Swag Spotlight Brinley Addington started playing music when he was very young and has opened for artists such as Florida Georgia Line, Thomas Rhett, Chris Young, and more. He penned Tyler Farr’s “I Should Go To Church Sometime” and has released a number of singles including “Come Back” and “Changing My Mind.”
Addington has a lot to say to his ex in his newly released single “Still Not Over You.” He wrote and produced this track and it’s something that everyone can relate to. A lot of people have that one they can reminisce about and Addington sure has some last words to say. The chorus accelerates speed as he sings: “I’m still missing you like crazy // I’m still thinking ’bout you baby // Every night and every day // You know I wish you hadn’t left me // Like you left me when you left me // Baby I was not expecting // Letting go to be this hard to do // I’m still not over you”
The country music singer + songwriter shared on his Instagram, “I wrote this song at my kitchen table one night in April 2016 and feel like it fell through the cracks somehow. The songs I love most are when the singer/writer is just being honest about where they were at a given moment and this is my version of that. It may not a feel-good, summertime jam but it’s as “me” as I know how to be.”
“Still Not Over 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.

Country superstar, Kane Brown finally dropped his pop-collaboration, “Be Like That” with Khalid and Swae Lee today (July 10th). Fans have been waiting for the official release of this song since videos of him performing this at his shows back in February surfaced the internet. When we saw it live at the Atlantic City stop on his Worldwide Beautiful Tour, he said it would be his next single to pop radio and teased possible guest features. Watch it below:
“Be Like That” is a heavily produced track in which the singer describes his complicated relationship. He hates constantly texting her and thinks he might be better off on his own but at the same time he says he’s not himself without her and he would never be able to move on if they broke up. This is a common scenario that is not often expressed. The usual situation described in country music involves two people who have broken up but after a few drinks, they make an overnight mistake which leads them to evaluate their status. The singer calls attention to what’s going through the mind of someone in that relationship rather than what that person is doing to get over it.
“I might be better on my own / I hate you blowing up my phone / I wish I never met your ass / Sometimes it be like that”
Swae Lee takes the second verse of the song and joins Brown for the third chorus while Khalid, who has joined Brown on a previous song called “Saturday Nights,” takes the third verses and backups the fourth and final chorus. Brown is no stranger to cross-genre productions as he has featured on songs with Marshmello, Becky G, Camila Cabello, John Legend, and more. Himself and rapper, Nelly, who has been featured on numerous country tracks already, will team up for a “Cool Again” remix coming out soon. The Texas-native teased the track on his Instagram page last month.
We speculate a lot of new music will be coming from Kane Brown in the near future. Keep up with the new music by following him on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
“Be Like That” 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 may never know from the compelling and professional manner that Laine Hardy exhibited when he won American Idol in 2019, making him the Season 2 winner of the newly-renovated, famous singing competition. He has certainly kept busy with music since his victory just 14 months ago. Since then, he has released three singles, and two of those singles have acoustic versions. “Ground I Grew Up On” and “Let There Be Country” were released just three months ago, and set the record straight on what his home in Livingston, Louisiana means to him.
Now, Hardy continues to shine a light on his roots with a brand new single “Tiny Town”, written by Michael Tyler Spragg and produced by Michael Knox. This song embodies a small, country town where people love their neighbors and home-cooked meals are still in surplus. Down to the last strum of the guitar, “Tiny Town” paints a picture of living with the necessities and appreciating the little things like fishing and crowded chapels.
“Yeah that’s living, living in a tiny town / 9 to 5, on Friday nights wearing Main Street down / Yeah, just living, living in a tiny town / Hardwood floors and liquor stores, letters burning out / What I wouldn’t give right about now / To be back in my tiny town”
The simply beautiful instrumental is stripped down even more so in the acoustic version of “Tiny Town”, which is also available now. A music video for the song is forthcoming which, if it follows in Hardy’s previous approaches, may show off some more of his hometown and Louisiana-style activities.
“Tiny Town” 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.

