[Interview] Tenille Townes Is Unshakeable in “Girl Who Didn’t Care” Music Video

/in , , /by

Tenille Townes released an empowering new video for her latest song, “Girl Who Didn’t Care”. Check it out below and learn more in our exclusive interview.

Tenille Townes’ new track, “Girl Who Didn’t Care” is a characteristically “Tenille” song: amazing acoustic guitar, lyrics you can instantly relate to, and vocals so distinct you could recognize Townes from anywhere. The video is no exception.

A direct reflection of the song, Townes encourages girls to chase their dreams with the help of astrology student Alyssa Carson, goalie and sports student Sarah Fuller, and firefighter Sharon Wells. The three women have done everything from make football history to being community heroes.

Leading up to the release of the song, Townes posted an Instagram video of herself at age 9 where she shared with the camera that after graduation, she will “be a famous country singer”. When asked what she’d tell that little girl now in our interview, she shared, “I’d say thank you to her for believing in that dream at that point, and seeing that it was entirely possible. I would not get to be here doing the thing I love now without her feisty little courage that has carried and pushed through to this point.”

In the video, there are four young actresses portraying Townes, Carson, Fuller, and Wells, who are chasing their dreams headfirst, curiously and unapologetically. As they grow up, they continue to pursue a version of what they always wanted to be by not caring and marching to the beat of their own drum.

“It’s kind of surreal to think about it. I think when you dream about some things, and you see the outline of it, you see what you think it’s gonna look or feel like, and to see it colored in real life… it’s got so much more dimension and emotion than I’d ever had wrapped my head around. I’d tell [that little girl] it’s even more awesome than she imagines it is,” Townes tells us.

Cole Swindell’s “Single Saturday Night” Earns Him His 10th #1 Song

/in , , /by

Cole Swindell’s song “Single Saturday Night” is officially a chart-topper, marking the tenth number one song of his career!

Over the last few years, Cole Swindell has become a mainstay in country music. His debut singles “Chillin’ It” and “Hope You Get Lonely Tonight” may have put him on the map, but it is his newest songs that are making waves on radio. This week, Swindell’s song “Single Saturday Night” reached the top of the country charts, marking his tenth number-one single.

The song is one of the few gems 2020 had to offer. Written by Ashley Gorley, Mark Holman, and HARDY, the fun-loving track is everything we needed during that time. The upbeat tune is the perfect summer jam! Swindell sings about how the dating world can be tough, but your person may always be right around the corner. The music video explores the concept even further, showcasing a pretty redhead, (Nashville influencer, Shannon Ford) and the coveted drink of the summer, White Claw.

We hope this starts the trajectory of more new music out for the singer! “Single Saturday Night” may be one of the most entertaining songs of the recording artist career. It will be really fun to see the singer perform it live this summer. Congrats to Swindell and his team for another chart-topper!

Who Is Georgia Webster? The Story Behind Her Journey to Country Music

/in , , /by

Who is Georgia Webster? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about her journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

The Beginning:

This week we got to catch up with a budding new songstress in country music. Georgia Webster just released her debut EP First Goodbye last week, and we instantly fell in love with her vulnerability and talent. Growing up on the east coast in Hampton, Massachusetts, Webster’s whole life has done a 180. From a high school student to Nashville’s newest star, the singer-songwriter is on a path towards greatness.

“I grew up kinda in the middle of the woods, out in the country,” shared Webster, as she recalls her early experiences. She recalled her father playing acoustic guitar and artists like the Grateful Dead throughout her childhood. “I ended up being intrigued with the guitar. So he ended up teaching me my first few chords and got me my first guitar, and the rest is history from there.”

At as young as nine years old, Webster began writing music and teaching herself to play more songs on guitar. “I would kinda take the chords I taught myself and put them together to make my own songs.” She recalls learning to play early Taylor Swift songs and One Direction tunes at a young age. Webster even sang Carrie Underwood’s song “Something In The Water” at her sixth-grade talent show.

If Underwood was her introduction to country music, it was Sam Hunt that solidified her interest in the genre. “Sam Hunt came out a few years later, and I really related to the lyrics of his songs,” adding later, “I really found myself loving country music from him. It’s kinda like a country-pop feel and I thought that was so cool.” Nowadays, Webster loves all types of country music including Lennon Stella, Kacey Musgraves, and Tyler Childers.

The Turning Point:

Webster’s career really began to take off when she started posting clips of her songs on TikTok. Armed with a love for music, the singer never suspected her songs would go viral on the social media app. She credits TikTok for helping her get where she is now.

“TikTok has been crazy for me,” she begins. “Without TikTok I wouldn’t have gotten my record deal. […] They flew me down to Nashville to play a few songs of mine.” SONY Music Nashville signed Webster on the spot after discovering her on the app and later hearing her music in person. “’Box of Memories’ is the song I think got me signed,” she shares. “That was a big moment for me.”

