There are so many promising new artists coming up through the ranks these days, and one of our favorites released a new single Friday, November 1st. “Click” is Madison Kozak’s second release to all-female record label Songs & Daughters, a new label created by the superwoman songwriter that is Nicolle Galyon in partnership with Big Loud Records. It’s the perfect song to get anyone out of their cold-weather blues.
The song is about the in-between of a blooming relationship- it’s too soon to be serious, but Kozak feels like the relationship just “clicks”- hence the title of the song. In a recent press release, it was described as “that fated – click – moment with a potential love interest, the butterflies-kinda-feeling tune”, and that could not be a more accurate statement.
Kozak collaborated with Big Loud Records producer Joey Moi and writers Mark Holman and Laura Veltz to create the poppy song. There are stacks of guitar, harmonic vocals, and catchy drums that reel the listener right in. For those who don’t know Kozak, there’s almost no way for people not to become a fan; her sound is reminiscent of Kelsea Ballerini with catchy hooks like Morgan Wallen offers.
Madison Kozak will be on tour this fall with Morgan Evans. To find out if she’s playing in a city near you, visit her website. New York fans can catch the show on December 7th at Bowery Ballroom.
“Click” 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.

For newlywed Carly Pearce, her first Valentine’s Day as a married gal is going to be extra sweet, she announced this morning that on February 14th, 2020 her new album will be released.
“So much has happened to me in the last few years. My fans have changed my life and given my music a home in this world. I grew up, let go of things that needed to go, fell in love, fell on my face, went through some hell and found ‘Carly’ fully for the first time EVER. I’m so excited to announce my sophomore, self-titled album will be released on VALENTINE’S DAY!!!” Pearce shares in a press release” This record is dedicated to my late producer busbee. It’s the last full record he made and one that I am so very proud of – Thank you for bringing these songs to life. I can’t wait to honor you and hear/see how people connect to what we created.” Hit producer and songwriter busbee lost his battle with Glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer, back in September.
In her latest interview with Build Series for Yahoo, Pearce shares that there will be a song on the new record with her husband, fellow country singer Michael Ray and the story behind writing her current single, which features Lee Brice, “I Hope Your Happy Now”.

Adam Doleac enlisted some of his celebrity friends for the music video for his song “Famous.” If you’re a fan of the dating show, The Bachelor on ABC, you might remember Colton Underwood from a few seasons ago or maybe the fence jumping scene rings a bell? He ultimately ended up with Cassie Randolph and neither of them hide the fact that they love country music.
The up-and-coming artist told People that when he originally put “Famous” out, Randolph and Underwood posted a video of them singing along to the song and tagged Doleac. After seeing it and thinking about what direction to go with the music video, he thought it was only right to ask them to star in it.
“Cassie and I often think about how we would have met each other outside of the bachelor, would I buy her a drink? Would I bump into her on the beach? Would she play hard to get? (Of course) — in this video that drops today it tells a story that we love so much, it’s about not doing the predictable thing, it’s about taking a chance and being bold. I love you @cassierandolph & want to thank @adamdoleac for trusting us for representing this song,” Underwood wrote on Instagram.
The music video centers around Underwood, an actor, filming scenes for a movie but he can’t stop looking at one of the personal assistants off to the side, Randolph. In every scene, she catches his eye which goes right along with the lyrics to the song:
“Girl you look famous / Like South Beach or Vegas / All up in the paper, in the supermarket aisle / That dress on you I swear / I know you from somewhere / Gotta know what your name is / ‘Cause God you look famous when you smile”
After filming, Underwood and Randolph ultimately share a dance in the empty studio but just like any movie, there’s a plot twist. The video ends with Doleac behind the counter of a grocery store where Randolph is checking out but a few magazines with Underwood’s face catch her eye. When she finally leaves, she passes Underwood as he’s entering and you realize she made up the entire movie scene in her head and it’s all a dream.

