Canaan Smith Releases Brand New Song “Cabin In The Woods”

/in , , /by
Canaan Smith’s new song “Cabin in the Woods” is the latest single release for his upcoming project due out early next year. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.

The Platinum-certified #1 “Love You Like That” singer, Canaan Smith, has released a brand new single “Cabin in the Woods” to add to his upcoming collection due out early next year. As his second release this year, following “Colder Than You” back in June, Smith seems to have found a specific sound. Matched with consistent help from Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley through production over the last two years, this new project from Smith seems to be an exciting, artistic development.

“Cabin in the Woods” opens up with birds chirping to create the basic, solitary environment of nature. As the song grows into itself and the lyrics begin to tell a story, the listeners are given a sense of reflection. The track acts as a celebration by honoring the old cabin in the woods through highlights of the best memories and past-times made there.

Canaan Smith's New Song "Cabin In The Woods" is available now, October 23rd.

Canaan Smith’s New Song “Cabin In The Woods” is available now, October 23rd.

“At that old cabin in the woods sitting down by the river / On a September night, I’ll always remember / We were sippin’ round the fire singing old John Denver / Life was feeling good / At that old cabin in the woods / We were young, beer was cold / At that old cabin in the woods”

“I love music that makes me feel something, and this one definitely puts me in a place of nostalgia,” Smith explains in a recent press release. “I’ve made some of my favorite memories out in the woods, and this opportunity to put music out that reflects what I love is what’s most important to me right now. I hope everyone enjoys listening to it as much as I did making it.”

Smith, a Tree Vibez songwriter who has penned cuts for Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, Cole Swindell, and more, grants fans with a hint of the security and peace that the wilderness often provides through “Cabin in the Woods”. The new single allows for a moment of escape, no matter where you are listening, and acts as a reminder that there are constants such as memories and the woods to create a sense of tranquility.

Dolly Parton’s Collaborative “Pink” Supports Fight Against Breast Cancer

/in , , /by

As we honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month each and every October, this year female powerhouses Dolly Parton, Monica, Jordin Sparks, Rita Wilson, and Sara Evans have come together to help the fight with their new song “Pink”. This special collaboration benefits Susan G. Komen®, the world’s leading breast cancer organization.

When we think about breast cancer, most of us likely associate the color pink with it. This track helps us imagine a day where pink goes back to being just a color. Written by Erin Kinsey, Jodi Marr, and Victoria Shaw, each superstar showcases their voice during each verse and all five come together perfectly for the chorus. Combing country, pop, and R&B, this is a beautiful ballad that not only shows how beautifully mixing artists from different genres can be, but it also gives us hope that hopefully one day we’ll be able to find a cure to the terrible disease.

This song is for everyone who has been affected by breast cancer, which, unfortunately, with one in eight women being diagnosed with the disease each year and taking away more than 42,000 lives annually, it’s not uncommon that we all have been somehow affected. It’s also a great reminder that even with everything else this year has brought us, the fight to stop breast cancer is still ongoing and continues to need support.

Dolly Parton teamed up with Monica, Jordin Sparks, Rita Wilson and Sara Evans on collaborative new track "Pink" to support the fight against breast cancer

“You gotta believe without seeing\You gotta keep going, keep breathing\ When you face a day that feels like you’re gonna break\ Lean on the ones that love you\ The guardian angels above you\ And think about when pink was just another color”

In a recent press release, Parton shared what recording the song meant to her. “This is such a beautiful song of hope. I’m honored to join with these powerful women to help support Susan G. Komen’s life-saving work.”

Wilson, a breast cancer survivor herself, shared what she loves about doing the project. “The song is not just for someone who is a survivor or going through breast cancer treatment, it is for anyone who loves someone who has been impacted by breast cancer. That’s why I love this song.”

While the fight against breast cancer may not be over yet, “Pink” gives us a reason to believe we will be there one day.

Tenille Townes Shares Special Lyric Video for “Jersey On The Wall”

/in , /by

Today, October 27th Sony Nashville recording artist Tenille Townes shared a very special lyric video for her moving song “Jersey On The Wall” which is featured on her debut album, The Lemonade Stand.

I had the opportunity to hear “Jersey on the Wall” a few years ago and it automatically brought me to tears upon first listen. When you lose a loved one, especially like in my case, losing my cousin to brain cancer when she was 21 years old, you tend to have a lot of questions about why something so horrible could happen. Like so many fans who have heard this song, I have shared it with family members and I was lucky enough to have had the great opportunity to tell Tenille, the songwriter and artist about my experience during our Swag Session earlier this year.

