Nick Wayne Releases Emotionally Dense, “I Love You More”

I Love You More Nick Wayne

“I Love You More” can be marketed towards those who are not spending Valentine’s Day with a special someone this year, yes. And it may blend well in the background of an anti-love Galentine’s Day binge eat, sure. But, this new one from Nick Wayne is much more than a February fixation.

This track continues to present the artist’s ability to quiet a room and lick the wounds that you may have never known you had. Both vocally and lyrically, he creates an emotionally dense yet soothing production.

Like many of his previous releases, Wayne played part in the songwriting process alongside Elias Kaparil, Jackie Young, and Josh Kerr. “You make it look so effortless / to be okay while I’m a mess / I gave you all the best of me / and honestly I hate it” is just one vulnerable lyric out of a haystack of them in this one-sided love story.

It coincides with Michael Ray’s current single “Her World or Mine” whereas one person cannot shake another from their memory. However, “I Love You More” allows the lyrics to speak for themselves while Ray’s utilizes imagery by illustrating a variety of different instances in which a recent stranger may not feel your absence, but you feel theirs or vice-versa.

Nick Wayne is one of those Nashville acts that is difficult to rightfully transcribe the effect his voice holds when molded with keys on a piano or a handcrafted lyric. At the risk of sounding cliché, his music truly speaks for itself.

“You said I love you / I said I love you more / and it’s just as true as it was before / you said three words, I just had to say four / now you love me less and I love you more/ I still love you more”

No, Nick, we love you more.

NYCS First Impression: Carly Pearce’s Self Titled Album

Carly Pearce

Carly Pearce is giving her fans a special gift this Valentine’s Day with the release of her self-titled sophomore album. The thirteen song collection shows Pearce expanding her sound, showing off a variety of sides, including flirty, empowering, and more.

For Pearce, this album is a personal one, as it was produced by late songwriter/producer, Busbee, and marks his final full work. Pearce revealed to PopCulture.com about Busbee’s contributions to her career. “I feel like we both felt like this album would be the one that really put my flag in the ground, and hopefully took me to the next level. And we had so much fun making this one. I would just tell him, in the last two records, and since the beginning of Every Little Thing, he helped me find my voice. He helped me find my artistry. He helped me get my dream and I’m just forever grateful to that and really, really proud of what we did.”

The album opens with a pair of fun up-tempo tracks, drawing listeners in immediately with the catchy one-two punch of “Closer to You” and “Call Me.” However, it’s tracks four and five that show Pearce at her best. On the twangy “Dashboard Jesus,” written by Victoria Banks, Sara Haze, and Emily Shackelton, Pearce is a girl who leaves home in search of something bigger. “As long as she’s going somewhere/ It doesn’t matter to her anyway/ Everybody says she’s dreamin’/ Call her crazy for believin’/ Sometimes all you really need is/ Fifty dollars and a dashboard Jesus.”

Track five is the emotive “Halfway Home,” written by Pearce, Jimmy Robbins and Laura Veltz. “You can try to tell a heart/ To feel somethin’ that it don’t,” She sings, her voice practically breaking. “But halfway to heaven isn’t heaven/ And halfway home just ain’t home.”

“I Hope You’re Happy Now,” Pearce’s chart-climbing duet with Lee Brice, is another of the album’s highlights, putting an optimistic spin on a broken relationship. “I hope you find what you were looking for/ I hope your heart ain’t hurting anymore/ And you get moving on, all figured out/ And you don’t hate me somehow/ ‘Cause I hope you’re happy now.”

While Pearce’s duet with Brice is bittersweet, her collaboration with husband, Michael Ray, is 100% saccharine. On the R&B tinged mid-tempo, co-written by Kelsea Ballerini, Thomas Rhett, Ashley Gorley, and Jesse Frasure, they sing of knowing each other so well that they know what the other’s thinking.

