Who is Callista Clark? The Big Machine Records singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, joined us to chat about her journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

Our Swag Spotlight shines this week on an incredible singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, who is wise and talented beyond her years. Callista Clark is a seventeen-year-old Big Machine Records recording artist with big dreams and even bigger talent. We talked to the budding songstress about her journey in Nashville, her debut EP and radio single, and of course, all about where she’s headed.
Growing up in a small town in Georgia, Clark’s primary language was music. As soon as she could talk, she found herself singing with her siblings in her grandad’s church and traveling, playing for other worshippers in her community. Being from a musical family, Clark fit right in. “The moment I could talk I was there singing with my siblings and we would harmonize together,” she tells us, adding, “I have been singing my whole life. It is what feels most natural to me. It is probably more natural to me than talking at this point.”
Throughout her upbringing, Clark got the unique opportunity to learn and listen to many different types of music. She shares feeling inspired by different genres including gospel, Motown, country music, and classic rock as some of her favorites. Crediting artists across genres, it is clear how important music was to the singer even at such an early age. Growing up she listened to everyone from The Judds and Travis Tritt, to Aretha Franklin, but now she finds herself emulating fellow songstresses in country music and beyond like Tori Kelly, Maren Morris, and Jennifer Nettles.
“All those girls that just sing incredibly, write music phenomenally and play instruments; That’s a big goal of mine to be all three.”
After music manager Scooter Braun discovered a cover video on YouTube of Clark singing Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” the songstress’s life was changed forever. She was offered a record deal at fifteen years old by Big Machine Label Group, and began songwriting with some of the most prominent songwriters in Nashville, and ultimately creating her debut EP.
Blending her love of many genres, Clark was able to create a timeless and invigorating debut EP called Real to Me featuring her first radio single “It’s ‘Cause I Am.” “I have been writing with amazing songwriters here in Nashville for the past three years for this collection,” she shared with us, “ And most of the ones that we just put out were some of my first co-writes ever in Nashville, when I was trying to figure out myself as a person, and myself as an artist, and what could I bring to the table to be new, and different, and fresh.”
It is safe to say that is exactly what Clark did with her latest project. She shared with fans exactly who she is and the talent she brings. Her feisty anthemic single showcases one side of the fiery songstress and her experience being a young girl in Nashville. “I feel like “It’s ‘Cause I Am” is the perfect way to introduce myself because it shows the confident, bold, strong, more sassy, and sarcastic side of me” she says of the lead single on EP. Later sharing, “the other songs introduce different sides of me, and I feel like the whole collection does a great job of doing that.”
Clearly, Clark is an artist that is going to continue pouring her heart and soul into the music that she creates. Her sound inspires people everywhere to follow their dreams and even more so, encourages young women to stake their claim wherever they want. Wise beyond her years, Clark is showcasing her staying power in country music already! We look forward to her eventual debut full-length project.

‘This Is Us’ star, Chrissy Metz delivers an uplifting message with healing vocals in her brand new song, “Girl Go”, available now, April 2nd. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.
Chrissy Metz, well-known for her acting role as Kate Pearson in the TV series This Is Us, has also been a growing name on the country music scene over the last few years. She performed on both the ACM and CMT stages in 2019. The ACM Awards marked her debut live television performance, where she joined several female artists on stage to perform “Standing With You” from the movie Breakthrough (in which she also starred in), including Mickey Guyton, Lauren Alaina, Carrie Underwood, and Maddie and Tae.
A few months later, Metz performed Luke Comb’s “Even Though I’m Leaving” at the CMT Awards in honor of his New Artist of the Year Award. With a growing fan base upon her entrance into Country Music, Metz released her debut single “Talking to God” in April 2020 and followed with “Actress” and “Feel Good” shortly thereafter.
“Girl Go” is all about having the courage to not only chase your dreams but also the humility to not forget who you are or where you came from. From the start of the song, it gives a very Faith Hill vibe, and as it goes on, it even shares a very similar message to “Mississippi Girl”.
“Girl Go” is about a girl that once was struggling day to day doing the jobs she never thought she’d have to settle for and goes on to live her wildest dreams. Metz touches on the hate and judgment from others that are constantly surrounding people as they try to make it in this world, saying that you may never get used to it, but it’ll never stop, it’s just the way it goes. This song stands as a message to not worry about others and all the reasons not to, and acts as the push one needs to follow their own heart.
“At the end of the day, just needed someone to say // Girl go, dream on down that road // Roll down that window and let that freedom in // Let your hand that’s in the wind, girl go // You can always come back home // You might see your name in shining lights all around the world // But don’t you ever let that girl go”
Chrissy Metz new song “Girl Go” is available now, April 2nd

