Lakelin Lemmings’ self-titled debut album, Lakelin Lemmings is out now, July 24th on all streaming platforms. Take a listen and read our full review below.
For Lakelin Lemmings, her debut album is the perfect time capsule. It manages to capture all the confusion and possibility of young adulthood, a clear snapshot of a singer caught between her teenage years and adulthood. On her debut, she encapsulates the feelings of first love and first loss, broken hearts, grappling with her faith, small town living, and everything in between.
Lemmings co-wrote 15 of the album’s 16 tracks, evidenced through the Tennessee native’s heartfelt delivery. Released via Quartz Hill Records, the debut takes listeners on a journey that’s straight from the pages of the 20-year-old’s journal. While her voice has the breezy warmth and approachability of country’s most beloved 90s icons, her songwriting prowess hearkens back to the early authenticity of a young Taylor Swift or Kelsea Ballerini.
The album opens with “American Dreamin’,” an irresistible introduction that establishes the themes woven throughout the record. Celebrating family, faith, and her rural upbringing, Lemmings sings with pride about the values that shaped her, creating an instantly relatable portrait of small-town America.
“Hometown touchdown Friday, Daddy’s girl raised up the right way // Four wheels flyin’ down the highway, // Look out world, here I come // Born country always gonna be it, Good book you bet I believe it // Red, white, and blue sky reachin’, Small town American dreamin’”
On “Bad Boy Good” and “There Goes the Cowboy,” she finds herself irresistibly drawn to men she knows are trouble, but can’t resist. The former cleverly admits, “I need a man, I don’t need a mission,” while the latter captures the frustration of someone who continually rides in and out of her life.
Despite her young age, it’s clear Lemmings has endured her fair share of heartbreak, reflected on songs like “I Remember Us,” “I’m Over You,” and “Get Around Boy.” While “Remember” finds her longing for the past, “Over You” is a swooning country waltz that finds her in denial as she tries to move on.
“I’m doin’ better since you’ve been gone// I’ve got it together, already moved on// The past is the past and taking you back// Boy that ain’t something that I’d ever do //Fires don’t burn and I’m over you”
Meanwhile, “Break Up Songs” offers one of the album’s most clever lyrics. With its steel guitars and 90s influences, she namedrops famous song titles, before finally leaning into the healing power of heartbreak. “Who wants to hear about a bad goodbye?” she asks, voice laced with emotion.
Likewise, “Get Around Boy” offers a refreshing twist on the traditional breakup song. It’s a swinging uptempo about a high school love who was destined to stay, while she was destined to leave. Despite that, she keeps him with her wherever she travels, creating one of the album’s most beautifully bittersweet moments.
“On a beach out in California// In my jeep passing through Sedona, // Florida Keys you wouldn’t believe // All the roads that you’ve been down boy, // From New England to Mississippi // You’re always right here with me // For someone who said they’d never leave that Tennessee town // You sure get around boy”
While there’s heartache on the LP, there’s also spunk and self-assurance. “He Ain’t Coming Back” offers one of the collection’s sassiest moments, driving guitars punctuating her moving on from an ex. Meanwhile, “Tell Me More” and “What Are We Doing” find her looking to find her place in a relationship, sometimes falling prey to a man who says all the right things.
It’s not all romance and broken hearts on her debut project. “Parking Lot” affectionately captures the simplicity of small-town teenage life, while “Life of Mine” celebrates her faith in God and her happiness in life. It borrows inspiration from the classic hymn “This Little Light of Mine” to create a joyful celebration of gratitude and belief. “I Drive a Truck” showcases another side of Lemmings, balancing her girly side with grit as she proudly proclaims, “Six days a week, I’m boots over heels.”
Two of the album’s most spectacular and poignant moments come in the most vulnerable: “I Ain’t for Everybody” and “19 and Single.” On the former, she realizes that she doesn’t need acceptance from everyone, but will one day find it from one special person. “I may not be for everybody,” she admits. “But for somebody I’m the one.”
Similarly, “19 and Single” turns insecurity into empowerment as she realizes that there’s nothing wrong with being single. While she grapples with being “19 and Single,” the track is a lesson in trust and timing for women of all ages struggling with their singledom.
The album concludes with “Keep the Faith,” the only song on the album not written by Lemmings. “I mostly write my own songs, but when ‘Keep the Faith’ was pitched to me, I fell in love with the song because it has such a powerful message,” shares Lemmings in a statement. “It spoke to my own Christian faith and my belief that when days are hard, you’ve just got to keep on praying, keep on believing and keep on going. With everything that’s currently happening in the world, no matter what your religious or political beliefs are, we all need to keep the faith right now.”
For Lakelin Lemmings, her debut project is raw, personal, and full of potential. She invites listeners in, opens up, and enraptures them for sixteen powerful songs that are sure to make her a superstar.