Our Swag Spotlight this week, Brennley Brown has been in love with music and performing for as long as she can remember. At only seventeen years old, she has honed her craft and is ready to reintroduce herself to the world on her own terms with music that she hopes inspires others and clearly tells her own unique story.
Growing up in Apple Valley, on a ranch and with classic country musicians such as Merle Haggard and Dolly Parton, blasting through the speakers, Brown discovered her love for music at an early age. At just five years old, the natural-born talent mesmerized the audience at her kindergarten talent show with her rendition of Faith Hill’s “Mississippi Girl.” Her parents knew then that they had an entertainer on their hands. She continued to play shows and perform at open mic nights throughout her childhood, both singing and playing guitar, but it wasn’t until her mom got sick with Lyme disease that the songstress knew how important music truly was to her.
“For me, that’s when music became something more than what I just listened to on the radio or played in my dad’s truck. It became something that became very important to me. It was a safe place, a sanctuary for me during that time. Really my faith, my music, and my family were the there top things in my life.”
Continuing to rely on music and her family, Brown landed different gigs in the industry. Since the age of twelve, she went back and forth to Nashville to write songs, as well as, worked in voiceover and acting for big networks, such as Dreamworks, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel. Currently, she voices ‘Leyla’ on the Netflix series “Dragon Rescue Riders.”
During that time, Brown was invited to audition for the twelfth season of NBC’s The Voice, where she found herself making it further than she ever thought. She reflected on that experience, during the interview, calling it a “crazy, crazy experience,” for her at just fourteen years old, adding “I was on Team Blake [Shelton] and then stolen by Gwen Stefani. It’s such a great experience, a great stepping stone in my journey.” The star in the making made it to the finals of her season and garnered the recognition she deserved for her unique talent.
As an artist, Brown shared with us that her goal is to bring awareness to the disease her mother battled, as well as, to the healing power of music. “Music is healing. […] Music can make you feel happy, sad, it may bring back a memory, but it’s so healing in so many different ways.” She decided to wait three years before releasing her own music to the world because she wanted to hone in on her craft and what she truly wanted to say in her music.
Finally, just last week, on November 1st, Brown released her debut single “Keep Coming Back” to the world. The song was carefully cultivated with influences from an array of genres, ultimately culminating in a fresh new, different, and uniquely enticing sound. For Brown, the inspiration for the track stems from her own experiences in her life sharing with us a little bit about how the song came to fruition.
“I remember there was something kinda weighing on my heart. For me being 17 years old, I’m kinda in that place, where I can go to college, where I can take more years and really dive into my education, and kinda put music aside for a moment, and choose maybe the smarter path,” but ultimately the singer reveals, “I just get pulled back to music. When you’re given a gift or a calling in or your life or a dream, it’s gonna have its challenges, its up and downs, its trials that you’re going to go through, but having that dream inside you- it’s not there for no reason, like it’s going to continue to be a part of you, no matter what trial or what thing you have to overcome, you’re going to keep coming back to it, and keep pushing, and keep working towards your dream.”
Brown’s unique perspective and her powerful voice will continue to take center stage in her next single, which will be released on January 24th, her 18th birthday. On top of that, she is anticipating that her debut EP will drop in March of 2020. Expect to hear a lot coming soon from this rising artist, as she makes her mark on the industry!
“Keep Coming Back” 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.

