Corey Kent Drops New Song “Girl I Never Met”

Corey Kent’s new song, “Girl I Never Met,” is out now, March 7th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

Corey Kent has made quite the name for himself in the country music world since he kickstarted his career! The recording artist continues to release music that is captivating and fresh. Today, the singer-songwriter releases his newest song to date. “Girl I Never Met” is officially out now!

Written by Kent with Casey Brown, Jordan Minton, and Travis Wood, “Girl I Never Met,” is a true blend of rock and country. According to the singer, “it sounds like rock n roll. It feels like country heartbreak. It’s not the one that got away… this is about wishing you never met ‘em in the first place.” While many country heartbreak songs are about missing the person you are with, in this one, Kent is trying to do whatever he can to erase the girl that hurt him from his mind and heart.

“When you walked in, hey I woulda walked right out // Got the truck outta Dodge, gone in a gravel lot dust cloud // I woulda closed my tab ‘steada puttin’ you on it // Slipped out the back before we got to talkin’ // Hit some other spot, head back to the house // If I’da known how it was all gonna go down // Damn… // You wouldn’t be runnin’ wild up in my head // Wearin’ nothin’ but the sunrise in my bed // I wouldn’t be losin’ sleep replayin’ them // Chevy Tahoe taillights burnin’ red // The whiskey wish I would of won’t cut it // It is what it is, but / Man, what I wouldn’t give to turn the girl I can’t forget // into a girl I never met”

“Girl I Never Met” is an instant ear worm. The song pulls you in from the first line, so we’re sure fans are going to be listening again and again!

Tyler Rich: ‘Hello California’ – Album Review

Tyler Rich shares his sophomore album, Hello California, officially out now, March 7th on all streaming platforms. Learn more and listen to the new album below.

For Tyler Rich, his new album, Hello California, out now, represents a shift back to his musical and personal roots. Born and raised in the Golden State, Rich lends those influences to the follow up to his 2023 EP, I Know You Do.

Produced by Californians Brad Hill and Lalo Guzman, the independent project features ten new tracks, nine of which Rich co-wrote along with the likes of Eric Paslay, Parker Welling, Steven Lee Olsen, and more.

“This album has been a long time coming, and it’s my first chance to release music straight from the heart, with no limits,” shared Rich in a statement. “After ten years in Nashville, I’m grateful for the lessons I’ve learned, the relationships I’ve built, and the success that came from navigating the industry. Now, as an independent artist, I finally get to take the reins and do things my way.”

The album sets the stage with its titular track, a lush and anthemic alt-pop-country love song dedicated to his home state. Here, he shines on his love for both California and a special woman as he flexes his powerful voice. “Hello California, the sunshine on my face,” He sings. “Girl you feel like home when you look at me that way.”

“Whiskey Go Bad” is an immediate standout, crafted perfectly for a memorable moment in a live show. It’s a twangy and fun countrified uptempo and a stomping, shanty-esque celebration of living life in the moment. “Life’s too good to let the whiskey go bad,” He proclaims on the lively and jovial track.

Similarly, “Cigarettes (Lie to Me)” is another driving uptempo with its roaring and funky guitars that pair perfectly with a call and response chorus that is going to set live audiences on fire, chanting “hey, hey, hey!”

Rich perfectly toes the line between lovelorn and heartbreak ballads, shining on the romantic “Right Tonight,” the wedding-ready “Drive Me Home,” the impassioned “Gets Me Every Time,” and the heartbreaking “What Do I Know?” “What Do I Know?” finds him dealing with his heartbreak, while “Gets Me” reminds a woman in his life of all the things he loves about her.

“Gets Me Every Time is about those moments in life that never get old,” Rich explains. “Whether it’s a nostalgic memory or a moment with someone you love, the song reflects those unforgettable experiences. Maybe it’s hearing an old song, visiting your hometown, or spending time with lifelong friends. The lyrics draw a parallel to how a romantic partner’s every action hits you the same way, over and over, just like those cherished memories. It’s about that timeless kind of love that feels new every time.”