Canaan Smith’s highly anticipated sophomore album, High Country Sound, is available now, April 2nd, everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a look below for our exclusive interview and full review of the project.
Canaan Smith’s new album, ‘High Country Sound’ is available now, April 2nd
It may have taken you some time to recall the name “Canaan Smith” because it feels like forever since his name has been commonly used in country music. His debut album, Bronco was released in June of 2015 and it produced the massive single “Love You Like That,” which hit number one a month later. After taking a break from music for a few years, he became the first artist to sign with Florida Georgia Line’s newly-formed label, Round Here Records in August of 2019 and released the song, “Beer Drinkin’ Weather.” The release of other stand-alone singles such as “Life Ain’t Fair,” “Country Boy Things,” and “Pour Decisions” followed, and now, we finally have a true sophomore album from him.
High Country Sound is a project that speaks Smith’s truth from beginning to end. Impressively, Smith co-wrote every single song on the record, which is no easy feat. Not only that, but Smith also is the sole producer on 8 of 12 tracks and co-produced the remaining 4 with Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line. This is a standout achievement of the platinum hit-maker.
“When I moved here sixteen years ago from Virginia, I set out to write the kind of music that I’m doing now with this new album,” Smith tells us in our recent exclusive interview. “But somewhere along the way I sort of lost sight a little bit and started reaching more than digging and wasn’t doing what comes natural to me or what felt like an expression of who I am.”
Smith showcases his true, country-boy self throughout this entire album by discussing themes of love, heartbreak, growing up, and having a good time. You can hear the authenticity from Smith in the first two tracks, “Grounded” and “Mason Jars & Fireflies.” In the former, he reflects on hardships he has dealt with in the past but is thankful for them because they shaped the person he is today. In “Mason Jars & Fireflies,” Smith paints a beautiful picture of a simpler time when fireflies lighting up the summer sky were the most important thing on their minds. “Cabin In The Woods” also reminisces on summertime during his teenage years. He recognizes how much he has grown since then, but the memories made at that particular cabin remain fresh in his mind.
“Colder Than You” was the first song he released from this project and will serve as the lead single. Written with Corey Crowder and Jared Mullins, the singer finds comfort in a 12-pack when his girlfriend leaves him. This is not a sad breakup song, however. He realizes how much she tried to change about him, the people he hung out with, and the music he listened to and discovers he is happier without her. The cheeky and clever songwriting makes it a fun track to sing-along with and drink a beer to.
“Girl, I ain’t drowning your memory // These mountains are all that’s in here gettin’ blue // Baby, I might’ve finally found something colder than you.”
“High Country” and “Catch Me If You Can” are fun, upbeat songs all about having a good time. In the former, the singer’s girlfriend just ended things but he has a hard time being sad about it because “it’s hard to be low in high country.” This track contains a heavy amount of steel, fiddle, banjo, and harmonica, giving it a classic country sound. You can hear the Florida Georgia Line in these tracks, as they were both co-produced by Kelley and Hubbard alongside Smith.
“Sweet Virginia” is not only an ode to his home state but shows praise to his 1-year-old daughter, Virginia Rose. In the first verse, he reflects on the difficult decision to leave home to chase his dream in Nashville, but by the second verse, you can interpret the lyrics in either direction. This song is near and dear to his heart in two ways, which is probably why it was his favorite on the record.
“This record is an attempt for people to know me and that song covers all the bases,” he tells us. “In one listen you can kind of get the whole picture and story of my life until now.”
The final three songs, “Like I Ain’t Missing You;” “Highway Blues;” and “Losing Sleep Over A Girl” all touch on love and show his vulnerable side. In the first, the singer uses alcohol and other women to help him get over his ex. He acts fine, but deep down he knows he is just lying to himself. In the second, he hops in his car and goes for a long drive to try and ease his mind. He states: “Wish I was holdin’ you ‘Stead of huggin’ on a yellow line.”
The album ends on a positive note however, as he tells the story of how he fell in love with the two girls in his life: his wife and his daughter. It all started with a kiss after a George Strait concert; he could not sleep that night and he cannot sleep now due to his crying baby. The sweetest part is, he wouldn’t want it any other way.
“Wide awake, heart racin’ // So hypnotized // Lost in the moment, still lost in her eyes // As the sun made its way ‘cross the dark side of the world // There I was again / Losing sleep over a girl”
Smith discussed in our interview that he didn’t care about making a “cool” album with commercial success; he just wanted to create a project that was authentic and true to himself.
“The more you write your personal truth, it seems like that would be more isolating but it’s the exact opposite. In my experience, the more honest and open I am about my personal self, I find it resonates stronger with people than the other stuff does…I’ve gotten messages from listeners that have been finding themselves in these songs and feeling like they’re connected to them and it makes me feel really proud.”
It’s very easy to make something generic that everyone can relate to. Smith trusted his gut, took the necessary time, and put out a genuine record that contains elements of modern and traditional country with moments of celebration, heartbreak, and honest stories. It must have been a lot of pressure to come back with a sophomore record six years after your debut, but Smith delivered, and in a big way.

