Ahead of his Body Language Deluxe Album, due out December 3rd, today, Blake Shelton dropped a brand new track titled “Come Back As A Country Boy.” The Oklahoma-raised superstar doubles down on being a good ole country boy on the fun new song.
With a vibe similar to his smash hit “God’s Country,” the new song is sure to entice fans. Shelton leans into all the stereotypes of country-living, showcasing his undeniable pride for the way he was raised in each lyric he sings. “Come Back As A Country Boy” is a true anthem for the country way of life.
“When I die, I wanna come back as a country boy // No there ain’t no better life if you ask me // If my neck don’t come out red, then lord just keep me dead // Cause a country boy is all I know how to be”
The track is a true declaration for hard-working people. The single, written by HARDY, Josh Thompson and Jordan Schmidt will be included as one of four brand new tracks of the deluxe version of Shelton’s Body Language. The record will be released on December 3rd.

Justin Moore’s new song, “With A Woman You Love” is out today, October 1st, on all streaming platforms. Learn more about the brand new track below.
On the heels of his tenth number one single, “We Didn’t Have Much,” Justin Moore returns with a brand new song. Today, the singer-songwriter drops a fun-loving and romantic song titled “With A Woman You Love.”
In true-blue, Moore fashion, the singer shows off his country twang and his passion for music. “With A Woman You Love” is a song all about everything being better and changing when you have a lady by your side. There is something about the old-adage and theme in country music that will always make us swoon. Moore does a great job delivering the track in a fresh and innovative way. Not to mention, the song is definitely primed for the stage.
“With a woman you love, you’ll get home at a decent hour // Don’t need to look no more // Because you finally found her // But forever jusst ain’t long enough with a woman you love”
Moore speaks directly to all the men who think they are “too manly” or a little bit too wild to do the little things for your girl, like holding her bag. He declares that this all changes, when you are with a woman you love. We think he is right! Listen to the brand new track below.

Dylan Scott’s new song “Static” is available everywhere today, October 1st. The song marks his second new release as he gears up for a future project.
As his recent summer release and current radio single, “New Truck”, climbs the charts, Dylan Scott dropped another brand new track, “Static”, out today. With promises of a new full length album coming soon, “Static” and “New Truck” are the first taste of what fans can expect to hear on the future project. In an exclusive interview with us this past summer, Scott shared, “We did a lot of writing and recording during quarantine. It’s more of what I’ve done in the past, but at a more mature level and I think the lyrics reflect that”.
Learn some fast facts about the singer-songwriter in our ’60 Seconds with Dylan Scott’ video below.
About the song, Scott says that “”Static” is a song that relates to a lot of people’s lives, including mine, to a T. You grow up in a small town, and all you can think about is leaving that small town, chasing a dream, chasing a dollar, moving to a bigger city. And once you get there, it’s all great. But sometimes you’ve just got to get back out in the middle of nowhere, back to your roots, where there’s nothing but a little static on the radio.”
“There’s something “’bout a red dirt road that makes the sky more blue // there’s something ‘bout the concrete that scrapes the roots right off of you // I moved here ‘cause making dollars made good sense // something ‘bout them city limits feels more like a fence, yeah”
The new song is about taking a break from the fast-paced city life, getting back to your roots and finding a spot where you can clear your head for a while, relax and reconnect with yourself.
“Shake all the dust out of my head // Put it on this truck instead // Toss some empties in the bed, out where nobody knows // You can find me where you can’t // No one near, no where to stay // Turn down a road I know to take that’s gonna save my soul // Crank up and gas it til’ there’s static on the radio”

