Kasey Tyndall Releases Poignant New Single, “Middle Man”

Kasey Tyndall just released an honest and emotive new song titled “Middle Man” which reflects on growing up with divorced parents. Available now, May 21st, on all streaming platforms, take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new song.

There are few things we love more than a badass female in country music! Singer-songwriter Kasey Tyndall fits the bill. A long-time Nashville artist, performing with the all-female group the Song Suffragettes and writing with prolific songwriters in the industry, Tyndall has finally been given her chance to shine. Today the singer released a brand new song, “Middle Man.”

Written with fellow country music badass and singer-songwriter, Lainey Wilson, “Middle Man” is a true experience about growing up with divorced parents. Although not intended to be a sad song about divorce, there are definitely elements of the song that will feel a bit tender for those who have experienced the heartbreak of a parent’s split. According to Tyndall though, she hopes it reminds listeners that you are influenced by where you come from regardless of what your family dynamics look like.

“I was too young to understand // I was a little girl // And the middle man // I got a taste of rock n roll // Swear I learned to talk to Jesus // And I made best friends with the road // I got real good // I got real good at leaving”

We appreciate the songstress’ grit, honesty, and integrity that are so evident on this track. “Middle Man” is one of those songs that everyone will tip their hats to, mainly for its pure honesty. Of course, Tyndall’s voice also shines, showcasing her vulnerability at the same time. She is definitely one to look out for!

Lauren Davidson Releases Brand New Song “Thinking About You”

Lauren Davidson’s new song, “Thinking About You” is available now, May 14th, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new song.

Lauren Davidson's new song, "Thinking About You" is available now, May 21st, on all streaming platforms

We love supporting our local New York/New Jersey country artists, and Lauren Davidson is one of our favorites. Fresh off the heels of dropping her fiery single “BACKFIRE,” the songstress keeps the momentum going with her newest jam, a song called “Thinking About You.”

Bringing her killer vocals and sassy personality to centerstage, Davidson speaks her truth on her new single. According to the songstress, the song was inspired by a real-life breakup. “Thinking About You” embodies all the feelings we feel, when we go through a break-up and are over missing that person. Allowing her powerful boss vibes to come out, the singer confidently decides that she is done wasting her time thinking about an ex.

“Baby, You know you drive me crazy // But I won’t let that phase me // Cause it’s a waste of time // Maybe, I was just too blind to see, you were playing hide and seek // Well love’s a gamble and  I rolled the dice // Guess what I’m finally through // Thinking about you”

The anthemic sounds of the new song is one of our favorite things about it and about Davidson’s talent as a whole. The song is the perfect jam for anyone who is needing a wake-up call to really start healing and move on from a past relationship. If you need a pick-me-up, just add “Thinking About You” to your girl-power anthems playlist!

HARDY Releases Cover of Puddle of Mudd’s Song, “BLURRY”

HARDY’s new cover of Puddle of Mudd’s, “BLURRY” is available now, May 21st, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the song.

Tapping into his Rock influences, singer-songwriter and one of our favorites, HARDY, decided to release his own version of “BLURRY” with a lyric video to go with it! First made famous by rock band, Puddle of Mudd, “BLURRY” is one of those songs that every music lover has heard at least once. HARDY’s version commemorates the 20th anniversary of the track, releasing under Big Loud Records Rock/Alternative imprint, Big Loud Rock.

HARDY has always been one of those artists that we believe can sing anything, and this cover proves it. Tapping into the grittier side of his voice, the singer shares the angst that we all feel when we listen to the song. It will be interesting to see how country music fans relate to this side of HARDY.

“You could be my someone // You could be my scene // You know that I’ll protect you // From all of the obscene // I wonder what you’re doin’ // Imagine where you are // There’s oceans in between us // But that’s not very far”

HARDY has always been open about wanting to collaborate with artists across different genres, so we’d love to see more killer collaborations from him, as we anticipate a possible new volume of Hixtape. Until then, fans can look forward to HARDY performing this cover live, when he opens for Jason Aldean on the ‘Back In The Saddle Tour 2021’ this summer.