Since signing her record deal, the songstress has gotten to hone her talent even more in Nashville. Her debut project is full of songs that her fans on TikTok have fallen in love with and songs she has loved.

Today:

On July 16th, 2021, Webster finally had her debut with First Goodbye. The record features songs that she has written over her high school experience. “I really wanted to make sure that it was just me on the project, just me that had written all of the songs,” adding “I just had to get them or else I’d regret not putting them out.”

It was important to Webster that her songs were reflective of her young self and relatable to younger audiences. The EP features songs like “Box of Memories,” “First Goodbye,” and “Tell Your Mom.” “‘Box of Memories” definitely stands out as like my favorite one. That one and “First Goodbye,” the title track. That one is definitely really close to me,” shares Webster.

The singer also shared the story behind the fan-favorite song “Tell Your Mom.” “It’s based off a true story,” she begins. “It kinda just made me think of all the times in our relationship and got me back to going over his house […] and it just made me think your ex’s or anyone that you are close with, the family plays a big role in your relationship with them too.”

If her debut record is any inclination, Webster will continue to garner more and more fans over the trajectory of her career. The singer just announced her first tour with Ingrid Andress, kicking off this Fall. She will have more songs out before the tour begins. It is safe to say that Webster will continue to be adding to her box of memories, as her career continues to blossom.

Chris Young Releases New Single “Break Like You Do”

/in , , /by

Chris Young’s new song “Break Like You Do” off his forthcoming record ‘Famous Friends’ is available everywhere now, July 23rd. This follows Young’s most recent single “One of them Nights” released earlier this month, as well as his song with Kane Brown, “Famous Friends” which went No. 1 just a few weeks ago.

“Break Like You Do” adds to Young’s growing list of recent releases ahead of his forthcoming album, Famous Friends, due out August 6th. The new song joins previously released tracks “Raised on Country”, “Famous Friends”, “Town Ain’t Big Enough”, “Drowning”, and “One of Them Nights”, all set to be a part of the full-length project.

“Break Like You Do” is a breakup song about one person who is taking the breakup a lot harder than the other. And what is making getting over that person even harder, is that they’re not hurting at all. They’ve moved on and are doing fine, but the other person is completely broken. As if missing them and still being in love wasn’t enough.

I don’t drink like you do, I can’t just have one // ‘Cause I’m still drinkin’ bout us, so I’ll probably get drunk // Wish I could laugh and dance on a Saturday night // Like you do, like goodbye ain’t even crossin’ your mind // Maybe you’re just good at gettin’ gone // Or I’m just really bad at movin’ on? // I’m still in love, girl, it’s true // What can I say? // I hate that I don’t break like you do”

Jason Aldean Duets With Carrie Underwood on “If I Didn’t Love You”

/in , , /by

Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood duet on new song, “If I Didn’t Love You”, available everywhere now, July 23rd. When two powerhouses come together on a ballad like this, it’s bound to be a hit. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new song.

Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood’s new song, “If I Didn’t Love You”, so beautifully showcases each of their own vocal talents in the most perfect blend. Aldean announced the song just days before the drop with a mystery duet partner, but fans quickly began to speculate that it was Underwood and sure enough, it was!

“If I Didn’t Love You” is a song about two people still very much in love with each other but who are no longer together. There’s no denying how much they still care about each other because of how much they still think about them and how badly they can’t get over them, no matter what they do. If they didn’t love them, they wouldn’t be hurting like they are. The two sides telling the same story makes it even harder because they both feel the same way, but the other doesn’t know it. If they did, they might not have to feel the pain that they are.

If I didn’t love you, I’d be good by now // I’d be better than barely getting by somehow // Yeah it would be easy not to miss you // Wonder about who’s with you // Turn the want you off whenever I want too // If I didn’t love you

Earlier this week, Aldean earned his 25th No.1 with “Blame It on You”, a song off his most recent album,  9. Aldean is also gearing up to go on tour, the Back in the Saddle Tour, which kicks off in Virginia Beach on August 5th.

Underwood’s most recent piece of work was a gospel album, My Savior, which she released earlier this year in March. She will be kicking off her Vegas Residency, Reflection, at the end of this year.

Upon the announcement of her debut album TRAVELIN’ KIND, Big Loud Records recording artist Ashland Craft is sharing new music with fans. A true star in the making, Craft is both an incredible vocalist and songwriter. Today, she debuts her brand new song “Make It Past Georgia.”

Written by Craft with Reid Isbell, and Willie Morrison, the new song conveys the heartbreaking connection between people and places.