Canaan Smith’s highly anticipated sophomore album, High Country Sound, is due out Friday, April 2nd. After chatting with the singer-songwriter and hearing the new music, we’re giving you five reasons why you should listen to the brand new project.
Canaan Smith’s new album, ‘High Country Sound’ is due out Friday, April 2nd
Smith co-wrote every single song on the record and was the sole producer on 8 of the 12 tracks
Each of the twelve tracks off the album are true to Smith as a person. The singer made the notable decision to include songs that spoke to him both professionally and personally, bypassing the idea that he had to write a “hit song.” The fact that Smith co-wrote every song on the record is no easy feat. Not only that, but Smith also is the sole producer on 8 of 12 tracks and co-produced the remaining 4 with Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line. This is a standout achievement and should be celebrated. He is the real deal!
There are songs for every type of country fan.
What I admire most about this record is that it is not trying to be something it’s not, but yet, it still has songs for every kind of country fan. For those who like to jam out to anthem-like music, there’s “Colder Than You.” For those who love the story-telling aspect of country music, “Sweet Virginia” is your song. Personally, “Losin’ Sleep Over A Girl” is my favorite.
The record is pure heart (and talent).
When we talked to Smith about his record, we learned how important it was for the singer to share who he is with his fans. This record has been a long time coming, and it was important for Smith to give fans a project he was proud of. Each song transports you into his world, a challenge Smith conquered effortlessly.
You will learn all about the singer.
The twelve songs take you on a trip through Smith’s life experiences that are both personal to him, but easily relatable to others. There are songs about his daughter, his hometown, his family, love, loss, and everything else. We especially love that he included songs that he wrote ten years ago, like “American Dream.” This showcases that he wants to take fans on a ride through his whole journey.
Because it is INCREDIBLE.
We do not say this lightly, but High Country Sound is an incredible record. It tells a story, shares who Smith is, and is unlike any other record out there. It comes from an inspiring and real place, which is the best part. It is clear that he let go of all restraints, and just developed something that is authentic and vulnerable, the best kind of music in our opinion!

Long Island, New York native, Carolyn Miller has country music and Nashville in her heart. She utilizes her platform and her voice to share songs with the world that are meaningful and relatable. Most recently, the songstress released one of her most vulnerable songs to date, a song dedicated to her husband, Kevin called “When I Say I Do Today”.

With the support of her fans, the singer decided to release this very personal song first on TikTok, where she saw viral success with the sneak peek and listeners begged to hear the full version. The track plays as her vows to her husband written as lyrical poetry and set to a beautiful tune. In the song, Miller promises to be faithful, love her husband with everything she has, and stay firm in the good times and the bad. “When I Say I Do Today” is an incredible wedding song that celebrates love in its purest form between two people.
“Every girl dreams of the day when she gets to wear all white // And walk with daddy down the aisle to meet the love of her life // And I’ll admit I once I got married on the playground when I was 9 // But I remember thinking one day I’ll be a real bride”
What makes this song even more special is the fact that Miller never planned on releasing it. Originally a song just for her husband has become a song that many brides and grooms can enjoy for years to come.

As Luke Combs prepares for his highly anticipated third studio album, he’s giving fans a sneak peek with new, unreleased tracks that just may make their way to the project. Inspired by a fan’s tweet, “We Still Drink Beer” is Combs’ latest surprise.
As always, there is no one quite like Luke Combs in the entertainment industry and when superfan, Billy McKee sent a tweet to the superstar, Combs did what he does best – wrote a song.
Sharing a photo of his wedding day, McKee added, “Man @MillerLite and @lukecombs if you guys don’t reply back to this photo I don’t even know what to say!! This was my wedding this Saturday March 27!” The photo shows McKee down on one knee, drinking a beer with a Miller Lite box over his head, while his groomsmen surround him, drinking Miller Lite as well.
Luke Combs’ new, unreleased track was inspired by Combs fan, Billy McKee’s Wedding Tweet
Less than 48 hours later, not only did McKee receive a tweet back from the singer-songwriter, but Combs also shared a brand new song inspired by the photo. Sharing the song to social media, Combs added, “It’s on your wedding day, I believe, and you’re down on one knee with a beer box on your head, and all your buddies are around you drinking beers, and it kind of just inspired this song.” Before performing an acoustic version of the song alongside his co-writers, Combs adds “I know I have a lot of beer songs, but here’s another one.”
“We Still Drink Beer” comes just days after Combs shared another new, unreleased song on social media called, “See Me Now,” giving fans a sneak peek at album number three.
While “See Me Now” touched our heartstrings, “We Still Drink Beer” is a jam. The latter is all about how crazy life gets, but that at the end of the day, we’re going to choose a cold one. The song is reminiscent of Combs’ hits “Beer Never Broke My Heart” and “When It Rains It Pours,” but the vocals are even more elevated and incredible if that’s even possible. “One small step for man, cold beer for all mankind,” Cheers to that Luke!
“We’d still drink beer // We’d still get loud // We’d still turn up // Catch us a buzz, while the sun goes down // Til every last drop in the world is gone or the good Lord calls us home // Cause as long as we’re down here // We still drink beer”
In just a few short days, Combs has reminded us that he can pretty much sing and write anything. He will continue to give us vulnerable songs and fun, party songs a pair we just cannot get enough of. We cannot wait for the next one!