Artist to Watch, Lily Rose Releases New Song “Remind Me Of You”

Lily Rose’s new song, “Remind Me Of You” is out now, May 21st, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new track.

Newcomer, Lily Rose is already a bonafide superstar according to TikTok users, and pretty much anybody who takes a second to give her music a listen. The singer went viral with snippets of her song “Villain” time and time again, hitting over 1 million views in only thirteen hours. Following the recent release of her song “Overnight Sensation,” Rose debuted her latest track “Remind Me Of You,” out today.

Continuing to allow fans access to the more vulnerable parts of her, Rose shares a story of love and love loss on “Remind Me Of You.” As the singer grapples with the all too familiar feeling of wanting to get over someone, but not being able to shake your feelings for them, she delivers a song that feels catchy and relatable, yet deeply personal.

“She don’t remind me of you // You think that that was a good thing // It’s sad, but it’s true // Should be cool, but it just ain’t // Girl you were all that I wanted and that’s why falling in love with her is so hard to do // She don’t remind me of you”

Rose shared in a recent press release that “Remind Me Of You” is her favorite song that she released so far, and we can see why. The melody is instantly stuck in your head after just one listen, and you can definitely feel what Rose is agonizing over on the track.

It is only a matter of time that more and more fans catch on to Rose’s one-of-a-kind talent. Her soulful vocals and vulnerable lyrics are exactly what country music needs. We are already big fans of the singer, and cannot wait to see how the mainstream fanbases react to her music!

Jordan Davis Releases Brand New EP, ‘Buy Dirt’ – Full Review

Jordan Davis returns with his latest release, a brand new EP titled, Buy Dirt. Available now, May 21st, on all streaming platforms, check out our full review of the project below.

Almost a year ago to the day, Jordan Davis released his six-track, self-titled EP which contained the fun “Cool Anymore” featuring Julia Michaels, “Detours”, and the current chart-climbing hit “Almost Maybes.” His new project, Buy Dirt is a pandemic-inspired compilation of songs in which Davis got the chance to rediscover his love for songwriting. He admits in his EP announcement video that upon arriving in Nashville, he lost sight of the type of music he wanted to write.

“I’ve always loved artists who take risks. I’m in a different spot in my life than I was when I released Home State. We all are!” he acknowledged in a recent press release. “2020 was a tough time for everyone. I was able to use that time to re-center some things in my world, and I didn’t want those lessons to go to waste. I wanted to create something special. The best way to do that was to write honestly, and we did a lot of that on this record.”

The record starts off with a short cover of John Prine’s “Spanish Pipedream (Blow Up Your TV),” which is not only a nice tribute to the legendary singer-songwriter who passed away last April, it complements the theme of this EP and the world the past fourteen months. It describes the benefit of disconnecting and going off the map for a little while. It allows one to live carefree in the moment and take in all of life’s little pleasures. Davis slowed down the track immensely to emphasize the current meaning of the song.

The title track is the centerpiece of the project and features country superstar Luke Bryan. The song’s narrator is sitting on a back porch with his grandfather, listening to the old man dispense pearls of wisdom between sips of hot coffee. Over a light, string melody, Davis and Bryan summarize the man’s advice in one quote: “you can’t buy happiness, but you can buy dirt.” Life moves fast and you have to appreciate and take advantage of your short time here on Earth. Finding the person of your dreams, doing something you love for a living, practicing your faith, and raising a family are the keys to happiness. Davis talked about working with the singer who he grew up listening to on the radio:

“We sat around the fire after a golf tournament one day, smoking cigars and talking about everything but music,” he recalled. “That conversation always stuck with me. Luke isn’t just a great entertainer; he’s a great Dad, a great husband, and a great friend, too. That’s what ‘Buy Dirt’ embodies. When I wrote ‘Buy Dirt,’ I knew he could relate to the song’s message.”