Pearce shines on empowering songs, as evidenced by “It Won’t Always Be Like This,” which she co-wrote with Sam Ellis and Natalie Hemby. Another of the album’s highlights is the ode to women and their strength, titled “Woman Down.” Here she sings, “She can make a mountain move/ And do it in her high heeled shoes/ If she ain’t back up yet, just stick around/ You can’t keep a woman down.”

For Pearce, this album is the perfect follow up to 2017’s Every Little Thing. With the variety of songs and stories here, she continues to prove that she’s one of country music’s most exciting new female voices.

The Cadillac Three Electrify New York City’s Bowery Ballroom

The Cadillac Three NYC

Photo Credit: Mitchell Straub

New Yorkers headed out in droves to the downtown venue, Bowery Ballroom last night (2/12) to support a country-rock band that has been playing together for over a decade. The Cadillac Three brought their unique sound, infectious spirit, and killer guitar skills to the stage, singlehandedly entertaining the crowd on a Tuesday night.

At approximately a quarter past eight, the energy in the room intensified as the trio, made up of Jaren Johnston, Kelby Ray, and Neil Mason finally took to the stage, immediately getting concertgoers to join in on their first song of the night “Hard Out Here.” The men kept it going with two more high-energy songs off their latest record Country Fuzz, “Blue El Camino” and “Slow Rollin.” Although the new album has only been out for a few days, country fans already knew the words to both of the tracks, proving how diehard the band’s fans truly are.

Throughout the night The Cadillac Three played a mix of songs off the new record, as well as, hits from their previous albums, including songs like “Peace Love & Dixie,” “I’m Rockin’,” and “Tennessee Mojo.” Of course, “Crackin’ Cold Ones With The Boys” and “Bury Me in My Boots” were also included in their killer set. It wasn’t until later in the night that the lead singer Jaren finally addressed the fans in the room.

“Big week for us man. Country Fuzz is out on the streets baby! Worldwide man! So we’re going to play some of that for you tonight, we’ve already played some of that, we’re gonna play some old shit, we’re gonna play some new shit.” Jaren went on to show his appreciation for The Cadillac Three fans adding, “We’re so thankful that y’all came out to support us tonight. Cheers!”

Despite starting with the hard-hitting tracks, the trio decided to slow it down, singing a love song to Johnston’s wife, “White Lightning”, as well as, two other slow-jams entitled “Whiskey and Smoke” and “Drunk Like You”.  Later on in the set, the trio made sure to sing the sultry, “Take Me to the Bottom” off their 2017 record Legacy. Although each deserved a spot in the show, “White Lightning” was definitely one of the highlights of the night, as fans showed their appreciation for the softer, more vulnerable side of the electrifying trio.

The Cadillac Three turned it up a notch yet again, playing more crowd favorites like “Hank & Jesus” and “American Slang.” The trio chose to end their performance on a high night, playing arguably one of their most successful songs to date, “The South,” an album cut with Florida Georgia Line, Dierks Bentley, and Mike Eli that snagged them an ACM Awards nomination, and gave The Cadillac Three the platform and recognition that they have always deserved.

“We’re going to keep playing until they kick us out of here!” exclaimed Jaren, and boy did they do just that, playing over 20 songs in what was an incredible night of music.

We are sure that the next time The Cadillac Three rolls back into town that they will be playing to an even larger number of New York country fans that truly appreciate their artistry, their talent, and their authenticity. To learn more about the trio and why we love them so much, check out our interview with the band below.

Ross Ellis Takes You Back to His Roots in “Home To Me”

Ross Ellis Home to Me

Ross Ellis is a country music singer + songwriter born and raised in the small town of Monterey, Louisiana and we propose you keep your eye on him, that’s why we named him one of our 2020 Artists to Watch. In 2017 Ellis was titled Sirius XM’s latest “Highway Find” with the release of his first single “Home For The Weekend.” He published a handful more singles after that initial release and lionized a breakthrough after Tim McGraw’s “Neon Church” where Ellis was one of the co-writers alongside Ben Goldsmith and Ben Stennis.

