Cassadee Pope Drops 2 Songs From Forthcoming EP

/in , /by

Rise and Shine Cassadee Pope

Cassadee Pope is one of the most eclectic singer-songwriters in country music. She’s a little bit country, rock, alternative, and pop all rolled into one. She can add folk into the mix now; Pope released two songs off her upcoming acoustic LP Rise and Shine, out August 7th that show off her incredible songwriting and vocal range. “Built This House” and “Let Me Go” are the follow-ups to her independent smash, Stages, released in early 2019.

There are eight tracks on Pope’s upcoming album, and she released the opener and the closer. The opener, “Let Me Go”, is a stunning ballad about a relationship that needs to end one way or another. “You don’t want me but you won’t take/these chains off from my wrists,” she sings on the chorus to her partner. “I’ll never be good enough for you, never be good enough/What are we doing? You don’t get me so/so let me go”. Pope wrote it with Tina Parol and Kevin Rudolph, and Pope helped produce the track. The guitar is clear, and the mandolin buildup shines throughout as she sings these honest words.

“I wanted people to hear these [songs] in their purest form so I went with a more stripped back sound that really lets the lyrics stand out,” Pope said in a press release. “My hope is that these songs help aid people into feeling every emotion they need to let out.”

“Built This House” is a reflection about the end of a relationship, but on the other side of the breakup. It’s more upbeat in production, and so is the story. Pope sings along to a summery guitar, saying, “brick by brick, board by board/I built this house/from the foundation to the roof.” She uses a metaphor of building a house to the building of her self-worth and confidence. She wrote the track with Kelly Archer and Forest Glen Whitehead, and it’s a song that exudes clarity and personal ownership.

Cassadee Pope has always been such an important voice in country music. She has made music on her terms, used her platform to become a social activist, and has always been upfront about who she is and how she’s feeling. It’s heard in all her music, but especially this new chapter.

To keep up with Cassadee Pope, follow her on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

‘Built This House’ and ‘Let Me Go’ are now available everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more new recently released music here on our ‘New Country Music’ playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

NYCS First Impression: Tenille Townes ‘The Lemonade Stand’

/in , , /by

Tenille Townes Lemonade Stand

It has been a long journey, but we have finally arrived at The Lemonade Stand, emerging country artist Tenille Townes’ debut album. Produced by Jay Joyce, the Canadian musician continues to showcase her creative songwriting skills with five new songs compiled with previous tracks from her Road to the Lemonade Stand EP and Living Room Worktapes, including the emotional “Jersey on the Wall” and her Billboard-charting hit “Somebody’s Daughter.” The virtual video interview below, Townes talks to us about what fans can expect from the record.

“The Lemonade Stand is a collection of songs that mean so much to me and are the way I see the world in this season of my life right now,” Townes shared. “I want this music to be like a gathering place, where people can come and be filled up. I hope this record reminds people of who they are, that they are not alone, and reminds them of their dreams.”

“Jersey on the Wall” and “Somebody’s Daughter” touch on two themes that we have never heard on country radio before. “Jersey on the Wall,” tells the story of a high school student who passed away in a car accident, which compels the singer to question God on tragedy and other aspects of life. In “Somebody’s Daughter,” which peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Hot Country Charts, she sings about a homeless woman on the corner of the street. That woman is a person too, just like herself, which makes Townes wonder how that woman got there and why she’s the one driving by in her car and not the one holding the cardboard sign.

 As for the rest of the album, love is a major theme and it is expressed in various ways. It could be as simple as “The Way You Look Tonight” featuring Keelan Donovan, where the two just describe how looking at the other person makes them feel. In “Lighthouse,” Townes explains that the two people in any given relationship need to be there for each other to guide them through hardships. In one of the previously released tracks, “White Horse,” she explains how your love story doesn’t have to be one out of a fairy tale; love comes in all different forms.

“Maybe not the way I was dreaming of / But you rode in and won my love / And now I’m finally on the right course / Who needs a white horse?”

As those songs describe love in relationships, there are songs about trying to find love as well, which is represented in “Find You,” “Where You Are,” and “Holding Out for the One.” In both “Find You” and “Where You Are,” Townes describes how relentless she would be and all the things she would do to find love. “Holding Out for the One” is a fun, upbeat song where she turns down every guy trying to pick her up at the bar because she knows none of them are “the one” and she is saving her heart for that person.

“I’m not the girl with her high heels in her hand / In last night’s little black party dress / Yeah, maybe I’m a little bit different I guess / But I ain’t giving my heart to just anyone / No, I’m holding out for the one”

“I Kept the Roses” is a vintage sounding ballad and the lone break-up song on the record. In this song, Townes sings about physical things from her former relationship that she has gotten rid of or given up, like the pictures, his t-shirts, the bar they went to, and even the friends they hung out with, to erase certain memories they once shared. However, the one thing she kept was the roses he bought her to show that there was good that came from it. Relationships, good or bad, shape the person you are today and she doesn’t want to forget what love feels like.

