Noah Schnacky Drops Two Songs “Comeback” & “Where’d You Go”

May 19, 2020/in Blog /by Erica Zisman

Country music newcomer and Big Machine Label artist, Noah Schnacky is moving full steam ahead with new music. After bursting on to the scene with his debut single, “I’ll Be The One,” Schnacky has already gained a loyal following of fans. “Comeback” and “Where’d You Go” are his two newest double releases.

“Comeback” is a clever tune about a guy dealing with a breakup. Schnacky sings about knowing that people are waiting for him to bounce back, but he just wants the girl to “come back.” The double meaning of the hook is a smart and enticing way to create buzz around this song. According to Schnacky, “this song came straight from [his] heart during a hard time in [his] life.” We appreciate the rising artist’s honesty and authenticity.

On the other hand “Where’d You Go” is a pensive, yet fun track about wanting to find your soulmate. We all wonder when we will have that moment, where we meet our better half, but Schnacky finds a way to sing about the subject in a relatable, yet personal way. Additionally, this song launched the singer’s TikTok initiative. A contest called “Cyber Date Social Initiative” is giving fans a chance to win one of three cyber dates with Schnacky by downloading the songs, promoting on social media, and just genuinely sharing their love for the tunes.

We cannot wait to see what is in store for Schnacky next! Check out his performance from last week’s Virtual Brunch event via our Instagram.

“Comeback” and “Where’d You 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.

Brothers Osborne Release A Brand New Jam “All Night”

May 18, 2020/in Blog /by Erica Zisman

If you need something to give you a little pep in your step and put a smile on your face, look no further than Brothers Osborne’s brand new release. Aiming to keep the good times rolling despite the current landscape, the award-winning duo premiered their spitfire new single, “All Night” (5/15).

The new release is slated as fans’ first taste of the duo’s upcoming third studio album, the follow up to their impeccable, Port Saint Joe. Written by John and TJ Osborne with Andrew DeRoberts, “All Night” is a guitar-heavy tune made for the stage. Fans will definitely gravitate towards the enticing record and singalong-ready lyrics after just one listen.

“I got the good if you got the time / I got the moon if you got the shine,” the two cleverly sing in the first verse, only to up the ante in the second verse with “I got the rebel if you got the yell / I got the raisin’ if you got the hell.” Brothers Osborne remains undeniably true to themselves and their unique sound and we are here for anything they do!

“All Night” is definitely a song to lift our spirits, and we are so happy that Brothers Osborne has decided to release new music for their diehard fans.

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

“Brothers Osborne” 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.

Who Is Sean Stemaly? The Story Behind Her Journey to Country Music

May 18, 2020/in Blog, Swag Spotlight /by Erica Zisman

Who is Sean Stemaly? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about his journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

The Beginning:

This week we spoke with up and coming artist, Sean Stemaly for our Swag Spotlight feature. The Big Loud Records recording artist shared stories and lessons learned during his upbringing with us, as well as, his journey into the country music world. Of course, we also made sure to get the inside scoop behind his latest single “Come Back To Bed” and upcoming plans for his debut project.

Growing up in both Kentucky and Indiana, rural living played a large role in his upbringing. Learning from a young age the importance of hard work and a strong work ethic, Stemaly took a job driving tractors, working as a heavy equipment operator, before he ever considered a career as a musician.

The Turning Point:

“Whenever I was growing up, I was just a listener,” he shares with us, “I was never into actually making music or doing music or whatever. I was more of a music fan.” Interestingly enough, country music was not his first love. Stemaly grew up on classic rock and even shared, “Van Halen was my life back then,” crediting the band as one of his all time favorites. The singer added John Mellencamp and Motley Crue as some of his other favorites from the 80s rock genre.

Although he discovered country music and country radio on his own at around 14 years old, it was not until years later that he actually recognized his natural talent. “I was listening to Brooks and Dunn on the radio and I was bored and I’ve been in that tractor for ten hours already and I just started singing along.” This led the rising artist to post a vine of him singing, which just so happened to go viral.

Stemaly continued to sing for fun and at church, but his path truly started to light up, when his friend suggested that he head to Nashville. “One of my buddies convinced me to move to Nashville and I took the jump.” Thankfully he did! Since moving to Nashville, Stemaly has found his team of people that support his blossoming career. Recently signing with Big Loud Records, the singer is truly in awe of what his life has become. Interestingly enough he ended up working with a producer who was behind some of his favorite songs, Joey Moi. “I grew up a huge Nickelback fan,” he admits, “I never would have thought that I would be working with the dude that literally produced Nickelback songs, later adding, “Joey is just a master at what he does.”