We chatted with country singer-songwriter Logan Mize about his new album, Welcome To Prairieville, out this Friday, October 1st. Here are five things to expect from the project.
The project has been 10 years in the making.
“This album is more of a themed album… there’s probably 60+ songs that were written for this project and there’s storylines that I completely scrapped… it became bigger than the town. It was 10 years of me developing my writing style.”
When writing the opening track “George Strait Songs”, Mize knew it was the perfect opening track.
“I left Nashville four years ago and moved back to central Kansas… I loved the idea of ‘there’s still a little bit of America left in America’ as an opening line. Once the song was done and I could hear it, it felt like it had to be the opening.”
The first song written for the project was the title track, “Welcome to Prairieville”
“I wrote that song back in 2011. That one is 10 years old… it was like, let’s start with the town.”
“It’s About Time”, the closing track, is a solo-write by Mize.
“”It’s About Time” was written in one of the final hours, and it kind of fell out and I just knew it belonged on the project.”
“I Need Mike” is the only song Mize didn’t write for the project, and there’s a reason for that.
“Blake Chaffin, who wrote almost every song with me, we both brought stacks of songs to this project. When we were sitting around going through songs, and I asked him “if you were to pick one of your solo writes which would it be?” And this was his.”
Logan Mize’s new album, ‘Welcome To Prairieville’ comes out this Friday, October 1st.

We chatted with country singer-songwriter Lily Rose about her new EP, Stronger Than I Am, out this Friday, October 1st. Here are five things to expect from the project.
Lily Rose’s journey to release this new EP has been quite the whirlwind.
“To put in to perspective, 365 days ago I did not have TikTok,” shares the singer-songwriter, adding “It’s insane what’s happened in the last 9.5 months, let alone, the last 11 months.”
The seven songs were carefully chosen, so that Rose could fill a setlist to be able to perform for fans.
“It’s really special that all these songs I’ve been playing live and if you’ve been to a show, people have heard these already. So what I’m excited about is to see the growth of the songs and see people sing them back.”
Rose’s hit “Villain” started the trajectory of songs and themes of relatability in her story-telling EP.
“All of them have a really cool way of saying ‘I’m heartbroken’ or ‘I need to get over you’ or ‘I haven’t gotten over you,’ just so many ways in country music that this topic is done over and over again, and we found titles and hooks or we wrote titles and hooks in ways that have never been done before in country music.”
Although Rose loves every song on the project, the title track “Stronger Than I Am” is a standout to her.
“I feel like the “Villain” chapter of the last ten months is turning into the “Stronger Than I Am” chapter. There’s a reason that, that song is the title track. That song stands above the others. I think it’s really one of the best written country songs that I’ve heard in a long time.”
Finally, Rose shared with us how proud she is to finally release this type of music to the world, laced with all of her vast influences across genres.
“This is the music I’ve been trying to make over the last eight years.”
Lily Rose’s new EP, ‘Stronger Than I Am’ comes out this Friday, October 1st.