After his recent signing with Sony Music Nashville, “Home To Me” is the singer’s first release with the major label. Written by Ellis, Emma-Lee and Karen Kosowski; who also produced and engineered this track, this sanguine, upbeat aria is an ode to Monterey, Louisiana. Ellis talks about all of the things he misses from back home and the verdict to trade in the city back for the back roads. The “Ghosts” singer moved to Nashville upon graduating from The University of Louisiana and it’s distinct that he hasn’t omitted his roots. You can remove the boy from the country but you can’t remove the country from the boy. He sings: “Riding around town // Roll with the homies // Roll the windows down // Where everybody knows me // It don’t matter how much I’ve changed // ‘Cuz this place gonna stay the same // Shoot a little pool down at the lane // And throwing back Crowns ’til nobody’s standing // It don’t matter how much I leave // It’s always gonna be // Always gonna be home to me // Home to me, home to me.”

Co-writers Lee and Kosowski took to Instagram today to celebrate the release. Lee declared, “If you aren’t rhyming jambalaya with choir are you even a songwriter?” Kosowski stated, “You’re such a talent and just love how personal this song is for you… thanks for sharing all the stories about your hometown back in Louisiana with me and @emmadashlee the day we wrote this.”

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

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

“Home To Me” Lyrics

I wanna trade this pavement in for some gravel
I’m at the end of my rope and I need to unravel
‘Cuz these stars don’t shine as bright as they could
And a Monterrey night would do me some good, yeah
Two tanks, five hundred miles and change
Give or take, I’m talking ’bout

Riding around town
Roll with the homies
Roll the windows down
Where everybody knows me

It don’t matter how much I’ve changed
‘Cuz this place gonna stay the same
Shoot a little pool down at the lane
And throwing back Crowns ’til nobody’s standing
It don’t matter how much I leave
It’s always gonna be
Always gonna be home to me
Home to me, home to me

I miss my momma’s jambalaya
And singing “Back Road” with my old church choir
And my red brick house down that long drive way
With the mail box holding up my last name
And diving off the dock at Black River Lake
I can’t wait, I’m talking ’bout

Riding around town
Roll with the homies
Roll the windows down
Where everyone knows me

It don’t matter how much I’ve changed
‘Cuz this place gonna stay the same
Shoot a little pool down at the lane
And throwing back Crowns ’til nobody’s standing
It don’t matter how much I leave
It’s always gonna be
Always gonna be home to me

Home to me, home to me
That river still runs in my skin and my bones
No it doesn’t really matter how far I go
It’s always gonna be the heart and my soul
Yeah, that river still runs in my skin and my bones
It doesn’t really matter how far I go
It’s all I know, it’s all I know
I’m talking ’bout

Riding around town
Roll with the homies
Roll the windows down
Where everyone knows me

It don’t matter how much I’ve changed
‘Cuz this place gonna stay the same
Shoot a little pool down at the lane
Throwing back Crowns ’til nobody’s standing
It don’t matter how much I leave
It’s always gonna be
Always gonna be home to me
Home to me
It’s always gonna be, it’s always gonna be
Home to me

Cam Professes True Ride-Or-Die Love In “Till There’s Nothing Left”

Cam Till There's Nothing Left

It’s been two years since country vocal powerhouse Cam dropped “Diane,” her empowering response to Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.” Today, the Sony/RCA recording artist is back with a brand new single, “Till There’s Nothing Left,” a selfless love song about loving till the end of time.

The mid-tempo, sensual tune is Cam’s profession of her love for her husband, Adam Weaver, and the ends of the earth she’ll go to for him. “My husband and I will go drive and have a quickie in the back of the car. Why am I embarrassed to sing about that? ‘Till There’s Nothing Left’ is a commitment. It’s saying – I am gonna love you with everything I have, physically, spiritually, I’m so in.”