Today:

Stemaly also attributes Seth England (founder) and the whole team for pushing him out of his comfort zone, and allowing him to grow his talent, especially with his current radio single, “Come Back To Bed.” “Finding the balance between authenticity and being commercial is the challenge in my opinion,” he tells us, but somehow he has been able to showcase both with the new sensual song.

The self-proclaimed smooth and sexy tune had solidified the country crooner as one to look out for. “We decided to take it to the maximum sexy level that you can take country music,” he tells us, “It’s cool that I get to be a writer on a song like that, that I never thought I’d get to write.”

Of course, like the rest of us, Stemaly is not quite sure what the rest of the year has in store for him, but rest assured, a debut project will be leased sometime in the near future. Until then we will have to be patient, and continue to support and champion Stemaly’s one of a kind talent from afar.

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

“Come Back To Bed” 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.

Lee Brice Releases Studio Version of “Hey World”

May 15, 2020/in Blog, New Music /by Alexa Ebner

Originally unveiled during a special living room performance on Fox & Friends, Lee Brice has officially released the studio version of “Hey World”.

In light of the tough times that we’re living in, Brice wrote the powerful track along with Dallas Davidson and Adam Wood. The beautiful piano ballad captures the essence of how we’re all feeling during the global pandemic while diving deep emotionally.

The song opens with the powerful and gut-wrenching lyrics that immediately resonate with fans around the world.

“Hey world, leave me alone / I don’t want to turn on the TV, ain’t nothing but bad news on”

The country star continues to sing from the heart, infusing his quintessential country twangs passionately throughout the lyrics.

“Hey world, I just need some space / Could you give me a minute, to catch my breath today”

The simple piano melody provides comfort, while the song encapsulates the feeling of wanting to escape from what is happening and pretend that it isn’t real. The repetition of the line “Hey world, leave me alone” transports the listener into a mental place of peace and comfort.

Brice and his fellow songwriters put deep feelings into words, in order to help those at home find solace in these tough times. This song embodies the power of music and lyrics, which has the ability to connect an artist with its audience, as we are all navigating this unimaginable time together.

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

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

LEE BRICE – “Hey World” Lyrics

Hey world, leave me alone
I don’t wanna turn on the TV
Ain’t nothing but bad news on
Yeah, the rain can wait for another day
This heart’s worn out, had all it can take

Hey world, leave me alone
Don’t call me up today, I won’t be picking up the phone
I’m gonna sit here on this porch swing and listen to the pines sing
Everything I need’s right here at home
Hey world, leave me alone

Hey world, I just need some space
Could you give me a minute to catch my breath today
I don’t need that long, and you ain’t going nowhere
So if you don’t mind, yeah, if you don’t care

Hey world, leave me alone
Don’t call me up today, I won’t be picking up the phone
I’m gonna sit here on this porch swing and listen to the pines sing
Everything I need’s right here at home
Hey world, leave me alone
Leave me alone, yeah

Hey world, leave me alone
Don’t call me up today, I won’t be picking up the phone
I’m gonna sit here on this porch swing and listen to the pines sing
Everything I need’s right here at home
Hey world, leave me alone
Hey world, leave me alone
Leave me alone

Lauren Davidson Lets Love Lead the Way in “Compass”

May 15, 2020/in Blog /by Brianna Vacca

Lauren Davidson is one of country music’s newest frontwomen full of spunk and femininity. Back in January of 2018, Davidson was featured as one of our first local New York country artist Swag Spotlights. She disclosed her influences growing up, her childhood theatre productions, her move to Manhattan, and contemplating her move to Nashville. Today, she is back with “Compass;” the second single off of the Love Ain’t Fair EP. “Compass” is brimmed with confidence and powerhouse vocals.

“Compass,” co-produced with Dave Ricco and Cristian Castro, is an upbeat, guitar-driven story of confidence fighting for love. She sings: “If we let love be our compass // Even in our roughest // Moments if we trust it, it’ll get us through // I ain’t scared of nothing // Let the storm start coming // and if the weights so heavy it’s enough to sink this ship // I’ll go down with it.”

Stated in a press release, Davidson shared, “I am so excited to get this second single off the Love Ain’t Fair EP out to you. We released the first single the title track – Love Aint Fair on Valentine’s Day and Compass is part 2 of 5 songs that I have co-produced with Dave Ricco and Cristian Castro which is a first for me. This song is really different for me story-wise than anything I have ever written and released before. Relationships are hard and anything but easy and that’s where this song comes from. It’s about wanting to fight for love when things are tough no matter what the obstacles are – let love be your compass and guide the way.”

Earlier this year, Davidson started Urban Country Jam, an event that highlights the rising country talent coming out of the tristate area. We are looking forward to celebrating the next Urban Country Jam once live music resumes.
