Ocean 2020 Tour

We had a feeling that 2020 was going to bring some great concert announcements and to kick things off nice and early in the year, Lady Antebellum just announced the OCEAN 2020 Tour to support their latest album, Ocean. Along for the duration of the nationwide trek is Jake Owen as direct support and Maddie and Tae as openers. The tour launches on May 21st in Albuquerque, NM at the Isleta Amphitheater and this run will conclude at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Making a stop at Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theatre on August 7th.

The trio filmed a hilarious video with Jake Owen and Maddie & Tae from Santa’s Pub trying to decide on which cover song they would all come together to perform on the tour. Watch the hilarious karaoke-style video below.

“After our Vegas residency and working on this record for the past year we are itching to get back out on the road and see how the fans gravitate to some of the deeper cuts off of OCEAN,” Charles Kelley said in a press release. “We’ve missed those huge crowd sing-alongs and we are looking forward to having Jake Owen and Maddie & Tae light up the stage every night. May can’t come fast enough.”

/in /by

Carly Pearce Call Me

In preparation for the Valentine’s Day release of her self-titled sophomore album, Carly Pearce has dropped a new song today (1/3), entitled “Call Me.”

Written by the late busbee, Emily Shackleton, and Little Big Town’s Phillip Sweet and Jimi Westbrook, the track is a fun up-tempo, sure to provide the perfect soundtrack to any girl’s night out. “For a good time/ Call me,” Pearce flirts through the lyrics. “Baby, you won’t be sorry/ Lay your hands and your kisses on me/ And I’ll make it all alright.”

“‘Call Me’ has the same sass and swagger that ‘Hide the Wine’ had,” Pearce revealed to Taste of Country. “From the moment I heard it, I knew I wanted to cut it. As a woman, I love songs that speak to our confidence!”

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 shared in a press release regarding her forthcoming album. ”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.”

NYCS First Impression Brett Kissel ‘Now Or Never’

/in , /by

Brett Kissel Now or Never

Just three days into the new year and country fans already have some new music to be excited about! Rising artist and Swag Session alum, Brett Kissel recently released his newest album Now or Never, which is comprised of eight unique cuts that showcase the singer’s talent in the best light.

The record begins with his latest single “Drink About Me.” Kissel explained a little bit about his inspiration for the track, as well as, sang the song for us, during our live interview back in October of this year. The song is the ideal introduction into the singer-songwriter’s artistry, and the play on words is the perfect lyrical touch to the heartbreaking breakup tune.

In the next track, Kissel relies on a rhythmic instrumental and a groovy beat to deliver “A Few Good Stories.” With a vibe similar to Thomas Rhett’s, Kissel shines on the upbeat track. The radio friendly jam has a simple message about having fun and living life to the fullest.

“I’m gonna soak up the sun / Keep the wind in my sails / Try to get to heaven while raising little hell / When it’s all said and done, I’ll know I lived it well / If I ain’t got nothing but a few good stories to tell”

In a similar vein, “Young Enough” reminds us to “love the life we live and live the life we love,” while we are young and can do whatever we want. Additionally, “She Drives Me Crazy” continues to mix catchy lyrics with an enticing backing track. Yet again, Kissel blends modern country with a smooth sound and relatable lyrics that any country fan can identify with.

Although all the songs off Kissel’s new project shine in their own right, “That’s Country Music” may one of the best. Listed as track number three, the song is an ode to what we all love, country music. The singer speaks from the heart in the honest and stripped-down track. Forgoing clichés, Kissel makes sure to name everything that he feels is part of country music, all while creating something that is at the heart of the genre, story-telling at it’s finest.

“It’s a never felt a heartbreak like this / That’s country music / That’s why we do it / It hits the heart and soul and just feels right / That’s country music / It pulls through it / It’s the ups and the down, the soundtrack of our lives / That’s country music.”

Continuing to showcase his undeniable talent, “Hummingbird” is as vulnerable as it gets. Eloquently named, the track explores the emotions associated with love and loss in the most poignant way. Referring to a lost love as a ‘hummingbird,’ Kissel laments singing, “some things are not meant to be,” and better yet, that sometimes it is a blessing to let someone go free.