With drum loops, a looming echo and the repetition of “till there’s nothing left,” the nothingness that an end-of-time till-death-do-us-part love could not be conveyed any better.

“Till there’s nothing left / Till there’s nothing left / Me and you in the backseat / Drivin’ me crazy / Killin’ me baby / Till there’s nothing left / Till there’s nothing left / With the windows up / Spendin’ all my love / Prayin’ God don’t save me,” the 35-year-old sings poignantly in this monumental love song.

Penned by Hillary Lindsey (Carrie Underwood, Lady Gaga), Cam, and her longtime collaborators Tyler Johnson (Harry Styles, Sam Smith) and Jeff Bhasker (Kanye West, Bruno Mars), the song also received an incredibly stunning and haunting video treatment, courtesy of director Dano Cerney (The Chainsmokers, Elle King).

Shot at the Hitching Post Western Saloon in Portland, TN, everyone in the honky-tonk and car makes an intentional decision to make out like there’s no tomorrow (pretty literally), and if it that’s the final moment on earth, they’re fine with it. Undeniably, the idea of cherishing final moments with the ones you love is at the crux of this cinematic video’s storyline.

“It’s the end of the world and I know a little place in the eye of the storm. Let’s live our last moments dancing together in the neon glow,” says Cam.

In celebration of the release, Cam performed on The TODAY Show this morning and will be on Late Night with Seth Meyers tonight. Her highly-anticipated sophomore record is due for release later this year.

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

“Till There’s Nothing Left” 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.

Tickets officially go on sale to the general public on Friday, February 21st, but NYCountry Swag followers can grab theirs early on Thursday, February 20th at 10AM with presale code: SWAG. Click here to grab yours. 

Everybody knows songs like “Bless The Broken Road”, “Life is a Highway”, “What Hurts The Most”, “I Like The Sound Of That”. “My Wish” or “Fast Cars and Freedom” but did you a little less known songs like “Compass”, “A Little Home” or “Cool Thing”. If not be sure to check our list below. Some songs are a little more romantic some are a little more country and some are just simply great.

10. “Oklahoma-Texas Line” – Fast rhythm piece, happy and joyful kinda love song which makes your foot tap. The world needs more love tunes like this one. “Got an old dog, it don’t like me much/ That thing starts to bark his head off every time we touch”

9. “I Know You Won’t” – A cover of Carrie Underwood’s song, this one is about people who are resistant to change, they don’t want to change themselves for the better. Yes, ladies, men are not the only ones who don’t want to reform. You can try to teach old dog new tricks but you’ll probably fail if the other side doesn’t really crave it. “You say you’ll call, but I know you/ You say you’re coming home, but I know you/ You say you’ve changed, but I know you won’t”

8. “Love What You’ve Done With The Place” – Love is not defined by grand gestures but by little things that make you feel important and comfortable. Things that remind you of the person you care for are also an expression of love. “Leave the towel on the shower and that empty shampoo bottle/ That makeup on the counter/ You can take, but you ain’t gotta/ Just don’t leave me without leaving a trace/ Cause I love what you’ve done/ yeah, I love what you’ve done with the place”

7. “I Have Never Been In Memphis” – You never know when little cupid with an arrow will hit you. Love will make you travel to new places and experience new things. “I have never been to Memphis/ But if You’re there/ I will pack my bags, and go/ Oh even though it never rains here/ And the sun is always shining\ I have never met a girl like you”

6. “Night Of Our Lives” – Moments that make us grin, make us reminisce. Times when we were young and wild. Good old days. This lively tune definitely will bring you back some good memories from the past. “My little blue-eyed blue jean girl/ We took that Chevy for w whirl/ Innocence and butterflies/ We left them both behind”

