Lakelin Lemmings Self-titled Debut Album

/in , , /by

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.

  1. Get Around Boy

Who Is Hunt Pipkin? The Story Behind His Journey to Country Music

/in , , /by

Who is Hunt Pipkin? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about his journey to country music. Get to know the rising artist here…

who-is-hunt-pipkin

Hunt Pipkin // Photo credit: Chris Ashlee

Quick Facts:

Full name – Hunt Pipkin
Birthdate – 04/09/2006
Hometown – Henderson, Tennessee
Current city – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical influences – Shawn Mendes, Morgan Wallen, George Strait, Boyz II Men, Parker McCollum
Label – Distribution through CMDSHFT
Current Single – “Couldn’t Be Us”  (as of date of article: 07/20/2026)
The Beginning:

We always enjoy championing artists while they’re on an upward trajectory. Newcomer and rising artist, Hunt Pipkin is one to look out for. We chatted with Pipkin about his journey so far and his new music. Keep reading to learn more.

Growing up in Henderson, Tennessee, a small town nestled between Memphis and Nashville, he spent most of his childhood on a farm surrounded by fields. With both of his parents working as coaches, his dad serving as the athletic director at the local high school and his mom coaching basketball, sports were always at the center of his life. “I was really more of a sports guy,” he shared. “I loved playing sports.”

While he performed in talent shows when he was younger, music didn’t truly become a priority until high school. He had an early love for music; despite, focusing more on sports. As a fan he enjoyed so many different genres of music.

Interestingly enough, country music wasn’t even his first love. Every morning before school, he and his dad listened to ’80s hits on SiriusXM, and it wasn’t until his freshman year of high school that he really started diving into country music.

“I always loved Florida Georgia Line,” he shared. “Then I started getting into Parker McCollum and Morgan Wallen. I got into HARDY a lot, and ERNEST.” At the same time, he found himself equally inspired by R&B artists like Boyz II Men and Brian McKnight, influences that continue to shape his sound today.

In fact, he jokes that the best way to describe his music is “Chris Brown singing a George Strait song.”

The Turning Point:

After graduating high school, his heart was calling him to head to Nashville, Tennessee.

Although he had originally planned to attend Belmont University, a few friends convinced him to skip college and move straight to Music City instead. Before making the move, however, he had one more stop along the way. In 2024, he earned a blind audition on The Voice. While his journey on the show didn’t go as far as he had hoped, he now looks back on the experience as a blessing in disguise.

Not long after arriving in Nashville, another unexpected opportunity came his way. After returning from The Voice, he was exhausted when a friend invited him to play basketball. He almost stayed home, but decided to go anyway. That decision ended up changing everything. At the gym, he met songwriter Marty James.

“He became like the big brother I never had,” he shared. The two connected on Instagram and eventually scheduled a writing session together. One session quickly turned into many, and before long, Marty introduced him to Corner Entertainment Management.

After playing a few songs for the team, they signed him that very day. Soon after, he also signed a publishing deal with Warner Chappell, allowing him to spend his days doing what he loves most, writing songs and continuing to develop his sound. “It’s about just grinding,” shared Pipkin. “That’s what it’s about.”

Today:

Now, the rising artist is ready to introduce himself with his debut single, “couldn’t be us.”

Written during a difficult breakup, the song takes a refreshing approach to heartbreak. Rather than focusing on anger or resentment, it reflects on wishing someone well while accepting that sometimes relationships simply aren’t meant to last. “I was like, I just need a song,” he recalled. “I’m not mad… I know I’m gonna miss her, of course I’m gonna miss her, but I’m not gonna be salty about it.”

Instead, he leaned into a message of acceptance. “I hate that it couldn’t be us,” he shared. “I wish the best for you.” For him, the song is about reminding listeners that they’re not alone in those difficult moments and that healing is possible.

“Life goes on,” he said. “You just gotta keep moving forward.”

Looking ahead, fans can expect plenty more music. While he isn’t making any promises just yet, his goal is to continue releasing new songs consistently, building his catalog, and getting out on the road to play more live shows.

“We’re gonna try to release music every month,” he shared. “Quality over quantity… we’re gonna try to keep making the best music we can.”

With an exciting new publishing deal, a debut single, and a clear vision for the artist he wants to become, this is only the beginning for one of country music’s newest rising talents.