“Need To Not” and “Lose You” were both previously released. The former is similar to Dan + Shay’s number-one hit “How Not To,” as they both express the singer’s struggle with letting his former lover go. He knows he should just go home and watch TV, but driving past her block tests his temptation and brings back old, unwelcomed feelings. The latter sprinkles small amounts of steel-guitar over a pop production. The man in the song sees a couple at a restaurant that seems to have had better days. This makes him fear that maybe someday he and his partner will slowly grow apart as well. He confesses he is in this relationship for the long haul and even the thought of losing her is too difficult to process.

“I Still Smoked” tells the story of young love. The singer reminisces on the time when he and his now-wife met. He remembers all the details of that night from the weather, the drink in her cup, and the artist playing on the radio. People doubted their relationship, including her mom, but that only made their love stronger.

“We were runway flames in a backseat fire // Growing up fast on Renegade tires // Didn’t worry about tomorrow and sure didn’t worry about us // Every time I kiss you it feels the same //  I still remember us that way // Don’t it feel just like yesterday you drove that old jeep and I still smoked?”

“Drink Had Me,” is the most upbeat tune on the project, as Davis uses clever word-play to describe how a night out with his buddies ended up. His plans of staying home got interrupted by several messages from his friends and they finally got him to agree to have one drink, but we all know how that story goes. Instead of having the drink, the drink had him calling his ex and spending the night at her place, leading to problematic and undefined feelings. With a catalog containing plenty of slow and mid-tempo songs, this fun track will serve nicely during his live sets.

“The drink had me want one more // Won’t be forgetting what we broke up for // and doing the make-up, wake-up thing // I just went in there to have one drink but the drink had me”

Throughout the record, Davis shows that he has a lot to be grateful for. By combining elements of country, pop, rock, and R&B, yet preserving the southern storytelling and timeless melodies that make country music so profound, Davis creates a sound unique to himself. He has matured so much during his young career and it is shining through his music.

Alexander Ludwig Releases Debut Self-titled EP

Alexander Ludwig, the Vikings and The Hunger Games star, makes his entrance to country music with a new self-titled EP, available now, May 21st, on all streaming platforms. Read our full review of the project below.

Alexander Ludwig may be best known for his roles as Bjorn on Vikings or Cato in The Hunger Games, but the multi-talented Canadian is now making a foray into country music with his self-titled EP. For his debut project, Ludwig signed with BBR Music Group and joined forces with Jason Aldean’s bandmates, Tully Kennedy and Kurt Allison, who produced the project. The EP also features songs co-written by other Nashville heavy hitters including David Lee Murphy, Jonathan Singleton, and Old Dominion’s Brad Tursi.

Although it may seem like a stretch for a Canadian actor to jump into country music, Ludwig grew up on the genre, first picking up the guitar at age nine. Inspired by the likes of Alan Jackson, George Strait, Kenny Chesney, and Aldean, those influences can be heard throughout the five-song project.

The EP opens with “Love Today,” which shows Ludwig channeling his inner Kenny Chesney on the summery anthem. “I’m moving on // yesterday’s gone, I’ve been waiting on // Chin up, drink up, call an old friend up, It’s good to be alive, kinda smile on my face, yeah it’s gonna be okay,” He sings over the infectious melody and driving guitars. “I love today.” The song is the perfect introduction to Ludwig, the artist, as it’s a catchy country anthem, perfect for summer beach days and Instagram captions.

On “Sunset Town,” Ludwig paints a portrait of moving on from a failed relationship in a beachside town of open-air bars, boats, and happy hours. On the power ballad, Ludwig muses that he’ll “probably end up in some sunset town,” and it’s impossible not to picture him on a beach somewhere.

Of the album’s third track, co-written by Eric Arjes and Tursi, Ludwig reveals that,””How It Rolls” is everything I love about country music. It takes you away and leaves you flying high for three minutes. It teleports you to a feeling, where you’re so enamored by a person that everything in your world appears to be rolling the right way. That’s what all of these songs are — they’re moments in time. We’re just trying to capture those moments properly.”