Meanwhile, “All the Small Things” is a reminder that life is made great by its little moments, and not money or fame. “You can lose it all in a New York minute// Makin’ that money won’t make you a livin’// Time runs out but you can make it count,” He proclaims. “With the right kind of memories// You can have it all In the pictures up on the wall// And I hope I fill the bigger picture frame// With all the small things.”

Rich continues his introspection on songs like “Give Up To Get It” and “Home We Choose,” both creating special moments on the album. The latter finds him examining the sacrifices made for his success, while longing for more time to enjoy his life and career. Alternatively, “Home We Choose” is a clever way to look at where you settle your roots as an adult. It breathes fresh air into the idea of a hometown song, as he looks at where we choose to place our roots.

“We’re all looking for some somewhere to be found // A steady place where we can plant our roots // We’re all lost until we find some solid ground // Front porch step where we can set our boots // Whether it’s states away or two doors down // A place that’s old or new // We all got a hometown and a home we choose”

On Hello California, Tyler Rich returns to his roots, releasing a polished collection of anthemic country and poignant ballads.

And then one day, your friends come over and you sit as a family on the back porch in the garden. And when they compliment the roses near the gate or the cherry tomatoes speckled about in the pasta, you get the pleasure of realizing, ‘I grew that, I put love, time and belief into something, and it paid off.’”

Noah Thompson Releases Brand New Song “What You’re Made Of”

Noah Thompson’s new song, “What You’re Made Of” is out now, March 7th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand-new track below.

Ever since Noah Thompson graces our screen on American Idol, it was clear that the singer-songwriter had a story tell and music to create. The rising star has proved time and time again that he will always create music that represent who he is as an artist. Thompson’s newest single, out today, “What You’re Made Of” is another incredible example of that.

The new song is raw, real, and vulnerable. Throughout the track, Thompson honestly depicts what it’s like to grapple with the devil on your shoulder, ultimately, eventually, to let the angel win. In a relatable way, the song is a message to all of us that sometimes life is messy, but ultimately a little grit is just going to make us exactly who we are meant to be.

“I’ve let the lies inside my mind, get the best of me // I try to fight but I’m my own worst enemy // I’m learning day by day // All good things take time // You can’t lose your faith // Just hold on tight // The path to heaven ain’t’ payed in gold // The devil knows where you wanna go // Get knocked down, dust yourself off // Keep on walking // Crash and burn // love and learn // Ain’t worth a damn if it don’t heart // One day you’re flying // The very next you’re falling // I guess what doesn’t break you // Sure is bound to make you // find out what you’re made of”

Thompson is the real deal. He knows where he comes from and he knows where he is going. “What You’re Made Of” is a perfect example of that.

Mackenzie Carpenter: ‘Hey Country Queen’ – Debut Album Review

Mackenzie Carpenter releases her debut album, Hey Country Queen, officially out now, March 7th on all streaming platforms. Learn more and listen to the new album below.

With the kind of voice that immediately draws you in and the kind of lyrics that immediately grab your attention, Mackenzie Carpenter is ready to make her debut with Hey Country Queen. Already hugely successful as a writer on songs like Lily Rose’s “Villain” and Megan Moroney’s “I’m Not Pretty,” the undeniable Carpenter is ready to take a step forward as an artist.

On her debut album with The Valory Music Co, the Georgia native reveals herself as a true force to be reckoned with. Carpenter co-wrote each of the album’s thirteen tracks, and it’s truly representative of a young woman in her prime. “This album has been a long time coming, and I’m so excited to finally share these songs with you. I’ve lived with them for years, and now it’s time to set them free,” shares Carpenter. “Hey Country Queen captures the essence of girlhood, heartbreak and love, and I can’t wait for you to hear it.”