After hearing story after story like mine, Townes decided to come up with a beautiful way to honor each of these stories and lost souls. She asked fans to submit their stories along with their loved ones’ jersey colors and numbers for a special project which she revealed today. In this special fan-generated video, while the heartwarming lyrics are displayed across the screen, the camera pans across the jerseys hung one after another, allowing each fan to have their moment to remember and honor those we’ve lost. You can see my cousin’s jersey (Durso 7) towards the end of the video and it will forever solidify this song as being one of my favorites.

Jameson Rodgers’ “Some Girls” Earns Him First Career Number One

/in , /by

Jameson Rodgers’ “Some Girls” earns him very first career number one as the song hits the top spot on the country charts this week.

For about a decade, Jameson Rodgers has been grinding it out in the Nashville scene, cultivating a unique fanbase. Finally given his shot, Rodgers was signed by Columbia Nashville and released his debut song “Some Girls” to country radio. The song, written by CJ Solar, Jake Mitchell, and HARDY, has been steadily moving up the charts, hovering in the top ten for weeks, but now “Some Girls” is officially a number one hit.

“Sometimes it’s a clean break, stay gone / Clean slate, moving on to something new / Sometimes, some girls make it easy on you / But some girls never do”

 

We named Rodgers one of our 2020 Artists to Watch earlier this year, and despite this crazy year we are having, this proved to be an important one for the songwriter-turned-singer/songwriter both personally and professionally. He released more music to fans and on a personal level, got engaged to his longtime girlfriend Sarah Allison Turner.

We are sure that the addition of “Some Girls” being a chart-topper will only add to Rodgers’ excitement! The song itself is a modern-twist on getting through a break-up. It is a great introduction in to the rising artist’s writing style and crisp vocals. We are excited to see how Rodgers’ career continues to blossom. Congratulations on your very first number one!

Garth Brooks Releases “Shallow” with His Wife, Trisha Yearwood

/in , , /by

Garth Brooks’ “Shallow” with Trisha Yearwood acts as the latest single to his soon-to-be-released studio album Fun, out November 20th. Read about the track here.

Garth Brooks Shallow

Garth Brooks, the newly announced Billboard Musical Icon, and best-selling solo artist in U.S. history, is gearing up for two album releases due out November 20th. Fun, which marks Brooks’ twelfth studio album, will feature a cover of “Shallow” with wife and multi-award winning country artist, Trisha Yearwood. The track, released through Amazon Music, has now been dubbed as the latest single from the “Friends in Low Places” singer which devoted listeners practically arranged for themselves.

Due to a fan’s request during a live Facebook performance and, again, on their CBS Special ‘Garth & Trisha Live!’, their rendition of the A Star Is Born’s “Shallow” has received high praise and an overwhelming amount of attention. “From the moment Ms. Yearwood and I first performed ’Shallow’ we have just had so much FUN with performing it, and so have the fans, that it just felt right to share this with country radio,” explained Brooks in a press release. “Getting to sing this duet with the queen is really special and it’s nice way to work up to the release of my album FUN coming out next month.”

“Shallow”, which has been held on a pedestal since the film’s release in October 2018, is a common cover song that showcases diverse takes with a variety of different musicians. Danielle Bradbery and Parker McCollum, for instance, were one of the first partnerships on the number with a more soft, stripped down version. Now, Brooks, alongside Yearwood, adds a bit of country twang and relaxed, mature overtones.

Check out their first performance of “Shallow” here.

Alongside upcoming album Fun, Brooks is set to release Triple Live Deluxe that includes 30 hits from the Garth Brooks’ World Tour with Yearwood as well as the 2019 Stadium Tour. The release date, that has been designated for the same day as Fun, allows listeners to spoil themselves in the tangible, infectious energy that Brooks executes through production.

Alex Hall Announces Debut EP + Drops New Song with John Osborne

/in , , /by

Alex Hall announced his debut EP, ‘Six Strings’, due out early 2021, and released his first track, “Jealous Love” featuring John Osborne, available now, October 23rd, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.

Alex Hall, a new artist with Monument Records, has begun to introduce his upcoming EP Six Strings that is due out early next year. The project, a collaborative one, features an impressive line-up of talent as additional country acts such as Tenille Townes, Brad Tursi of Old Dominion, Vince Gill, Kassi Ashton, and Brad Paisley join Hall on the EP.