Of the album’s fourth track, “Malibu Blue,” Ludwig says he played it for his now-wife on their first date. For that reason, the song holds a special place in his heart. “We focused on songs that really resonate,” Ludwig said. “A ‘hit’ isn’t necessarily a No. 1. It’s a song that sticks in your head for years. I remember when I first listened to our recording of ‘Malibu Blue.’ My now-wife and I were on one of our first date together, and I played it for her…I’ll never forget hearing it for the first time.”

The EP closes with “Summer Crazy,” the only track on this project co-written by Ludwig. It celebrates all of the great things that make summertime so magical. The song is akin to a modern version of Kenny Chesney’s “Summertime,” and we can’t wait to blast it at a tailgate.

While many actors try to transition into country music, for some it seems like they’re simply taking on another role. However, for Alexander Ludwig, the EP is truly a passion project. “I’m here for the long haul,” he says. “This isn’t some actor who comes to Nashville and expects the world to be handed to him. That’s not who I am. My heart and soul are in this music, and I’ll do whatever it takes to continue earning my spot in this community.”

Blake Shelton: ‘Body Language’ – Album Review

Blake Shelton’s new album, Body Language, featuring “Happy Anywhere,” “Minimum Wage,” and the title track co-written by The Swon Brothers is out now, May 21st. Read our full review of the project below.

For an artist like Blake Shelton, it would be easy to rest on his laurels, his greatest hits, and his seemingly permanent seat on NBC’s The Voice. However, Shelton has continued to release new music, including a greatest hits collection in 2019 and 2017’s Texoma Shore. Today, May 21, Shelton released his first full-length offering in nearly four years, Body Language.

The album opens with “Minimum Wage,” a hooky uptempo which finds Shelton comparing his woman’s love to money, as that love can “make a man feel rich on minimum wage.” Despite initially capturing some negative and unwarranted social media attention, the song is the perfect intro to Body Language with an anthemic sound that is somehow typical of Shelton while also introducing a new, more confident troubadour. 

The title track features former “Team Blake” members, The Swon Brothers, and was co-written by the 2013 The Voice contestants, along with Matt McGinn and Ryan Beaver. When the duo played the song for their mentor, Shelton was immediately taken aback and asked to record what has become one of his favorite tracks. “It’s such a cool phrase,” Shelton says of the title track. “The song has really proven itself over time. Even after my producer Scott [Hendricks] put the album together and listened and lived with it for a while, it jumped out every time and still never gets skipped listening back.”

The sunny side of Shelton is on display on songs like “Whatcha Doin’ Tomorrow?,” “The Girl Can’t Help It,” “Happy Anywhere” and “Makin’ It Up As You Go,” which is the perfect summer track, despite being a breakup song. “How long does it take for a heart to unbreak?” Shelton croons breezily. “I’m just makin’ it up as I go.” Meanwhile, “Happy Anywhere” features Shelton’s fiance, Gwen Stefani, and highlights airy steel guitar punctuated by Stefani’s background vocals. 

It’s not all sunshine and rainbows on Body Language, however, as Shelton is feeling bittersweet on “Now I Don’t,” reminiscing about his ex and all the ways he’s moved on from his broken heart. Co-written by Jessi Alexander, Alysa Vanderheym, and Michael Hardy, the song has Shelton defiant in the face of heartbreak. “I took a pretty good beatin’ to bounce back // Now I’m back on my feet laughing at the fact // That I ever used to wish I could get you back,” Shelton sings. “‘Cause now I don’t.”

While Shelton experiments with different sounds on Body Language, one of the album’s most tried and true country songs is “Corn,” a tongue-in-cheek ode to the vegetable Shelton has most often surrounded himself with. While it may be silly, it’s a fun and fiddle-filled three minutes. If Luke Bryan’s “Rain Is a Good Thing,” had a long-lost cousin, “Corn” would certainly be it.