Carpenter kicks things off with the bluesy and twangy “Dozen Red Flags,” a tongue-in-cheek look at a dude whose good qualities overshadow the fact that he was a walking red flag. “This one’s for the girls who’ve ever fallen for the guy with more red flags than green,” says Carpenter. “‘Dozen Red Flags’ is flirty, fun and all about knowing he’s trouble but diving in anyway—because let’s face it, he’s cute. The song covers a little heartbreak, a lot of lessons and a fun debrief with your girls.”

“But, man, he was cute and, damn, he was funny // My brother thought he was the man // If violets are blue, then I’m such a dummy // To think he’d have roses in hand I would’ve settled for tulips or daisies // I ain’t picking petals ’cause all that he gave me // Was reasons for running And a couple dozen red flags”

“I Wish You Would” is an immediate standout, a perfect dancehall duet that allows Carpenter to riff off of Midland’s Mark Wystrach as they play a pair of fated lovers, unable to resist each other amongst the promises of neon lights and endless drinks. “‘I Wish You Would (ft. Midland)’ is a fun, flirty tune about wanting someone to be more forward, quit guessing and make the first move. It’s about craving a spark with someone and longing for more than a few glances with that person you’ve noticed from across the bar,” shares Carpenter. “Midland has always been a dream collaboration, and they bring a smooth classic vibe to the song.” 

“I loved ‘I Wish You Would’ from the jump when Mackenzie and Jamie Moore sent it our way. When I went to lay my part, I was thrown back in time to the era of Conway and Lorretta Lynn and Kenny and Dolly iconic duets,” adds Wystrach. “The melodies are hypnotic, and the soaring hook is pure Country gold. The structure of the song is non-symmetrical, so it keeps revealing new sonic surprises leaving you wanting to hear it again and again.”

Carpenter also shines on ballads that are full of ache and heartache, evidenced on songs like “Red Wine Blue,” “Jesus, I’m Jealous,” “Guys Like You,” and “The Other Side.” While “Red Wine Blue” was inspired by a message from Dolly Parton that came to her in a dream, “Guys Like You” has her musing about a “guy’s girl” who everyone loves. “The Other Side” is a whimsical wonder that finds her dreaming what a certain love would be like, while “Jesus, I’m Jealous” is a gorgeous ballad that finds her longing for love, watching it all around her.

“But, Jesus, I’m jealous, just had to tell you // Watchin’ the two of ’em head over heels // I guess I was hopin’ I wouldn’t be lonely // And maybe by now I would know how that feels // He’s spinnin’ her ’round like she’s Cinderella // I shouldn’t be starin’, but hell, I can’t help it // Jesus, I’m jealous”

While many of the album’s ballads center around heartache, “Country Queen” and “Only Girl” tell very different stories. “Only Girl” is a sparse and poignant ballad that’s ready for a wedding song or Instagram post, celebrating the love of a man who treats a woman right.

“He looks at me like the only star in his sky // He holds me tight like he’ll never say goodbye // I know there’s millions and billions of people // Living in this world But he loves me like I’m the only girl // l Like I’m the only girl”

While Carpenter shines on ballads, she can also throw down a countrified romp with the best of them. Highlights include “Don’t Mess with Exes,” which finds her channeling her inner Miranda Lambert, while “Sound of a Heartbreak” is a driving and catchy up tempo and “Gowgirl LIke Me” channels a bit of hip-hop-meets-bro-country. “Boots On” is the perfect country pop romp, flirty and seductive as she entices her man to come home, promising that she ain’t got nothin’ but her boots on.