Revealing the debut project today, October 23rd, Hall released a first look at the collection of songs with the brand new track “Jealous Love” which acts as the first single off the record and features John Osborne of the take-it-or-leave-it individualistic duo, Brothers Osborne.

“It’s such an honor to play and sing alongside my friends and heroes on the Six Strings EP. I’m so proud of this body of music, and I can’t wait for the world to hear it!” Hall shares in a recent press release.

To start off this new chapter of music, “Jealous Love” is an electric, dynamic production that adds energy to all environments in which it is played. The chemistry between Hall and Osborne seeps off the record enough to consider expanding the multi-nominated duo Brothers Osborne, who recently released their third studio album Skeletons on October 9th, and adopting Hall into the band.

Alex Hall's "Jealous Love" featuring John Osborne is out now, October 23rd.

Alex Hall’s “Jealous Love” featuring John Osborne is out now, October 23rd.

“Dancing in the neon light / Got every head turned, hypnotized / k, kiss me spin around / And make ’em jealous love / Run your fingers through my hair / Whisper to me in my ear / “You’re the only one / I love your jealous love” / You’re the only one / I love your jealous love”

As an experienced musician who grew up playing gigs around his hometown of Gainesville, Georgia during the week and balancing high school, Hall has been bred for Nashville’s artistry and cross-genre tendencies since the start. The John Mayer and Bruce Springsteen enthusiast incorporates an infectious rock sound along with the best male country influences such as Keith Urban and Eric Church to create a specific, handmade formula that speaks for Hall as a performer. “Jealous Love” provides listeners with that mixture while, at the same time, adding fire to the flame for the release of Six Strings.

Fans can join our Weekly Round-Up e-newsletter here, for the latest in country music and more news about future Alex Hall releases.

Chuck Wicks Returns With New Song “Solid Gold”

/in , , /by

Chuck Wicks’ new song, “Solid Gold” is available now, October 23rd, on all streaming platforms. The track, written by Wicks and produced by Jimmy Ritchey, is his first release in nearly two years and directly follows his new record deal with Verge Records. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.

Chuck Wicks reintroduces himself as a singer-songwriter in his new single “Solid Gold”. The pensive track comes directly from the thoughts and voice of Chuck Wicks with Jimmy Ritchey as producer, and is the first release since his 2018 single “Better Than Flowers”.

After a tumultuous yet exciting year that includes major changes in both his personal and professional life, like getting married and now awaiting his first child, to his departure from Cumulus Media where he spent the past six years as co-host on The Ty Bentli Show, formerly Ty, Kelly and Chuck, this production means more to Wicks and fans than the message that translates through lyric. Though, that does not take away from the sentiment presented in “Solid Gold”.

“As a singer and songwriter, I will forever stand by my work on ‘Solid Gold,” Wicks shared in a recent press release. “It checks all the boxes for me on what I love about country music and that’s the reason I wanted to lead with this song as I reintroduce myself as an artist.”

A ballad that speaks to a strong, deep love that is compared to the sturdiness of gold, the new single from this “Stealing Cinderella” performer fills listeners with romance.

Chuck Wicks' New Song "Solid Gold" is available now, October 23rd.

Chuck Wicks’ New Song “Solid Gold” is available now, October 23rd.

“Baby, our love is solid gold / It will hold you like a Conway song with the twang of old Mr. Jones / Our love is solid gold / You can find it on any map / Just pick a town and any old country road”

This release from Wicks is an exciting return to the spotlight. As someone who is used to the music industry between acting as a co-host on a Nationally Syndicated radio, winning two ACM’s for National On-Air Personality of the Year, and writing songs for the biggest country music artists such as Jason Aldean’s “I Don’t Do Lonely Well’, Wicks seems to be more focused than ever. With a more stripped-down style of music and a built-in tone of honesty blended among an attractive vulnerability, Wicks has all the qualities of a well-bred singer-songwriter.

Kalie Shorr Releases Authentic New Song “My Voice”

/in , , /by

Kalie Shorr’s new song, “My Voice” is available now, October 23rd, on all streaming platforms. Written by Shorr with Fred Willhelm, Simon Reid, and Skip Black, take a look at the article below to learn more about Shorr, her story, and her new track.

To be successful as a woman in country music, artists have to work twice as hard to make a name for themselves. While radio airplay is still a major factor for some singers, there are plenty of talented artists pushing the envelope and breaking boundaries so they can make their mark.