Rising singer-songwriter Waylon Wyatt is officially releasing his highly anticipated debut album, Dustpiles.

The album’s title track serves as the emotional centerpiece of the record, tracing the journey from heartbreak and uncertainty to finding the person you’re meant to grow old with; however, each song speaks to how incredible the record truly is. “My debut album, Dustpiles, recollects the emotions I’d say most feel through love,” Wyatt shared in a recent press release. “The biggest factor, though, is the ending title track called ‘Dustpiles.’ It’s a witty way of referring to how love should be but in a darker manner: finding that special someone who you are so close and secure, and in the end the two of you ultimately become two piles of dust.”
With Dustpiles, Wyatt offers a raw and thoughtful debut that showcases both his songwriting maturity and his ability to capture the complexities of love and loss. Make sure to give it a listen!

Frank Ray’s new EP, Good For The Soul is out now, June 26th on all streaming platforms. Take a listen and read our full review below.
With a breezy 90s inspired style and ear-catching lyrics, country newcomer Frank Ray is back with his new EP, Good for the Soul. The five song collection is the follow up to 2023’s homage to his Mexican heritage, Raíces (Así Se Hace).
For the BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville recording artist, the EP pairs him with well-known songwriters and a modern country twang that perfectly meets a more vintage sound. Featuring songs penned by the likes of Seth Ennis, Ben Hayslip, Trannie Anderson, and more, there’s something for everyone on the EP.
“I’m so excited for everyone to hear my new EP, Good For The Soul. This project is a direct reflection of both my love for ’90s country music and where my life is at right now,” He shared in a statement. “Every song tells a piece of that story. I’m incredibly grateful to my amazing collaborators and producers whose creativity and support helped bring this project to life.”
While the collection’s title track is also its closing moment, it perfectly sums up the EP. Featuring a guest appearance from country legend Tracy Lawrence, it’s a romping 90’s inspired country ode to all of the things that are good for the soul. It’s an immediate mood lifter, buoyant and uptempo.
Meanwhile, the EP’s opener, “One Way to Do It,” is a bonafide radio-ready anthem, pairing the mistakes of heartbreak with driving pop country. It’s the perfect follow up to the previously-released “Country’d Look Good on You,” proving that Ray can both appeal to current and classic country fans.
There’s “Third Row George Strait,” a nostalgic ode to young love, first realized at the troubadour’s concert. “After sitting with the demo for a while and stacking new songs, I started drifting away from this song. Not because it wasn’t great, I just hadn’t made it mine yet,” Ray reveals. “But after working on it with my producer a bit more, everything clicked. Now I can’t stop playing the song and I hope it hits fans the same way it hit me the first and second time around – it’s kind of like falling in love with your someone all over again.”
For the hit-making former police officer, “Hard to Be a Hero” offers an especially poignant moment, finding him grappling with the double standard that often comes with that role in the world today. On the song, which he co-wrote, Ray explores things that happen in the line of duty or on the battlefield, before ultimately turning to his faith. “It’s easy to stand in the shadows,” he admits. “It’s hard to find reasons to put on the cape…It’s hard to be a hero these days.”
Likewise, on the other co-write, “Lookin’ Out For Me,” Ray finds him thanking his better angels for the fact that someone is always looking out for him. Here, he thanks his lucky stars for the woman he ended up with, thanking God for bringing her to him. “You’re like a pourin’ rain in the desert, I swear you’re changin’ me for the better,” He sings passionately, “It’s like He knew I needed you, Just like the truth in those old red letters…Somebody’s lookin’ out for me.”
On his new EP, Good for the Soul, Frank Ray pairs nostalgic country hooks with poignant lyrics. From the opening chords of “One Way to Do It” to the closing notes of “Good for the Soul,” there’s something for everyone on the new EP.