One of the most decorated country artists of her generation, Miranda Lambert just released her seventh studio album entitled Wildcard. The record is the lyricist’s homecoming back to her iconic sound and clever song-writing. To celebrate the longevity of her career and the release of the new record, Lambert and her band headed to iHeartRadio theater in downtown Manhattan to celebrate with an intimate group of fans. NYCountry Swag was there to celebrate her monumental feat.
The first thirty minutes was hosted by radio DJ, Brooke Taylor, as the songs and interview were broadcasted live on the radio station. Taylor and Lambert talked about her success as a female country artist, her favorite songs off the new project, as well as, the songstress’ responsibility as a mentor to other female artists in the industry, which she embraces fully.
During the broadcast, Lambert sang “Mama’s Broken Heart,” and three songs off the new LP, including “It All Comes Out in The Wash,” “Bluebird,” and “Tequila Does.” Although all four songs are fun and beautiful in their own right, “Bluebird” was easily the crowd’s favorite, illustrating Lambert’s sentiment that the song is “More of a feeling. It’s just special.”
Lambert really came into her own on stage, breathing a sigh of relief, when the recorded version of the segment was over. She delivered a killer thirty-minute set, playing several songs that spanned her career. According to the singer, “the fans’ feedback [is] all that matters.” Clearly her true fans approved, as the entire crowd sang each and every cut she sang at the top of their lungs.
The performance included songs like “Kerosene,” “Mess with My Head,” “Gunpowder and Lead,” “Heart Like Mine,” and one of her classics “Airstream Song.” Some special moments came towards the end of her set when she coined her new song “White Trash,” her ‘biography’. The song personified Lambert to a T, and fans clearly loved it. “Automatic,” another fan-favorite, had the intimate room feeling like it was Madison Square Garden.
Overall, Lambert proved, yet again, that she does it all for the fans and the betterment of women in country music. She’s a complete professional, and we have no doubt that she will find even more success with her upcoming ‘2020 Wildcard Tour’, kicking off this January in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Wildcard 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.

On October 29th, rising star Kane Brown’s first daughter was born. On November 1st, just three days after the birth of Kingsley Rose, he released the heartfelt tribute, “For My Daughter”, written in the style of a letter for his little girl. “I wrote this song when I found out we were officially going to become parents. I meant every word, and cannot wait to watch her grow up,” Brown shared in a press release.”
He first teased the song on October 7th, explaining to fans that it would be released as soon as his daughter was born. There was an immediate response: 7,000 comments and counting on the first teaser. For the past 24 hours, Brown has been trending on iTunes, listeners eagerly awaiting the arrival of the track.
It did not disappoint. The song is co-written by Brown with frequent collaborator Chase McGill and songwriting legend Tom Douglas, and the verses are like a conversation just between Brown and his daughter.
“And not just say I love you but show you what it means/I grew up without a dad, I’m gonna be the best one I can be,” he sings on the first verse. The chorus is where he promises Kingsley that he’s going to break the cycle and drive down his path, telling her that history doesn’t have to repeat itself.
The production on “For My Daughter” is stunning. The song opens with swelling harmonic fiddles and guitar, and it transcends through the verses and choruses. It’s produced by Dann Huff, who has mastered the sound of 2019 style neo-country. It works wonderfully paired with the content of the song, as to let the lyrics and story shine the most throughout.
“For My Daughter” is the most personal, confessional song Brown’s released, and yet there’s nothing too on-the-nose about it. It’s touching, thoughtful & just the right amount of personality mixed with universality. This song may or may not become a radio hit, but it will always be the first song Brown wrote for Kingsley, and that has priceless value and longevity.
To keep up with Kane Brown, you can find him on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. To catch him on tour, go to his website linked here.
“For My Daughter” 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.
“For My Daughter” Lyrics:
Someone to play catch with out back in the yard
To pick up the pieces of your first broken heart
Someone to say slow down when you turn sixteen
I grew up without a dad I’m gonna be the best one I can be
Someone to scare the monsters, when it’s dark in your room
Someone to put their foot down when you want a tattoo
Not just say I love you but show you what it means
I grew up without a dad I’m gonna be the best one I can be
They say dad’s are supposed to shape you and in a way I guess mine did
I knew what I wouldn’t do if I ever had a kid
They say history repeats itself well I guess that’s up to me
I grew up without a dad I’m gonna be the best one I can be
Someone to let you fall down and teach you how to get back up
Teach you how to be sweet like mamma and how to be tough
I’ll never be perfect but sure as those lines are pink
I grew up without a dad I’m gonna be the best one I can be
(Repeat chorus)
I can’t change the past but the past has sure changed me
I grew up without a dad I’m gonna be the best one I can be
Yeah I’m gonna be a dad and I’m gonna be the best one I can be