With the exception of a few remixes and covers, fans of Jimmie Allen have not been given new music since his 2018 debut album Mercury Lane. Still, the “Best Shot” singer has maintained his spot in country music and has developed a devoted community through social media. With his growing fanbase, Bettie James is here to reintroduce Allen in a way that could not have been more anticipated, in the very best way: with a collaborative project.
With six, out of seven, unreleased tracks with entertainers such as Nelly, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, and more, Bettie James works as a mesh of creatively diverse tracks. There are feel-good, powerhouse songs, estranged love ballads, inspirational messages laid over music, and reflective lyrics that contemplate tragedy and, in another production, potential growth.
Bettie James was undoubtedly worth the wait, not only for Allen’s listeners but for country music as a whole. It showcases a grown, matured, and versatile artist who is capable of honesty and vulnerability as well as performing those country music classics that get people moving and grooving. Not only does it provide Allen with a chance to redefine himself in a multifaceted, cross-genre way, but the well-known contributors are able to play with their preferred style of music, too. For instance, “Made for These” practically demands Tim McGraw’s involvement since it walks the same line as McGraw’s 2004 hit, “Live Like You Were Dying”. Additionally, “Freedom Was A Highway” aligns with Brad Paisley’s high-esteemed inclinations to incorporate a dense, electric riff.
Further exploring a mix of genre-bending music from top to bottom, the album kicks off with the infectious and fan-favorite “Good Times Roll” featuring Nelly and ends with the final and seventh track, “This Is Us” featuring Noah Cyrus. Fans got a bit of an early taste for each of these two tracks. While the latter was released on its own in February, Allen also began including a sneak peek of “Good Times Roll” in his live show as early as December 2019. Check out the video below for a clip of the live performance.
Although, Bettie James in its entirety is a true gift, there are two notable pieces, and it would be a great disservice if “Drunk & I Miss You” and “Why Things Happen” were not specifically given the words, and the space, to officially discuss and acclaim. The former is with Mickey Guyton and the melody practically sends the listener into a dizzying mental state, as if a camera is rotating 360° around an object to cause chaos and confusion. It only adds to the anguish and desperation of the song, though the mixed feelings of honesty battled with alcohol-induced longing creates a conflicted, muddled mental state that allows the track to be what it is. And, it’s great.
“Why Things Happen”, with Charley Pride and Darius Rucker, takes on a more serious route with the lyrics searching for answers as to, well, why things happen as they do. It’s political, without having to get political. And, it’s an emotional, thought-provoking production that tugs at the heart-strings. With Rucker’s natural tremble in his voice and Pride’s established, rough yet muted tone intertwining with each other and echoing Allen, a full-blast exploratory creation is born that leaves us wanting more.
Bettie James is an epiphanic, significant and well-built project from Allen that takes you on a whirlwind of emotions in seven tracks, leaving you dazed and confused, in the very best way.

Every time we write about the powerful female trio that is Avenue Beat, we become more and more in awe of their talent, charisma, and uniqueness. Their song “i don’t really like your boyfriend” went viral on TikTok just last month, and fans begged for the rising artists to release a recorded version, they obliged. Now, Avenue Beat is at it again with another viral song, “F2020.”
Like all of us, Sami, Savana, and Sam have been navigating this pandemic in their own ways. For the songstresses, singing and songwriting seem to have remained their number one coping skill, and we are reaping the benefits. “F2020” is an anthem for this year. The ladies cuss out the year with this necessary, yet pleasing song. The second the beat drops and the chorus hits, you become a full-fledged fan of the song and in turn of Avenue Beat.
“Yo my cat died / and a global pandemic took over my life / And I put out some music nobody liked / So I got really sad and bored at the same time / That’s why I’m like / Lowkey fuck 2020/ Still sad, still ain’t got no money”
The ladies express all the turmoil we all feel about how crazy this year has been so far. Through their catchy, yet truthful lyrics. Furthermore, the fact that they had the courage to release it on their social media platforms, and now obliging fans once again by recording it, just shows how much guts and passion they have for their music and their fans. You’re lying if you don’t think “F2020” is a smash hit. Avenue Beat has somehow found their own lane in music, and we are loving every second of it.
“F2020” 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.