Quick Facts:

Full Name – DEK of Hearts (Kollin Bailey, Emily Clapp, Dylan John)
Hometown – Marshfield, Missouri; Terre Haute, Indiana; Munroe Falls, Ohio
Current City – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical influences – Rhonda Vincent, Lady A, Randy Travis, Miley Cyrus, JP Saxe, Lauren Watkins, Yebba
Latest Release – “Crazy Lady” (as of date of article: 07/13/2026)

The Beginning:

Today’s spotlight artist prove that sometimes the best things happen when three different paths come together. We got a chance to chat with the trio that makes up DEK of Hearts. Kollin Bailey, Emily Clapp, and Dylan John joined Country Swag to talk about their upbringings, how the band came to be, and of course, new music. Keep reading to find out more!

Before forming the trio, the threesome each found music in their own way. Growing up in Southern Missouri, Kollin was surrounded by traditional bluegrass and country music from an early age. “My grandma was in a bluegrass band and kind of created this love of music,” shared the artist.

For Emily, music started in church. Her parents traveled performing Christian music when she was young, introducing her to harmony-driven artists like Point of Grace, Avalon, and DC Talk, influences that would later help shape the trio’s sound.

Meanwhile, Dylan was growing up in Akron, Ohio, where he watched his dad sing in Christian quartet competitions before eventually joining worship bands himself. “Very early on, my mom and dad noticed that I just loved singing,” he shared.

Although their backgrounds looked different, music eventually brought all three of them to Nashville. Kollin moved during his junior year of college, Emily relocated during COVID with her now-husband after feeling called to Music City, and Dylan eventually made the move after attending Trevecca Nazarene University.

Looking back, the trio can’t help but laugh at how connected their stories really were. “I just think it’s so funny how the Lord put us around each other,” Dylan shared.

The Turning Point:

While the three musicians became friends in college, they never planned on starting a band together initially, but as faith and God would have it, things changed for the better.

Everything changed when Kollin asked Emily and Dylan to sing harmonies during his senior recital. Together, they performed Lady A’s “What If I Never Get Over You,” and the response immediately caught them by surprise. “I was blown away by people’s response to specifically that song,” Kollin recalled.

Even then, forming a band wasn’t an easy decision. “We’ve heard of friends making bands and then they aren’t friends by the end of it,” Kollin shared. Instead of rushing into anything, the three took their time. After traveling together on worship teams and realizing how naturally they worked together, they officially formed the trio, DEK of Hearts in April 2024.

From there, things moved quickly. Shortly after forming, they opened for Grammy Award-winning bluegrass artist Rhonda Vincent before winning the Tennessee Songwriters Week Competition, earning the chance to perform at the Bluebird Cafe. Eventually, another unexpected opportunity happened.

“One night we were all hanging out at my apartment,” Emily shared. “Dylan found an ad on Instagram for The Voice.” The trio submitted a 30-second clip of themselves singing “Heads Carolina, Tails California,” without expecting much to come from it. “We kind of did it as a joke, honestly,” Emily admitted. DEK of Hearts received a callback almost immediately.

That one spontaneous decision eventually led the trio all the way to the Season 28 finale of The Voice, where they finished in third place under coach Niall Horan. “The whole experience was unbelievable,” Emily shared. “It was just full of memorable moments and learning experiences.”

Today:

Flash forward to today, and the trio is building on that momentum with new music and some of the biggest milestones of their career so far.

Most recently, the group released “Dear Ole Whiskey,” one of the first songs they ever wrote together. Co-written with Callie Twisselman, the song approaches alcoholism from a different perspective, writing directly to whiskey itself rather than placing blame on those struggling with addiction. “We didn’t want to talk about the addict or make anybody feel bad,” Kollin shared. “We just wanted to say a couple things to whiskey.”

The response has been one of the most meaningful parts of releasing the song. “When you can write a song that speaks to people in their most vulnerable moments, you know you’ve completed the job,” Kollin shared.

The trio also recently released “Crazy Lady,” an upbeat track that started almost as a joke before becoming one of their favorite songs to perform live. The song is another incredible track that showcases DEK of Hearts’ one-of-a-kind talent.

Looking ahead, fans can expect plenty more music. Fresh off making their Grand Ole Opry debut, the trio plans to release a new single every six to eight weeks while continuing to tour throughout the country. “We’re definitely releasing a ton of new music this year,” Emily shared. “We’re super excited about that.”

With new music, more touring, and plenty of momentum following their breakout run on The Voice, it’s safe to say this trio is just getting started.