Kalie Shorr is one of them, and her unapologetic 2019 debut, Open Book defied every Nashville radio prerequisite. The album made the top 10 of the New York Times best albums of 2019, and it earned Shorr a record deal with New York-based label TMWRK. On December 4th, the label and Shorr will release Open Book: Unabridged, and the first track, “My Voice” was released today, October 23rd.

 

Kalie Shorr's New Song "My Voice" is available now

Kalie Shorr’s New Song “My Voice” is available now, October 23rd.

Equal parts The Chicks twangy, Lucinda rootsy, and Alanis grungey is where Shorr’s voice lays. The song is autobiographical in a different way than her usual catalog: it’s about her relationship with music city and the suits of Nashville telling her how she’d become famous. “Spoon fed, candy coated/Take the F-bombs out of what you wrote,” she sings honestly on the first verse. “And if you want the radio to play you/Make it sweet like a cherry lifesaver/But they’ll probably never play me/’Cause I’m not a boy.”

Complying to the strict rules is difficult enough as a woman in country music, but if your music doesn’t fit inside that box, it makes it even harder. She’s come a long way since her first tour with Martina McBride, but the heart of her music has remained the same. “Guess what, I can’t change/It’s not my voice/So get used to the sound of my voice”, she belts heartfeltly on the chorus.

Production-wise, the banjo is slick and the guitar is gritty. It’s a song that is so catchy that by the second time you listen, you’ll already know the chorus. Although the song is about not making music that country radio deems “hit worthy”, it’s so well-crafted it truly could be a hit.

Shorr is proof that sometimes, stepping outside of the Nashville bubble opens more doors than you ever thought possible. Dreaming bigger means taking a leap of faith. Not everything can be done and accomplished the traditional way. To find her voice, Shorr found herself and found her way.

As we anticipate more music from Shorr, take a look at our swag session with the singer-songwriter from late last year where she sang some songs and spoke with us about the process of creating her debut record, Open Book, and what was like touring with Leann Rimes.

Mitchell Tenpenny: Neon Christmas – EP Review

/in , , , /by

Mitchell Tenpenny’s brand new Christmas EP Neon Christmas is available now, October 23rd on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new songs off the special holiday project.

One of our absolute favorite singer-songwriters, Mitchell Tenpenny has one of the most distinct voices in country music. His signature sound has gained him boatloads of fans across the globe. After gifting us with an original Christmas song, “Naughty List” last year, the singer took it a step further showcasing his love for the holiday season a little bit more with a full Christmas EP. Today, Tenpenny released his EP entitled Neon Christmas, which features four incredible covers of some of our favorite holiday classics as well as three original new tunes.

Despite the fact that some of the songs are covers and some are originals, Tenpenny finds a way to make every song feel fresh and new. Renditions of Christmas classics like “O Holy Night” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” remind us how powerful and effortless the singer’s vocals truly are. Both songs showcase his talent in an undeniable way.

The other two covers of songs, “Let It Snow! Let It Snow Let It Snow!” And “Joy to the World” feature a more rock-country element to them. The former could literally be an original Mitchell Tenpenny song. Tenpenny finds a way to make the classic sound brand new, while on “Joy to the World,” the singer delivers a smooth, vibey anthem.

Of course, Tenpenny shines on his original songs. Although many artists try their hand at reimagining Christmas songs, the artist finds a way to deliver three brand new tracks that actually have appeal during the holiday season. Arguably our favorite, the previously released jam, “Naughty List,” is one of Tenpenny’s best. The song reminds us of how it feels to be in love during Christmastime.

“I’m gon’ end up on the naughty list / And Santa’s gonna take back all my gifts / With kisses sweeter than the cookies that we left up by the chimney / Tell me, baby, how could I resist”

The other two originals, “Snow Angels” and the title track, “Neon Christmas” are equally as enticing for different reasons. “Snow Angels” is a romantic and sensual song with an R&B flair. Tenpenny pushes the boundaries on this song in all the right ways. On the other hand, “Neon Christmas” is all about making the best out of a snow delay and having Christmas under the neon lights of a bar. We love the unique visuals that the song evokes.

“We have a neon Christmas, baby don’t you know / Yeah, as long as we’re together it don’t matter where we go / If a cold beer, corner booth, or a I’ve bar stool’s on your wish list / We can have a neon Christmas”

Mitchell Tenpenny's holiday EP, 'Neon Christmas' is available everywhere now, October 23rd

Overall, Neon Christmas might be one of our favorite new holiday records. Tenpenny finds a way to reinvigorate the classics while giving us new jams to play all season long! As the singer said on his social media, “Happy Merry Fuckin Christmas.”