Craft’s honesty and vulnerability shine through on the new track.

“Oh I never had trouble leaving them behind me // Oh it never took much to move on // I left Texas in the red dirt dust // It was easy leaving Louisiana // I hit 80 in a 55 // Just trying to cross Alabama line // Don’t miss a thing about Mississippi / Carolina keeps calling me // But I can’t seem to make it past Georgia”

“Make It Past Georgia” is the first release from the upcoming record. The new project will feature eleven original songs, nine of which are co-written by the artist. Fans can expect heavy-hitting, brazen, and vulnerable tunes. Craft is a true artist in every sense of the word!

Jordan Rowe Collaborates with Lainey Wilson on New Song “Mama Ain’t Jesus”

/in , , /by

Jordan Rowe collaborates with Lainey Wilson on brand new song, “Mama Ain’t Jesus” available now, July 23rd, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new track.

Country newcomer and Georgia-native, Jordan Rowe released a brand new track today (July 23), “Mama Ain’t Jesus” featuring Lainey Wilson. The gentle, somber ballad will appear on his upcoming debut album, Bad Case of the Good Ole Boy due out August 6th.

“I bet she’ll walk them streets of gold with a silver medal // And while the good lord comes back down to get us she’ll fill in // I ain’t been yet, but I’ve got a glimpse of Heaven // Cause Mama ain’t Jesus but she’s a close second”

We’ve seen Rowe’s fun side with the title track. Now, we get to hear his sensitive side with his ode to mothers, “Mama Ain’t Jesus.” Similar to how Luke Bryan, his childhood idol, honors moms in “Most People Are Good,” Rowe expresses the same gratitude towards his own mother; a good Christian who would give you the shirt off her back if it was the last thing she had. He claims that she isn’t quite Jesus himself, but a close second. Wilson, who is riding the success of her top-15 single “Things A Man Oughta Know,” provides beautiful backing vocals on the track. Other songs that will be featured on the album include “Who Needs You,” “I Didn’t Sleep Last Night,” and four other unreleased tracks.

Rowe incorporates a traditional country sound with a modern-day twist into his music. His influences growing up include artists such as Alan Jackson, Joe Diffie, and Luke Bryan. He has a few dates on his tour schedule—for tickets, head to his website. Wilson will be touring with Jason Aldean and HARDY on Aldean’s Back in the Saddle Tour, which will hit the New York/New Jersey Area at PNC Bank Arts Center and Jones Beach August 6th and 7th, respectively.

Restless Road Release Brand New Song “Hometown Tonight”

/in , , /by

Restless Road’s new song, “Hometown Tonight” is available now, July 23rd, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new track.

Just last month, Kane Brown’s flagship artist, Restless Road released their catchy single “Bar Friends.” Today the talented trio are giving fans even more to be excited about and keeping the momentum going. Restless Road officially dropped their heartfelt new song “Hometown Tonight.”

The new song is one of those songs that will have all the girls swooning. The trio lean into the idea that home can be with your person, rather than a specific place. Comforting, romantic, and nostalgic, “Hometown Tonight” hits the mark in every way. Of course, the individual talent of each member shines through too, but it is their harmonies that continue to be centerstage.

“You had big city dreams // Flashing lights another street // 500 miles from the gravel where we used to meet // Right in the middle of my black chevy bench seat // We’d name the stars layin’ underneath the pine trees // You say you’re missing that simple way of living // that picture-perfect memory, I can paint it in the minute // let me be your home, home, home, hometown tonight”

The trio are an act to look out for. They are growing a loyal following by the minute and are truly talented in their own right. With just a few original songs under their belt, they are already making a name for themselves in country music.

Laine Hardy Premieres Brand New Song “Authentic”

/in , , /by

Laine Hardy’s new song, “Authentic” is available now, July 23rd, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new track.

Country newcomer and 2019 American Idol winner, Laine Hardy released a brand new track today (July 23) called “Authentic.” This southern rock-inspired jam follows his latest single, “Memorize You.” Hardy performed the latter on The Bachelorette earlier this month.

Written by Jessi Alexander, Matt Jenkins, and David Lee Murphy, “Authentic” mentions some of the typical “good ole boy” hobbies, like driving a truck around in a field, wearing boots until they’re completely worn out, and sipping something strong out of a jar. You can hear the Michael Knox production on the track with its heavy use of percussion and electric guitar.   

“It’s tried and true can’t buy it new // If you think you can you don’t get it // If it burns your lips when you take a sip // you’re gonna know that it’s authentic”

The Louisiana-native plans on having new music out this fall. He will hit the road this summer for festivals, supporting Toby Keith, and headlining his Monster Energy Outbreak Tour. He will also make his Grand Ole Opry debut on August 28. For tickets, visit his website.