Townes touches on faith in ballads, “The Most Beautiful Things” and “When I Meet My Maker.” The latter is a Townes solo write and is not your typical song in terms of structure; it’s more of a poem. In it, she talks about the day she arrives in heaven and what her first conversation with God will be like. To hear more about “When I Meet My Maker”, check out our exclusive interview below. In “The Most Beautiful Things,” she lists things in life such as sunsets, shooting stars, and diamonds that are visually stunning. However, she states the things in life that are the most beautiful are the ones we cannot see, like love and faith.

“So why do we close our eyes / When we pray, cry, kiss, dream / Maybe the most beautiful things in this life are felt and never seen”

One of our favorite songs on the record, “Come As You Are” goes in its own category. Conveniently placed in the middle of the record, “Come As You Are” serves as the feel-good, party track to break up all the different emotions Townes makes us feel throughout The Lemonade Stand. This song is a reminder that it’s okay to let your worries go once in a while, let loose and just be yourself.

“Life is a party on a rooftop / So just go ahead and let your heart stop / All you gotta do is bring what you got / ‘Cause this elevator only goes up”

“This record is the dream that I had when I was a seven-year-old kid singing along in the backseat of the car,” Townes admitted. “She would really be freaking out right now.”

And the “freak-out” is well deserved. This album is a true reflection of Townes and her craft. Listeners can easily tell she poured her heart into this record by how genuine each and every lyric is. We understand how difficult it can be to honestly express yourself as a female in a male-dominated genre. We hope that young and talented musicians like herself motivate others to tell their stories and follow the same path. If Townes is the source of inspiration for aspiring female country artists, then the industry is in very good hands.

Teddy Robb Reminiscences in New Track “Heaven On Dirt”

/in , , /by

Teddy Robb Heaven on Dirt

Teddy Robb is a country newcomer who is wrestling in conventional country offerings. Featured in one of our NYCS Swag Sessions and NYCountry Swag Country Brunch alumni, the Akron, Ohio native has released a new nostalgic single “Heaven On Dirt.”

“Heaven On Dirt” looks back at all of Robb’s sentimental memories growing up in the heart of the country and the little things that made life super special and still continues to offer him comfort. The song opens up with a twangy, catchy guitar line and light percussion. He pays tribute to his father in the first verse and his rebellious years. The second verse is a tribute to his first love, good friends, and his first car. He makes an interesting revelation: sometimes you don’t realize how good you have it until you don’t but in a good, cherishable way. He sings, “The beer was cold, the trucks were old, the dust was gold…It was heaven on dirt”

Robb shared a glimpse of this on his Instagram page sharing a golden photo of the singer + songwriter as a child, posed with a hunting prize, and a Father’s Day post with his father.

Keep up with Teddy Robb on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

“Heaven On Dirt” is now available everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more new recently released music here on our “New Country Music” playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

Russell Dickerson Continues to Shine with “Home Sweet”

/in , , /by

Russell Dickerson Home Sweet

Our of our all-time favorite artists and one of our day ones, Russell Dickerson continues to have one of the most exciting careers in country music. Last year, he accomplished a rare feat as his first three singles to country radio achieved the number one spot on the charts. This year, he released his first song off his upcoming sophomore record entitled “Love You Like I Used To,” and now he has gifted fans with another new song, “Home Sweet.”

Upon listening, fans can tell almost instantly that this song is clearly a Dickerson anthem. Somehow, the artist has mastered the art of creating music that always feels like him. All of Dickerson’s songs feel authentic, bouncy, and passionate, and “Home Sweet” fits the bill perfectly.

“That doormat says welcome home / But I think it’s wherever I’m with you / It’s more than some bricks and stones / No there ain’t nothing like home sweet / You and me / Ain’t got much, but we got all we need”

This particular jam is another ode to the beautiful love that he and his wife, Kailey share together. “Home Sweet” is both fun and romantic. Dickerson pays homage to the notion that when we are with our better half, anywhere can be home. As a recording artist, the singer is often living on a tour bus or a hotel room, but when Kailey accompanies him, it feels like he has home with him.

In other words, home is a person, not a destination. Dickerson manages to remind us of that sentiment, yet, we feel like it’s the first time we ever heard it. He never disappoints! Cheers to another hit and his growing family, the pair is expecting their first child later this year!

To keep up with Russell Dickerson follow him on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

“Home Sweet” is now available everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more new recently released music here on our ‘New Country Music’ playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

Eric Church Preaches Honesty in “Stick That In Your Country Song”

/in , , /by

Stick That in your Country Song Eric Church

Country music fans can rejoice because ‘The Chief’ himself, Eric Church released a new song earlier today. “Stick That In Your Country Song” is both in your face and empathetic, but ultimately brilliant.