“Why do I, always try, to run away from you?” Brett Eldredge asked on his 2017 self-titled album. At the time, the closer, “Castaway” was the most vulnerable he had ever gotten with fans. On his latest release Sunday Drive, out today, July 10th, Eldredge has stopped running from himself and embraced everything he used to shy away from. Lyrically, sonically and personally, this is Eldredge’s bravest piece of work.
The opener is the overwhelmingly joyous “Where The Heart Is”, co-written by Eldredge, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Tyler Johnson. The acoustic guitar is folksy and the soaring strings and harmonies add an extra layer of depth. “Where’d you lose your sense of wonder? / The firework goin’ off in your head / ’Cause there was a time we weren’t thinkin’, we were flyin’ / We were alive / I wanna feel alive.” Next is “The One You Need” which follows the same energy. It’s in the same vein as “Love Is A Wild Thing” by Kacey Musgraves – it’s ethereal in its sound and lyrically, about finding a love you can trust.
Eldredge collaborated with Ian Fichituk and Daniel Tashian, who are responsible for projects like Musgraves’ Golden Hour, Little Big Town’s Nightfall, and their band, Skyline Motel’s After Dark. “I couldn’t imagine having created this album with anyone other than Ian and Daniel, who are both incredible and so musically inclined,” Eldredge stated in a press release. “I’ve always wanted to have more space for my voice, not only vocally but also lyrically, and they provided a way for me to do that with this beautiful music. Collaborating with them helped take this album to wonderfully different places, introducing me to a unique sound that is unlike any of my other records.”
Songs like “Fall For Me” and “Then You Do” are two of the more starry-eyed, poppy vibes on the project, while tracks like “Magnolia”, “When I Die”, and “Fix a Heart” lean on the Americana/Triple A-side. Eldredge’s love of indie-pop, traditional country, and swing jazz are sprinkled in each song differently. Sometimes it’s through a slide guitar or a brush drum, or through the storytelling and powerful vocal delivery. No matter the track, everything remains cohesive.
“I knew I had to do things differently this time, so I threw caution to the wind and got away from all that I was comfortable with in order to go deeper,” Eldredge said. “I didn’t even listen to the radio for a year because I didn’t want to know what music somebody else was making. Not because I don’t care, but because I had to figure out what I needed to say for myself. By making sure I wasn’t being influenced by anything other than what my heart was saying, I was able to write what I wanted to, which was important. Recording this album ended up being the most powerful thing I’ve ever been a part of.”
“Sunday Drive”, the title track and the only song that Eldredge didn’t have a hand in writing, and closer “Paris, Illinois”, are beautifully cinematic and atmospheric. Eldredge’s love of the blue-eyed soul is at it’s most prominent, and you can hear the emotion in his voice telling the story. “And that’s where I learned it all, from them / To fight, to love, to laugh again / Man, I thought we were only wasting time / Out on a Sunday drive”. Eldredge grew up in a map-dot town, but it doesn’t matter where you’re from or who you are; these stories are universal, and a reminder of how much we share in common. “Paris, Illinois”, is truly a musical moment. The minute-long outro feels like the end of an old-school black-and-white movie, where there’s a convertible going down the road in slow motion. It’s as if the credits are rolling, and you can take in the whole picture that is Sunday Drive. It’s reflective and classic, which is exactly what the album is.
“You have to give yourself permission to do anything in life, to be brave a little bit,” Eldredge explained. “I got to a certain point where I felt like I wasn’t giving enough of myself and it took a lot of self-awareness to finally realize that if I do have more in me, then I’ve got to step up and take that step off the edge.”
Eldredge did more than just take that step off the edge. He opened his heart, jumped, and took a chance that resulted in this timeless album. In 50 years, when people talk about Brett Eldredge, this is the record they’ll remember. It’s not about radio airplay or hit chasing. It’s about taking the long way down a road until you know where you’re going. He held on to these messages and songs for a long time, and it may have taken 7 years and a few detours, but Brett Eldredge has finally arrived.

One of the more profound and innovative vocalists in the country music genre is Ross Ellis. We named him one of our 2020 Artists to Watch because of his undeniable charm and talent, as well as, for his creative songwriting. On the heels of success with tracks like “Buy and Buy” and “Home To Me,” Ellis released his newest song “Love Blind” today.
Ellis finds away to bare his soul with each song that he releases. He time and time again invites fans into his heart and mind, hoping that they will accept him and his talent. On “Love Blind” Ellis takes that notion of hoping to be “good enough” and internalizes that onto this track. The new song is all about acknowledging your past and your wrongdoings, but hoping it does not impact your current relationship.
“I guess she loves like you do / Tell all your angels to work overtime / Stay on both shoulders / Keep me in line / You walked on water and turned it to wine / So Lord make me better and keep her love blind”
For Ellis, blind love seems to mean full acceptance. He hopes that a higher power will keep him on the right path to make this relationship work because it is important to him. I think we can all understand that intense desire and hope in a relationship; however, the singer-songwriter finds a way to evoke those emotions through poetic lyrics and vulnerable sentiments, with killer guitar riffs and vocal layering to add to the already impressive ambiance.
“Love Blind” 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.