“Monday Mornin’ Missin’ You” is Shelton at his most Shelton, with its modern meets traditional country sound, while “Neon Time” is another beachy anthem. Co-written by Jaron Boyer, Michael Tyler, and Ben West, the track is a musical vacation, an ode to slipping into a bar and escaping real life for the weekend. “Yeah, we’re living on neon time // Smoking up the room and clearing our minds // Little lean back and kick it // Little cold beer with it,” Shelton croons. “Let it hit ya just right, yeah // Something ’bout the way the neon shines // It goes perfect with a Friday night // You ain’t thinking ‘bout 9 to 5 // When you’re living on neon time.”

The album ends with “Bible Verses,”  a somber and introspective look at a complicated relationship with religion. “As far as saving me goes, it’s a battle up a hill,” Shelton admits as he tries to find solace in the Bible, feeling like he’s not measuring up to what’s inside. For now, Shelton is trying to give himself a little grace, as he longs for a better day. “That I can open up the good book // And heaven don’t look like it’s out of reach // When it feels like those apostles are giving me the gospel // And not the third degree,” He reflects on the stunning track. “Like bible verses and not the bible versus me.”

On Body Language, Blake Shelton stays true to himself, releasing a classic Shelton collection that still manages to sound new and fresh. With songs like “Bible Verses,” “Happy Anywhere,” and “Neon Time,” Shelton has ensured that he’ll achieve the one goal he had with putting out this album. “I want to have some great country songs to sing,” he revealed. “I want people to hear the album and enjoy it.”

Shelton will be hitting the road later this year for the Friends and Heroes Tour 2021, kicking off August 18 in Omaha, Nebraska. The tour will hit Philadelphia on September 2, featuring special guests Martina McBride, Tracy Bryd, Trace Adkins, and Lindsay Ell.

Old Dominion Release Summer Jam, “I Was On a Boat That Day”

Old Dominion dropped a brand new, carefree summer jam, “I Was On a Boat That Day”. Available now, May 21st, on all streaming platforms, take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new song.

It’s been a little while since we’ve heard new music from the Old Dominion, but they’re back with a perfect carefree summer jam. “I Was on a Boat That Day” is all about letting loose of all of life’s responsibilities and not worrying about anything but having a good time.

The song paints a picture of the subject going through a breakup, but instead of dwelling on the situation, they are just living carefree in the moment and taking their mind off of things by enjoying themselves on a boat. Who doesn’t love a good boat day? There are no broken hearts here, as the subject is not worried about anything else like what may have happened yesterday or what the future might hold. They have friends, perfect weather, the water, a boat, and drinks to enjoy. Isn’t that where we’d all rather be right now!?

“Is she gone for the summer? // gone for the night? // gone for the weekend or the rest of my life? // was she laughing? was she crying as she walked away? // I can’t say, I was on a boat that day // The river was rollin’ // I was getting my float on / She was telling me so long // I was already so long gone”

Miranda Lambert Drops An Emotive Quarantine Song

Miranda Lambert just released a brand new song, “They’ve Closed Down the Honky Tonks”, available everywhere now, May 18th. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.

This past year has been a difficult one for all of us, but for the entertainment industry, it has been detrimental for so many reasons. Like many artists, Miranda Lambert took solace in her craft as a singer and as a songwriter to share her pain, her feelings, and her experiences with the world. Fresh off her collaborative album with Jack Ingram and Jon Randall, The Marfa Tapes, the songstress releases the ultimate heartbreaking quarantine ballad, “They’ve Closed Down the Honky Tonks.”

For many of us, watching our favorite venues close down and the concerts we looked forward to get canceled was shocking. A year without live music is something none of us could ever see coming. On her new song, Lambert laments about this exact thing. Full of emotion, the entertainer sings about venues facing losses, the pain in the industry, and the shock and dismay everyone went through during the pandemic.

“They’ve closed down the honky-tonks // And now my world ain’t turning // The jukebox ran out of change // And the neon lights ain’t buzzing // There ain’t nothin’ sadder // Than covering Haggard // And nobody singing along // Y’all they’ve closed down all the honky-tonks”

Penned by Lambert, the song truly encompasses how musicians, fans, and music lovers everywhere felt the last year. We appreciate her honesty and vulnerability on this heartbreakingly beautiful song. Hats off to Lambert for always keeping it real!
