly unmatched.

As if it wasn’t perfect enough, Avenue Beat also include an “Outro” to formally end their fun and quirky project. The ending is 40 seconds of The Beatles infamous song “All You Need is Love,” which is the perfect reminder in these crazy times.

Kane Brown "Cool Again" Lyrics

Thursday (Apr 23.), Kane Brown released a brand new song, “Cool Again” and it’s headed straight for country radio. Check out a review of the track and all of the details here. Follow along with the full lyrics below:

KANE BROWN – “Cool Again” Lyrics

I’ve been thinkin’ about ya lately
Reminiscin’, going crazy
Miss the way your kiss would keep me up

Hey, wish that you were here tonight
Drinkin’ vodka soda, extra limes
And we could just get back to being us

‘Cause I just wanna be cool again, cool again, cool again
Like we were last summer
Want you again, you again, you again
To be stealin’ my covers
All tangled in each other, nights still playin’ back in my head
I just wanna be cool again, cool again, cool again, yeah

Do you ever think about
The days we couldn’t live without each other
Where the hell did we go wrong

Hey, how’d we go from that to this
How’d we let a good thing slip
Do we really have to go move on

Kane Brown Drops New Song, “Cool Again”

/in , /by

cool again

Well, one thing that quarantine hasn’t canceled is Kane Brown. The artist has kept in contact with fans by maintaining that bond between song and listener, performing virtually on ACM: Our Country that aired on April 5, utilizing Instagram Live sessions and being active on all social media outlets. “Last Time I Say Sorry” was released, featuring John Legend, just four weeks ago. Now, another new single is out, and it speaks for everyone who just wants to be cool again. It’s a perfect set of words to hear during this time where the form of the world has meshed into an unrecognizable ball. Still, this one is lighthearted and creates a sense of a good-feeling summer from our living rooms.

“We wrote ‘Cool Again’ at a writing retreat when it was about 20 degrees outside,” Brown said in a press release. “At the time, it was about missing warm weather, but then it became so much more. It made us think about all the amazing memories of summer. We were really wanting to go back to that. I think that’s something people can really relate to in their own lives, especially right now.”

“’Cause I just wanna be cool again, cool again, cool again / Like we were last summer / Want you again, you again, you again / To be stealin’ my covers / All tangled in each other, nights still playin’ back in my head / I just wanna be cool again, cool again, cool again, yeah”

Brown showcases his versatile artistry in each production. “What Ifs” with Lauren Alaina and “Heaven” were the first #1 hits from this Tennessee native, displaying that variety was mastered from the beginning. In a similar sense, the last two projects have highlighted the ability of the musician to sing from the heart in one song and drop a beat in another.

Riley Green Sings About What He’s Learned In “Better Than Me”

/in , /by

Despite the craziness and uncertainty of these current times, one thing is for certain, music and creativity always prevail. Rising artist, Riley Green joins the likes of many other artists across genres, who are using this time to reconnect with themselves, their loved ones, and of course, writing music. He premiered a new song about his experiences via his Instagram earlier today called “Better Than Me.”

The new song is an honest and emotive track seemingly about Green’s experiences in quarantine. He acknowledges all the changes that have occurred since he has been home, as well as, what he has learned from slowing down. Like all of us, Green feels the intense weirdness around all the changes that have taken place because of this pandemic, but he also feels the benefits of slowing down and appreciating every moment.

 

“Is the world on fire / Feels like a bad dream / Did the hammer come down / Feels like a kick in the teeth / This down on my luck, has been getting me down on my knees / Might have been something I need / Because I’ve been chasing, rat-racing / Doing anything to win / My grass looks like Augusta / And I got around to painting that fence / Been calling up my mama / Doing some old friend checking in / It seems like where I’m going might be better than where I’ve been / With all this going on / Found the right in all his wrong and I finally see / The good Lord knows better than me”

Green leans on his faith during this time and has given way to the notion that God must know better than him about what is to come. In other words, take each day one step at a time, find the goodness and positive in each moment, and remember that there is a purpose and a reason for everything. As always, we will get through these times stronger and more resilient than before, and of course, music will always be here for us.

Thomas Rhett Thanks God in New Song, “Ya Heard”

/in , /by

Thomas Rhett Ya Heard

One of the only things that are still keeping our spirits up at this time is artists continuing to release new music. Whether they play it sitting at home on their couch on a live stream or artists that are going ahead with their release dates on streaming platforms that were previously recorded, we can look to music right now as a comfort.

 

Thomas Rhett who has been quarantined with his wife Lauren, and three daughters, including a newborn has taken time to sing a new song, “Ya Heard” for his social media following. Rhett has a way of including personal details in his biggest hits but fans always resonate and make each line of the songs relate to their own lives. “Ya Heard” has a similar story to one of Garth Brooks’ biggest hits of all time, “Unanswered Prayers”.

“There’s been times where I thought that my prayers never made it past the ceiling, much less the sky and I’ve had doubts and questions about my faith but I don’t really even know why or how”

Rhett sings about three crucial facets of his life, marrying the love of his life Lauren, becoming a hit songwriter and artist and finally having the family he longed for. Each verse he looks at his life and is sure that God heard his prayers. The final verse, focusing on infertility and their story of adopting Willa Gray then finding out they were pregnant with Ada James is so personal but culminates in the most beautiful ending.