Here are five new female country music artists that you should be paying attention to as they establish themselves in the genre.
Country music is ever-growing and it’s sound is ever-changing. These five female artists are among the many fresh faces that are helping grow country music with their own unique flavor. We’re excited about what these ladies have done so far and what they will go on to do and we think you should be paying attention to them as they continue to pave their paths.
Ashley Cooke
Listen: “Jealous of the Sky”
Ashley Cooke is currently enjoying an incredible breakout year as an independent artist. We were first introduced to the budding star with the release of her debut single “Jealous of the Sky” in October of 2020, followed by “Sunday Morning Kinda Saturday Night”. The ladder debuted #1 on the iTunes Country Chart and #15 all-genre. Cooke added to the new music with her debut EP, ‘Already Drank That Beer – Side A’, recently released on August 27th. Cooke is a Tiktok success story. In fact, back in April she celebrated one year of her very first video that went on to receive over two million views and sent her into the public eye with a massive following. Check out the video here. Cooke moved to Nashville when she was 18 to attend Belmont University and has since co-created The 615 House, a collab house in Nashville created as a result of the pandemic for country singers and songwriters to create content, build fan-bases, and collaborate with other like-minded young new talent.
Tenille Arts, alongside the remainder of the women on this list, were each named one of ten female artists in CMT’s Next Women of Country Class of 2021. Arts, born and raised in Canada, first caught attention when she appeared on The Bachelor in 2018, which resulted in a record deal with the indie label, Reviver Records. Her second appearance on the show came a year later when she performed her song “I Hate This”, which hit #1 on the US and Canadian iTunes Country Charts and #9 on US iTunes all-genre. Her third appearance on The Bachelor came just before she released her latest album Love, Heartbreak, and Everything In Between. Arts landed her very first number one song earlier this year with “Somebody Like That” and fans can look forward to brand new music from the singer-songwriter from her upcoming album, Girl to Girl, due out October 22nd.
Signed with Big Loud Records, MacKenzie Porter is experiencing rising success after two years of releasing music including her EP: Drinkin’ Songs: The Collection, which includes popular singles like “The One”, “Drinkin’ Songs”, and “These Days”. Porter also collaborated with Dustin Lynch earlier this year on their current fast-rising single “Thinking ‘Bout You”. The Canadian-native moved to Nashville in 2014. Since then she has collaborated with many well-known songwriters. She has shared the stage with some of the biggest in the business including Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Blake Shelton, Chris Lane, and Dallas Smith. We featured Porter in a spotlight interview late last year and you can check it out to learn more about her journey to country music here.
Harper Grae, an Alabama-native, made waves with a song she released earlier this year called, “Still Your Mother.” It is a beautiful song that pulls on the heart strings about mothers who have either suffered a miscarriage or are the mothers of what Grae likes to call ‘rainbow babies’. Personal to her own story, Grae received a much-deserved overwhelming response for mothers that have used this song as their own therapy, much like Grae did for herself. Grae released her debut album, Break Your Crowns, in 2017, and since then has released singles like “Monster” (2018), “Bloodline” (2018), “Muddy Water” (2020), “Best For You” (2020), and “Caviar and Bars” (2021). She has been named one of CMT’s “Five LGBTQ and Americana Artists You Need to Know” and received a 2020 GLAAD award for Rising Country Star.
A Baltimore native, Brittney Spencer made her way to Nashville in 2013 to follow her dreams of becoming a singer-songwriter. She has toured and performed as a background singer for Carrie Underwood and just recently kick-started her own musical career late last year when she released her 4-song debut EP Compassion in December of 2020. Kicking off the new year, Spencer sang on Common Hymnal’s Christian Album Praise and Protest singing “Thoughts and Prayers” with Brock Human. Most recently, she released her latest single, “Skinny & Sober”. Spencer received a shoutout from Maren Morris at the 2020 ACM Awards when she accepted her award for Female Vocalist of the Year and from Mickey Guyton back in April during ACM promotions and a segment “Country Music Looks Like”.

Although it’s only September, country music’s queen, Carrie Underwood put us in the holiday spirit today (September 24) with the release of the deluxe version of her Christmas album, My Gift. Check out our full review and listen to the brand new music below.
Underwood has proved she is a superstar in any genre, recording number-one songs and albums in country, pop, Christian, and holiday. My Gift debuted #1 across multiple global charts and remained at #1 on the Christian album chart 11 weeks after it was released. It consistently remained in the Top 5 throughout the 2020 holiday season, and even hit #5 on the all-genre Billboard Top 200. She plans on continuing this success with the release of this special edition project.
The new version adds “Favorite Time of Year”, which was actually released last year, but only available to Amazon Music subscribers. Underwood performed it during her HBO Max holiday special last holiday season. It’s a fun, up-tempo jingle in which she expresses why Christmas is her favorite time of the year. She loves the decorations, the snow, holidays movies, cinnamon and sugar cookies, and of course, the wishes that turned into presents under the tree.
“Love pouring out like the snow from the sky // Snuggled up together sitting by the fire // Oh, it’s magical, it’s my favorite time // Pretty little wishes tied up in a bow // And every little kiss is like we’re underneath the mistletoe // It’s music to my ears // Christmas is my favorite time of year”
Another new track, “All Is Well” is a brand-new gospel song written by Michael W. Smith and Wayne Kirkpatrick. Although there is only three verses total, the song is almost 4 minutes long, as Underwood lets her voice shine, extending notes beautifully.
The album concludes with the live recordings of “Let There Be Peace” and “Something In The Water.”
Between Christmas albums, Underwood released her debut gospel album, My Savior in March, which went to number one on the Christian Albums chart. It’s now been over three years since she released her last country album, Cry Pretty, which came out on September 14, 2018. She has released singles with Jason Aldean and Dan + Shay, however—“If I Didn’t Love You” and “Only Us” for the new movie, Dear Evan Hansen, respectively.