The second to last song on the track “I’m Not Him I’m Not Her” features Kissel in a duet with female songstress, Christina Taylor. The two singers take turns singing verses, showcasing both the male and female perspectives as they try to make sense about how trust issues can impact a current relationship. Both the vocal delivery and the lyrical message are equally as impactful, vulnerable, and powerful. This is the song we never knew we always needed in country music!

“I’m tired of trying to find someone / smiling through the tears / when it’s all said and done / love cannot be trusted is the lesson that I learned / I’m not him / I’m not her.”

Finally, Kissel ends his creative record with a beautiful song called “Coffee With Her.” We learned from our Swag Session that the song blossomed from an interview that Johnny Cash gave with a publication about his version of paradise. Kissel took Cash’s incredibly insightful answer and created an equally as exquisite song. Although simple, the romantic lyrics are a standout and leave you wanting more.

As early fans and champions of Kissel, we are so excited to see how his music is received by county fans in the United States and hope that he achieves success here, as he already has had in Canada.

Now or Never 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.

Sam Hunt Releases A Studio Version of “Sinning With You”

/in /by

Everyone has their opinion on New Year’s resolutions. Some take no part in them, some try to stick to their new goals, and others go all in. Sam Hunt’s had one since Summer 2019: that he would be turning in his sophomore album January 1st.

It’s January 3rd now, and Hunt has stayed true to his word. The second official single off SH2, titled, “Sinning With You” was released at midnight. He premiered the song in concert, and NYCS was in attendance when he played it at New York’s Country 94.7’s Stars and Strings event. Watch the full video above.

The pensive ballad was co-written by Hunt, Emily Weisband, Paul DiGiovanni, and longtime collaborator John Osborne. It’s production is beautiful in a take-it-slow kind of way. It leans on guitars to guide the melody, and has a simple snap and kick drum to lead the rhythm. There are some pretty harmonies that flow through the choruses and into the verses and bridge. It’s much simpler and more stripped back than any of his previous singles in the past few years.

“It’s a commentary on growing up in the South and conflict with religion, being in a [serious] relationship before you’re married and all that comes with that,” Hunt revealed to Billboard in September. The lyrics are obviously so personal to Hunt, but they are clever and catchy while still remaining poetic. “Your body was baptized / So disenfranchised/I was your favorite confession” He sings in the first verse. “My past was checkered / Your spotless record was probably in jeopardy”. It’s very clear that it’s about that tug-and-war many have when they’re in the in-between of being young and growing up, a topic Hunt explored on his previous record.

“Sinning With You” is probably the first song of Hunt’s that directly deals with religion. He toyed with it on a few songs on Montevallo and mentioned that his wife’s dad is a pastor on songs like “Drinkin’ Too Much” (“I hope your dad still prays for me”), but it’s the first time he has dived into his childhood like that. While songs about one’s religious identity can be hit or miss, Hunt has given fans a rare window into his personal life and his youth. For that reason, this song does feel different than his other songs. It’s almost risky; but that’s the reason Hunt became popular: he’s never been afraid to “go there” and take those risks.

Melodically, this is one of Hunt’s strongest songs. It has a momentum to it that makes you want to focus on the song. The lyrics are really the center of the track, so the gentle melody that has been created works wonderfully.

It’s unclear what the rest of the record will be like once it comes out. He’s exploring different topics and different sounds in his new songs, and it’s definitely an album to keep your eyes and ears out for in 2020. There’s no doubt that he has a big year ahead of him.

To keep up with Sam Hunt, you can find him on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook. To find him on tour in 2020, go to his website linked here.

“Sinning With You” 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.

Morgan Wallen Kicks Off 2020 By Reminiscing in “This Bar”

/in , /by

Morgan Wallen This Bar

CMA New Artist of the Year nominee, Morgan Wallen uses the New Year and his new song “This Bar” to reflect on his past. In this track, written by himself, Ernest K, Charlie Handsome, Jackson Morgan and his friend HARDY, Wallen sings about the good and bad times and the lessons this particular bar has taught him over the years.

His first memory of the bar was his 21st birthday when he got too drunk on whiskey sours and almost got into a fight, leading him to be escorted out by the bouncer. From this, he learned how to control himself. Another story he shared was when he saw his ex, with whom he initially met at this bar, walk inside with another guy. This taught him how to cope with the breakups and how to get through the ‘moving on’ process.