“Gone Fishin’” is a gritty, 80’s country story song of the best type, finding her serving up a bit of vengeance on the lake. “He’s gone fishing out in the dark // Wasn’t hard to fit him in the trunk of my car // Had to scrub down the dock and his tackle box // Used a whole damn gallon of Clorox,” She muses. “He’s gone fishing I’m at the bar // Perfect alibi drinking PBR //  Nobody even knows he’s missing, Bet he’s wishing //  He’d never gone fishing”

Inspired by the country queens that paved the way for her, Mackenzie Carpenter’s Hey Country Queen is the perfect introduction to the rising superstar who is clearly one of the genre’s next big queens

Who Is Erin Alvey? The Story Behind Her Journey to Country Music

Who is Erin Alvey? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about her journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

who-is-erin-alvey

Erin Alvey

Quick Facts:
Full Name – Erin Alvey
Birthdate – January 29th
Hometown – South Georgia
Current City – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical Influences – Paul McCartney, Lewis Capaldi, Shania Twain
The Beginning:

Every artist has their own unique story. This week’s spotlight artist, Erin Alvey is one of those artists. We chatted with the newcomer about her love for music, her journey, and what she has planned moving forward in her blossoming career, as she navigates music, motherhood, and her dreams.

“I was born and raised in South Georgia,” began Alvey. “I grew up loving music, but just as a casual listener, I was really into sports and playing sports. Music was something that something that kind of fell into my lap a little bit, I started getting into it in high-school, I started singing a little bit here and there, but then I really showed interest in college when sports were no longer apart of my life as much. I started playing guitar and I grew up playing piano, so I had music in my life, but not as intensely as I decided to jump into it in college.”

Despite loving music, including Irish musicians like Enya and artists like Paul McCartney and Alan Jackson, Alvey was not focused on music until college, when music kind of revealed itself as an important outlet.

“I kind of showed a little interest in music, and my cousin who was in the boy band O-Town, from MTV’s Making The Band, he said, “I’ll take you to Nashville if you write five songs, I’ll take you to Nashville to record an album or an EP, and we can get you started.” So I wrote songs in about two weeks, about five songs, and then he took me to Nashville, and that’s where my story in music starts.”

The Turning Point:

With the support of her cousin, Jacob Underwood and her parents, Alvey decided to give music a real shot “My dad, at the time, sat on the front porch with me and wrote love songs about random things. […] My sweet dad saw I had a dream and he’s so great with word crafting, and he saw I had a dream and he sat with me, and helped me write my first song. He didn’t have any music background, so I was just plucking away on the guitar trying to come up with the melody, but it’s so fun looking back at the origin of it all,” shared the singer, reminiscing about writing her first few songs.

Eventually, she headed to Nashville to record her first project with her cousin’s support. “Believe it or not, [my cousin] Jacob helped me find country. I was born and raised South Georgia, and it kinda made sense. I’ve done a little bit in the pop realm since then, but country is my roots, and I keep coming back to it. When I write, my style of writing is more country. It was the fit that made the most sense.”

Alvey continued making trips back and forth to Nashville throughout college. My parents begged met to stay, and said I could spend my summers traveling to Nashville and whatever I needed, but really wanted me to finish my degree, so my first four years, I was actually in college, during balancing my career,” she shared, adding, “After college, I started really touring. I toured the southeast for a while and many years I spent doing that up until COVID.”

Like many of us, the pandemic forced Alvey to look at her life and career and make decisions that fit who she was becoming and the dreams that were taken shape. “I decided to reevaluate my life as an artist and even my artistry, and what I wanted to write. I kind of felt like I was touring so much, and I became a glorified cover band, I was proud of what I was writing, but it wasn’t really anything super substantial, so I took that time to stay back here in Nashville and write with songwriters in town, and write with songwriters in town.”

Today:

Flash forward to today, Alvey is finally sharing the music she worked so hard on. “I did that for many years, and during that time, I met my husband. And we got married, had a wedding, had a baby, and now I decided that I’m going to start releasing this work that I’ve been working so hard on the last couple of years.”

Most recently, the singer-songwriter released the first single off her upcoming project Questions + Answers. Alvey’s  single is called “End Badley”, which was inspired by love with a new twist.