Church is not one to shy away from uncomfortable situations, and this song embodies just that. The lyrics reflect the country’s current climate, making mentions of Detroit, our filled jails, unjust deaths of young people, and people who do not get the recognition that they deserve for their work, like teachers. Church encourages other musicians to write about the ‘real stuff’ in their music. A rare outside cut for the usual songwriter, “Stick That In Your Country Song” was written by Davis Naish and Jefferey Steele is heading to country radio this Monday, June 29th.

“Drop me off in Baltimore / Where every other window got a plywood board / Where dreams become drugs and guns / The only way out is to shoot or run / Stick that in your country song, yeah / Take that one to number one, yeah / And get the whole world singing along, yeah / Stick that in your country song, yeah”

In this song, he uses his platform to spotlight the horrors and the discrimination that Americans face day after day currently. Ultimately, this song is just another example of Church’s bravery, as he is never afraid to speak his truth. It is a true rally cry for the disenfranchised. It also happens to hit hard both lyrically and sonically.

According to Church, “Stick That In Your Country Song” is just the start of more to come. “It’s gonna be the tip of the spear for what’s coming after, and it’s a big spear. I believe it’s the best we’re ever been in our career.” We cannot wait for more!

To keep up with Church, follow him on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

If You Like Julia Michaels Then You’ll Love…

/in /by

We believe that everyone is a country music fan, they just might not know it yet! This week we are speaking to the pop fans of the world, specifically Julia Michaels’ fanbase. The songstress is as creative and as innovative as they come, and she is one of the most sought after songwriters in the industry. Her vocals and her writing truly have no limits, and we are big fans of her too! Plus, some may not know that she even opened for country star, Keith Urban on tour!

 

With that being said, we are sure that if you like Michaels then you’ll love these country artists below too!

 

Avenue Beat:

The trio of talented ladies that make up the rising group Avenue Beat are as exciting as artists come! The girls continue to push boundaries with their songwriting, proving that no subject is too taboo. Like Michaels, the songstresses rely on funky and creative melodies to deliver messages that need to be shared with the world. Avenue Beat meld genre stereotypes, always creating some new and fresh, which is definitely reminiscent of Michaels’ writing and recording style.

To keep up with Avenue Beat follow them on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

 

Lacy Cavalier:

Lacy Cavalier is one of the most underrated independent country artists out there. Her songs like “Tea” and “This Ain’t Love” teeter the line between country and pop, but like Michaels, she can truly sing anything. Her phrasing is unique and creative, and her rapport with her fanbase is simply unmatched. Similar to Michaels, Cavalier is a songwriter, who is not afraid to take risks.

To keep up with Lacy Cavalier follow them on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

 

Ashley McBryde:

Finally, Ashley McBryde is a firecracker Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter in the country music realm. She is a total badass and she truly appreciates her loyal fanbase. Not to mention, her single, “One Night Standards,” and song, “Martha Divine” show to sides of the singer’s multi-faceted personality and range, and we see that in Michaels as well.

To keep up with Ashley McBryde follow them on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

 

We encourage you to give these three ladies a try because we are sure that Michaels would appreciate their unique artistry too!

Rascal Flatts Discuss Their Legacy in “How They Remember You”

/in /by

Rascal Flatts How They Remember You

Music is starting to roll back into its original format and country music is as strong as it can be for hit-makers Rascal Flatts starting the week off right with their latest single hitting No. 24 on the Billboard charts.

Earlier this week the trio performed on TODAY’s Citi Music Series playing their hit “I Won’t Let Go” and their latest single “How They Remember You.” Co-written by Marc Beeson, Josh Osborne, and Allen Shamblin, the track depicts the legacy that one is able to leave. The opportunity to be something and leave something bigger than this world.

“Did you stand or did you fall? Build a bridge or build a wall? Hide your love or give it all? // What did you do? // What did you do? // Did you make ‘em laugh or make ‘em cry? // Did you quit or did you try? // Live your dreams or let ‘em die? // What did you choose? What did you choose? When it all comes down, it ain’t if, how they remember you.”

“How They Remember You” is the first single from their upcoming EP How They Remember You coming out on July 31st via Big Machine Records. The project will contain six unreleased songs and a cover of Kenny Rogers’ “Through The Years.” The EP shares tasteful offerings from songwriters Jesse Frasure, Thomas Rhett, Ashley Gorley, Rhett Akins, Josh Osborne, and more.

“We are so excited about our new EP and single, ‘How They Remember You,’” shared Gary LeVox in a press release. “It’s a song about what kind of impact and legacy you want to leave in life. It’s a fantastic song to celebrate 20 years of making music together. It’s an incredible message with a melody to match and we hope the fans love it, and that whatever legacy we all leave behind, it’s beautifully impactful.”

Earlier this year, the trio announced their decision to take a hiatus after celebrating their 20th anniversary. Unfortunately, their farewell tour was canceled due to the pandemic.