Making mistakes and making new friends / I was growing up and nothing made sense / Learning how to live with a broken heart / I found myself in this bar

“Wrote this song with my buddies about some moments and times in my life that have made me who I am today,” Wallen wrote in a tweet on New Year’s Eve. “Some good, some bad, but all of ’em I can look back on and grin a little. Hope it makes you do the same.” The photo attached was of him with four other friends at a bar in 2014.

The first show of Wallen’s headlining Whiskey Glasses Roadshow Tour, was last night in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Along with that, he is joining Jason Aldean on his We Back Tour starting January 30th in South Carolina.

Since the release of his debut album If I Know Me in 2018, Wallen has released a cover of Jason Isbell’s “Cover Me Up” and featured on Diplo’s “Heartless” and two songs on HARDY’s Hixtape Vol. 1, “He Went to Jared” and “Turn You Down”. We might be in the midst of a big 2020 from Morgan Wallen.

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

NYCS Swag Spotlight: Tebey

/in , /by

Tebey

Continuing to shine our light on rising artists and talented singer-songwriters, our Swag Spotlight this week is Tebey. He is a creative that hails originally from just outside of Toronto, Canada with roots now firmly in Nashville, Tennessee for over a decade. The singer-songwriter chatted with us about his musical journey, his new single, and of course how he views the evolution of country music.

“I grew up listening to everything,” he tells us, naming country musicians like George Strait and Kenny Chesney as some of his top favorite country artists, adding, “But I also loved Boyz II Men, Nirvana and just kinda anything that was great. I have a very eclectic musical taste […]. I’ve always been a fan of music and I’m lucky enough to make it a career.”

In his several years in the industry, Tebey has found success working with many different artists all across the board, when it comes to genres. He has earned accolades as both a producer and a songwriter, working with artists like One Direction, Cher, Flo Rida, and even artists from the United Kingdom.

Fans can find Tebey’s eclectic experience and influences in his own music too. Although he identifies as a country artist, listeners can expect a unique sound and vibe from the budding artist. He shares, “I think music doesn’t really have borders anymore,” adding that streaming has helped artists and fans connect. “There’s a lot of great artists from Canada that are making music up there, but people here in the United States are able to get a hold of that music more easily than they were back of the day”

The genre-bending in country music is something that Tebey welcomes, agreeing with us that ‘good music is good music.’ The singer shared with us more about his experiences, backing up why he believes fans welcome the modern country sound and intermingling of genres. “I think now more than ever, your typical country music fans listen to more than one genre of music,” he explains. “I see it at my shows a lot, 22-year-old, 23-year-old kids, at my shows, I know for a fact that they are there because they’re a Tebey fan, but they’re also listening to Drake and ASAP Rocky.”

Tebey, even went on to say, “I think before country music wasn’t ‘quote on quote’ cool, but then you got artists like Taylor Swift and even a little while ago Rascal Flatts, people like that were making music that was crossing over. Thomas Rhett in particular is making music that is country, but it’s also reaching people outside of the genre.”

Like some of those cross-genre artists, Tebey is making music that fans from across the globe can relate to as well. Most recently, he released his new single “The Good Ones,” which is a duet with songstress, Marie-Mai. In the few short months, since it has been released, the song has garnered close to 2 million streams across platforms.

“I sat down with my co-writers that day in Nashville, and we started randomly painting the picture of this relationship and this girl driving in this Toyota Tacoma,” he started to tell us, adding, “We eventually ended up settling on the title “The Good Ones.” Tebey feels that the song showcases a universal message, stating “I think a lot of people are going to be able to relate to the lyric because we’ve all had relationships that have ended, we all have had relationships that we have lost.” Interestingly enough, the artist keeps songs close to his heart before releasing them, and “The Good Ones” is a track that still felt special years after it was written.

Before we let Tebey go, we had to check in with what he has planned for the new year. 2020 will be a year of getting his music out there and touring across the world. He already has plans for a tour in Canada and Europe, but shares that he might have to plan a United States tour too! Look out for new music coming towards the end of February in the meantime.

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

“The Good Ones” 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.