RaeLynn’s brand new record Baytown is officially available now, September 24th on all streaming platforms. Check out our full review and listen to the brand new music below.
Back in August of last year, we continuously praised RaeLynn’s Baytown EP.The six song project perfectly showcased the singer-songwriter’s confidence, clever wordplay, and amazing vocals like no other project had before. Today, the new mom expands on that collection of songs with the official Baytown album, out now.
The record features fourteen tracks in total. Previously released songs like “Keep Up,” “Judgin’ To Jesus,” and “Bra Off” anchor the project with the sassy and fiery tunes we have come to love from the songstress. Similarly, RaeLynn’s new collaborative song with Mitchell Tenpenny “Get That All The Time” further exhibits her flirty personality.
“I know that you could have anyone in here tonight // But you’d be better off mine // I bet you get that all the time // All the time // You’re probably getting pretty used to me // I bet you memorize the lines // And this ain’t nothing new to ya”
RaeLynn also collaborates with country superstar, Blake Shelton on “Why I Got A Truck.” The new song centers around the singer’s country upbringing and the importance of a truck in her life. Although a truck is a familiar focal point on many country songs, the singers portray the subject in a new and girl-power-like light.
XX
“Rowdy” is another fun new song off the new record. Once again, RaeLynn leans into her country, Texan roots. Singing lyrics, like “I get rowdy, I get mouthy,” the songstress is unapologetic about her upbringing. “Only In A Small Town” shares the sentiment of pride for her hometown in a humorous way.
“Only in a small town does your ex get locked up and knocked up your best girl friend // Spending every bit of my $10.25 an hour to throw a shower // Hell, only in a small town”
Despite the fact that Baytown is full of sassy hits, it is also the home to many vulnerable songs by the rising artist. While the touching ballad “Fake Girl Town” sheds a much needed light on the detrimental culture that exists between girls, “Small Town Prayer” reminds us all of the importance of hope, faith, and community.
“It all sounds simple coming off our lips // Cause we’re so little // and he’s so big // can’t find it in a bible // but Lord I swear, nothing hits heaven like a small town prayer”
RaeLynn continues to let fans into her heart on songs like “Me About Me” and “She Chose Me.” The former is a full-fledged confession about the details of a break-up and a one-sided relationship. The heartbreakingly stunning mid-tempo song conveys a type of honesty that we only get from country music. The latter is an incredibly honest story about a woman getting pregnant and keeping the baby, written from the perspective of the child that was born. RaeLynn calls it the prequel to her song “Love Triangle.”
“That’s one hell of a choice to make // If it went the other way, nobody would have blamed her // Think of all the small town talk it would have saved her // She could’ve chosen one quick fix // To get her out of one big mess / She could have tied a different ribbon to the ending of the story”
XX
The record ends with “Made For Me To Love (Demo).” The song is clearly a personal one to the singer. It tells the story of her getting pregnant with her daughter Daisy Rae, who was born earlier this month. Arguable the most poignant RaeLynn song to date, it is the perfect way to end the exquisite full-length album.