“People say you’ve got a way of being pretty funny while you make us wait, cause I look at these babies crawling up on me, the ones that I bothered you about since I was 23, ya I know that I wasn’t wasting breath or words cause I look at them and I look at her, more than I deserve yeah I’m pretty sure ya heard”

If artists continue to release new music, we will continue to love it and support it. Check out this new one by Luke Combs, “Six Feet Apart” and Rhett’s collaboration “Be A Light” where proceeds are donated to COVID-19 relief.

Harper Grae Releases “Best For You” Along with Adorable Proposal Video

/in , /by

Harper Grae Best For You

Harper Grae is in love.

Born Shanna Henderson in Montgomery, Alabama, Grae first danced into the spotlight after landing a spot on The Glee Project, a reality show combined talent competition produced by the creators of Glee, after auditioning for Ryan Murphy. She moved to Los Angeles and sang prominent pop songs before being eliminated nine weeks in. Shortly after, the female powerhouse moved to Nashville and released debut album Break Your Crowns, emotionally-stricken, autobiographical about the singer’s hardships during childhood Buck Moon Medleys, love designated “Wanna Wear A Dress” and latest love song released this April “Best For You.”

“Best For You” is everything you could ask for in a love song. Grae’s delicate vocal competence complements the elegance of the ebony and ivory. Its acoustic label stands embossed as she sings that she has saved her very best for you.

The debut of the single coincides with a homemade proposal video of the songstress proposing to her girlfriend and her soon-to-be stepdaughter, at home, after a change of plans due to the coronavirus. The proposal was planned to take place after Grae completed the St. Jude Rock ‘n’ Roll Nashville Marathon scheduled for the end of April. She stated, “Once it was apparent COVID-19 was going to continue to shake things up for the world, I knew I wanted to get creative and plan something special for us at home.”

The country singer + songwriter shared the news of her engagement on her Instagram shortly after releasing her latest single saying, “A quarantine proposal – Best For You. I made this video to put a bright spot in y’alls day during this crazy time. Here’s a glimpse of our story to a song I wrote shortly after falling in love. PS I’M ENGAGED. Ring: @shanecompany // Co-writers @lenastonemusic & @cdwprod // Favorite Nashville spot @hocnashville // LOML: @dawn_gates #aislegowithgates // Artwork @natalieroseart // Homemade video: Me.”

Who Is Teddy Robb? The Story Behind His Journey to Country Music

/in , , /by

Who is Teddy Robb? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about his journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

Teddy Robb EP

The Beginning:

Since we named Teddy Robb one of our 2019 Artists To Watch and featured him as a Swag Spotlight back in 2018, it seems he has blossomed into a rising star just before our eyes. Over the last couple of years, Robb has garnered a fanbase of loyal fans and continues to gain more and more momentum. Today, he released his highly anticipated self-titled debut EP.

Although the record features four previously released songs and only one new track, the EP is the perfect mix of songs to personify Robb’s talent, charisma, and personality. Beginning with the newest released single, “Me On You,” the country crooner sings about the power of love and its similarity to an addiction. The ambiguity within the lyrics is both enticing and captivating, everything a good song should be. The consistent drums only add to the stylized track.

The Turning Point:

Robb continues to showcase his brand of country music with a new track entitled “Good Love and Good Whiskey.” The flirtatious song is the perfect addition to the singer’s catalog. Robb compares good love to good alcohol in the new song. The feel-good track is begging for a catchy and clever music video to accompany it.

“What kinda fool leaves his top-shelf sitting on ice / Watch 90 proof lose its smooth / Baby that just ain’t right / Same kinda guy who brings his girl to the bar with guys like me around / Who knows good love and good whiskey ain’t good watered down”

Today:

Of course, the self-titled project also features the songs that put Robb on the map, including “Lead Me On,” “Tell Me How,” and “Really Shouldn’t Drink Around You.” The first is arguably one of the best on the project. “Lead Me On,” his debut single, is a song about a clever narrative in that push-pull type of relationship. Despite the repercussions, the gravitational pull is too strong to deny. In the same vein, “Really Shouldn’t Drink Around You” admits that drinking around an ex is not the best idea, but remains weak to that notion. Written by top wordsmiths, Shane McAnally, Trevor Rosen, and Joshua Osborne, the song is definitely a standout track.

“You say that we can be friends / But, hey, let’s be honest / There ain’t really no such thing / As gin and platonic”

On the other hand, “Tell Me How” is the lone, somber ballad off the project. A necessary departure from the other tunes, Robb lays his heart out on the line for fans, with his vocals, and with his songwriting. The break-up track explains how difficult coping with heartache can be, as Robb begs an ex to show him how to get over her. This song proves that the singer shines just as bright on emotive and intricate songs, and we hope for more songs like this one on a future full-length project.

To keep up with Teddy Robb follow him on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

  1. “Tell Me How”

  3. “Lead Me On”
