Clayton Mullen is turning over a new leaf this summer, and truly upping the ante with his music. Fresh off signing with G Major MGMT, the rising artist is stepping into an exciting new chapter with the release of his latest single, “Can’t Compete With Carolina,” the first taste of his upcoming project.

His heartfelt vocals bring the story to life, while the melodic, easy-listening production makes the emotional lyrics hit even harder.