Back in December 2019, during his opening slot on the CMT on Tour with Michael Ray, Swag Session alumni, Jimmie Allen performed a killer new song called “Good Times Roll”. The singer-songwriter teased that the song would come later this year and featured a collaboration with none other than cross-genre recording artist Nelly.
Now, as 2020 quickly becomes pretty much the worst year of existence, fans everywhere can rejoice knowing that Allen will officially release the catchy new song along with an entire album of all-star collaborations this Friday, July 10th. Check out a sneak peek of the song in the video below.
“Good Times Roll” is a perfectly titled tune geared towards making fans dance and sing along. Written with rapper Nelly, the new jam even features a snippet of Nelly’s classic song “Country Grammar” of his debut record. The new song is infectious and will get stuck in your head after just a single listen. Allen is proving that his talent resonates across genre lines and that modern country music has no boundaries for a reason.
When it comes to his co-writer, Nelly is no stranger to collaborations. He has collaborated with everyone from Simple Plan to other hip-hop artists to even country’s own Florida Georgia Line on their smash hit “Cruise.” He also earned himself a major crossover hit with his song “Over and Over Again” featuring Tim McGraw and penned his own country tune, “Sound Good to Me.”
In addition to Nelly, the new album, titled Bettie James, also features artists like Brad Paisley, Charley Pride, Darius Rucker, Mickey Guyton, Tim McGraw and more. If each song is anything like this one, we know it will be an album full of greats.
Bettie James will be available Friday, July 10th across all streaming platforms. For the latest new tunes in country music, follow our ‘New Country Music’ playlist.

During the opening night of Kane Brown’s Worldwide Beautiful Tour, the country superstar debuted a brand new, unreleased track called, “Be Like That”. Brown prefaced the song, claiming that it would officially be released sometime in 2020 and would be his next single to pop radio. Further adding that the song would have a surprise collaboration that he was really excited about.
Although 2020 has had many ups and downs, (let’s face it, mostly downs), fans will be excited to learn that the catchy song is finally being released to all streaming platforms this Friday, July 10th. Brown teased the news on his Instagram with a save the date and announcing Khalid and Swae Lee would join him on the track.
“Be Like That” is another heavily produced track in which the singer describes his complicated relationship.

New Music Fridays continues to be something to look forward to each and every week. We genuinely appreciate country artists continuing to release music that we all love, during this unprecedented and chaotic time in our country. Last Friday, newcomer, Jaden Hamilton released two brand new songs entitled “Long Night Letting Go” and “Found Myself in a Country Song.”
Both songs showcase Hamilton’s unique perspective as a songwriter, as well as, his vocal ability. The Louisiana native has a knack for telling stories and delivering catchy lyrics. “Long Night Letting Go” is a sensual and vulnerable track, where Hamilton explores the intricacies of a dwindling romantic relationship. Although the singer did not co-write this tune, it’s clear he knows what heartbreak feels like.
On the contrary “Found Myself in a Country Song” was co-written by Hamilton with fellow songwriters, Carlton Anderson and Matthew McVaney. This new jam is a fun and enticing ode to country music. It’s relatable and embodies exactly how we all feel about music. After all, music is healing and feeling, and story-telling is at the heart of the genre.
“First time I cranked that Strait, I couldn’t turn it down / On that front porch swing, blaring through the house / Amarillo By Morning, I can hear it now / First time I cranked that truck, I drove way too fast / Liked up a cloud of dust, had the radio blasting / Red dirt road, it made me who I am / I found myself in a country song”
Hamilton blew up via his social media channels, specifically on TikTok, and will be interesting to see how his diehard fanbase and social media marketing skills continue to help him blossom into music stardom. We look forward to more releases by the singer-songwriter.
“Long Night Letting Go” and “Found Myself in a Country Song” are now available everywhere you buy or stream music.