Mitch Rossell’s new song “Ran into You” features Trisha Yearwood and is available now, March 30th. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.
There is nothing that quite defines country music like a good songwriter and proving to be exactly that is Mitch Rossell. The budding star is the sole writer responsible for Garth Brooks’ smash hit “Ask Me How I Know,” and even opened for the superstar on his sold-out world tour with just an acoustic guitar in hand!
As an artist, Rossell is as talented as they come, quickly grabbing the attention of fans everywhere including power couple, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. Frequently working with Brooks in the past, today Yearwood lends a hand featuring vocals on Rossell’s latest release. The collaboration of a lifetime for Rossell, he and Yearwood created a masterpiece with a song called “Ran into You.”
The new tune is honest, emotional, and impactful. Written by Rossell along with Tommy Karlas and Dave Turnbull, as a listener you just know that the song comes from a vulnerable and truthful place. The relatable track expresses how it feels to be scared of love and heartbreak, but finding your person amongst all the uncertainty.
“I ran like hell to nowhere fast // From myself // From my past // From my hometown and everyone I ever knew // I ran from God when he got too close // I ran from love and the hearts I broke // And from all the wreckage I left in my rear-view // All I ever knew was running // Til I ran into you”
For Rossell, it was an honor to have Yearwood record with him, but according to the songstress, the honor was all hers. “I’ve been a Mitch Rossell fan since the first time I heard his voice,” she tells People.com, “I’ve been waiting patiently for him to ask me to sing on one of his records, ha! He finally did.”
However the collaboration shaped up, we are so glad it did! “Ran into You” is an incredible song that will continue to touch your hearts and get stuck in your head for a long time coming!

Eric Church surprised fans with another brand new song, “Break It Kind Of Guy” from his forthcoming three-album project due out this April, ‘Heart & Soul’.
Earlier this year, superstar Eric Church revealed plans for an unprecedented new project. The singer-songwriter will be releasing a triple album, ‘Heart & Soul’in April. Album #1 is entitled ‘Heart’, album #2 is ‘&’, and ‘Soul’ is the third record. Surprising fans once again before the project’s official release, Church debuted the final instant gratification track off the project, a song entitled “Break It Kind Of Guy.”
The new jam has Church written all over it! Co-written by Church with fellow songwriters Luke Dick and Casey Beathard, the song was born out of pure creativity. According to the singer, “Luke was talking about how refreshing it was and how creative he felt in that setting, and then he said ‘I’m so surprised you would do it this way because normally people are like ‘if it’s not broke’ – and when he said that, I went ‘you break it,” referring to Church’s goal of challenging himself to write and a record each song in just one day. “We’ve got three songwriters in the room so immediately it turned into ‘if it’s not broke, I’m a break it kind of guy.’ It was a neat thing for the song to be born in that moment.”
Eric Church’s new song “Break It Kind Of Guy” is available now, March 26th
“Hold up on rollin’ up the streets in this town // I got a bucket full of paint left and a match to burn it down // When it comes to raisin’ hell I’m ‘bout to take you all to school // Ain’t big on all your laws and don’t care about your rules // Yeah, I tell my eagle where to fly // If it’s not broke, I’m a break it kind of guy”
That anecdote is a perfect embodiment of what the song shares. In all ways, Church is not afraid to push the envelope and break molds. In fact, some may say that he is a risktaker and a rule-breaker, but we argue that he is a trendsetter and innovator.
Fans can anticipate more creativity and innovation from Church as we await his three-part record. Proving to be an artist for the fans, the middle project, ‘&’ will only be viable for the Church Choir fanbase. Visit ericchurch.com to join!