“‘End Badly’ is the first track of ‘Q&A’ as a whole, so Questions + Answers. The whole EP is based off the quote “there’s years that ask questions and there’s years that answer” and “End Badly” is definably a question year, and luckily I married my husband who I’m talking about in the song, but when I first met him and we first started dating, I remember thinking “I really, really like this guy. He’s special. He’s different.” And I was horrified actually. Instead of a typical love song, it’s kind of a darker take on the idea of what it’s like when you first get into a relationship with somebody. […] It’s like if you’re going to end this at some point, please don’t be the one that got away.”

For Alvey, it’s important that her music represents her as a person and as an artist. She wants her music to tell authentic stories and to feel like her. The upcoming project will feature six songs that showcase that “With the new EP coming out, there are a lot of songs that are happy-go-lucky love songs, but there’s also a lot of heartbreaks because just because I’m in this side of life now, doesn’t mean that I didn’t experience every bit of what it’s like in your 20s, falling in love and having your heart broken and the excitement and sadness of it all. That’s what the EP is just a jumble of the past ten years of my life.”

Fans can look forward to the project, as well as, hopefully some shows later this summer. Stay tuned!

Jordan Davis Goes Number One at Country Radio with “I Ain’t Sayin'”

Jordan Davis earns his eighth number-one song at country radio this week with his single, “I Ain’t Sayin’.” Learn all the details here.

We have said it time and time again, Jordan Davis is one of the most underrated singer-songwriters in the country music genre. Davis continues to crank out hit after hit. Most recently, the singer secured his seventh number one single at country radio with “Tucson Too Late.” Today the singer-songwriter earns his eight number one single at country radio with “I Ain’t Sayin’.”

shares his brand new song, “I Ain’t Sayin’,” after playing it live for fans at MetLife Stadium on July 20th, 2024.

“I Ain’t Sayin’” is arguably one of Davis’ most impressive up-tempo songs. He even shared the song live for fans at MetLife Stadium on July 20th, 2024 prior to its release. Much like his debut singles, “Singles You Up,” the number one song leans into the bad-boy persona, while still having that sweet and confident charisma that we all have grown to love from the now, family-man. We knew “I Ain’t Sayin'” was an instant hit!

“I ain’t sayin’ I’m an angel, baby if you can’t tell // No I ain’t the take-you-home to mama type // And I ain’t sayin’ he’s a bad guy, all I know is that guy // Must’ve up and lost his mind tonight // Cause you’re down to the ice in that drink // He didn’t buy, I’m here and he’s MIA // That ain’t no kind of love, I’m not sayin’ I’m the one // I’m just sayin’ he sure as hell ain’t // He sure as hell ain’t”

Congrats to Jordan Davis and his team on his eighth number one at country radio! We are excited to see what single hits the radio airwaves next.

Dasha Shares New Song “Not At This Party”

Dasha shares new song “Not At This Party,” out now, February 28th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new track below.

Dasha has emerged as a star in the making. The Warner Records recording artist lays her heart out on each and every release. Whether she crafts a more upbeat song or a quiet ballad, every song is distinctly “Dasha.” Today, the songstress is sharing quite possibly her best song to date, “Not At This Party.”

The infectious new song feels like a hit after just one listen! “Not At This Party” conveys the message of feeling lost after a break-up and still swept up in the other person; despite, the fun all around you. The song is catchy and deep, while still fun to listen to. Dasha infuses her signature charisma and grit into the line-dancing ready song!

“Just stay, don’t leave // so they can’t see // What’s steaming up the glass in my hand // I’m not at this party // I’m back in your backseat // You’re pulling it over // You just had to have me // I can’t hear this music // Cause I’m hearing you, yeah // You’re so in love with me, but right now you need to work on yourself // and they think I moved now with my life // that I’m having a good night // Out here on this dance floor // just like everybody // but nobody here knows // just how bad you got me // I’m not at this party”

Dasha continues to prove why she’s an artist to look out for. “Not At This Party” is the perfect addition to her growing music catalog.