5. “A Little Home” – Everyone needs a home. Sometimes when you’re sad or feel down all you have to do is call parents because they love you unconditionally and they’ll always try to cheer you up. “Sometimes you just need a little home/ Some “Hey mom and dad what is going on?/ I am just checking in? No, there is nothing wrong”/ Sometimes you just need a little home”

4. “Summer Young” – Valentine’s Day is tomorrow and here’s another lively and positive love song for you. The tune that will bring you back happy memories from your past when you were summer young. “I stood behind you while you swayed and looked down/ At your pretty face, thought “Man I’m falling hard for her”/ Yeah, we get those moments now and then/ The kind you pray that will never end/ That’s exactly where we were”

3. “Cool Thing” – Sometimes you find love when you least expect it. Single second changes everything. Is this song about just that. “She didn’t come there lookin’ for love/ And the cool thing was/ Neither did I”

2. “Ellsworth” – It’s about til death due us apart, never forgotten love. Amazing story about love only grandparents can experience – a long-lasting one, the most beautiful kind of love. “A front porch light and a blue DeSoto/ Couple of straws and a coca-cola/ You can see it all gong down/ A handsome boy in army green/ A tear on his face, down on a knee/ Shaky voice, a diamond ring/ She’ll put you in that town/ Tomorrow she won’t remember what she did today/ But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948”

1. “Compass” – Creme de la creme of this list. One of the most beautiful, heart-melting country songs you’ll ever hear. Compass, lighthouse, anchor that’s how true love can be described in one word. Rascal Flatts will explain to you what True Love is. “When the night is falling/ So hard upon you/ And the world is aiming/ Heavy on your heart/ When your soul is stranded/ And you’re barely standing/ I will hold you, shield you, show you”

20 years is a long period of time. We should be glad that we had a chance to enjoy their music for quite some time. Maybe in a few years, they’ll reunite and let the fans savor new songs. Time will tell, but, for now, relish in their timeless tracks.

20 Signs You’re Half Confidence and Half Anxiety

Everyone’s heard the phrase “fake it till you make it”, but some of us have truly perfected the art of convincing the world we’ve got it going on, even while our insides are screaming in self-doubt. Confidence and anxiety don’t have to be mutually exclusive, and if these signs resonate, you’re probably both!

Half Anxiety Half Confidence

1. You enjoy walking into a crowded room, just as long as no one turns to stare.

2. It’s easy for you to introduce yourself to someone new, but only if they’re not in the middle of a conversation.

3. Parties are no problem, but only if you know at least two people there.

4. On the outside, it seems you wholeheartedly stand by your decisions, even though internally you second guess them every second.

5. You pretend you don’t care what other people think, but you totally do.

6. You seem calm, cool and collected all the time, even when deep down you’re panicked.

7. Meeting a significant others’ parents or friends doesn’t scare you, but afterward, you can’t help but wonder what they thought.

8. You are a natural leader, but privately worry that others perceive you as bossy.

9. You’re quick to solve a problem but usually come up with even better solutions later.

10. Since you often get what you work for, the rare rejection hits really hard.

11. You enjoy overcoming challenges, but it’s even better when someone else recognizes your accomplishments.

12. Setting goals for yourself is exciting, as long as you reach them.

13. You’re level headed in front of a group, but the minute you walk out of the room you wonder what everyone is saying.

14. Everything you do seems easy, but no one sees how nervous you actually are.

15. Keeping a conversation going comes naturally, but if you notice the other person is disinterested or judgey, it stings.

16. You always speak your mind, even if you may regret it later.

17. Dating is simultaneously a major confidence boost and a major ego check.

18. Even though you trust your ability to recover from mistakes, part of you is convinced you’ve ruined everything.

SHOP THE HERO COLLECTION

The Hero Collection by NYCountry Swag is inspired by the men and women of the Fire, Police and Military Departments across the country. A portion of sales from each purchase is donated to different foundations that support our heroes. We are dedicated to honoring their service and remembering their sacrifice.
