Cole Swindell: ‘Stereotype Broken’ – Deluxe Album Review

/in , , , /by

Cole Swindell’s brand new deluxe album, Stereotype Broken, is out now, April 28th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new music below and check out our full review.

About a year after releasing his fourth studio album, ‘Stereotype’, Cole Swindell is sharing four more songs on the deluxe version, ‘Stereotype Broken’.  

The project kicks off with “Sad Ass Country Song”. Written by Swindell, Josh Miller, Matt Dragstrem, and Joel Hutsell, (who is the singer-songwriter’s good friend and bandmate), will take you right in the thick of a sad country music song while the singer is trying to get over a failed relationship. Starting off with an epic pedal steel guitar solo, Swindell makes references to not only the classics, he also wishes legends Keith Whitley, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings were with him as they’ve been through similar heartbreak situations. It’s such a unique twist on a heartbreak song that hasn’t been done before. It certainly shows Swindell’s talent and shows off his drive to put his own spin on things.

“I’m bluer than that neon up on the wall\ Drownin’ my sorrows in grain alcohol // Everywhere I show up, I bring em’ all down // Like a pedal steel follows me around // I’d be better off the jukebox // Then here on this stool top // ‘Cause girl, ever since you’ve been gone // I’m a walkin’, talkin’, honky-tonkin’, sad ass country song”

Next up is “Broken”.  At first glance, you may think it is going to be a breakup song. However, it’s quite the opposite. Written by Swindell, Hillary Lindsey, Chris LaCorte, and Cole Taylor, this song  shares a great message, being our hearts aren’t meant to be broken. They are meant to be loved. The Georgia native does a great job of  reassuring the audience someone is out there to bring us up, not down.

“Wasn’t meant to be broken // Wasn’t meant to be in pieces // It was made to be loved // Done by someone who’ll never leave it”

The third track is the previously released track “Drinkaby”. In a recent press release, Swindell shared that he has envisioned this song as a show opener and that’s exactly what it should be. Written by Hunter Phelps, Jon Pardi, Jordan Schmidt, and Hardy, this is one of the most upbeat breakup songs we’ve heard. The track is about heading down to the bar and enjoying all the drinks including whiskey, tequila, bourbon, and more to get over a broken heart. Intertwining childhood memories with heartache, this track is for sure to climb the charts quickly.

 “Hush little cowboy, don’t you cry // Bartender’s got you some whiskey on ice // And if that whiskey ain’t a big enough pour // Drink another and another ’til you lay down on the floor // Come on // This is my drinkaby”

The final bonus track is “She Had Me At Heads Carolina – Remix”. You may be asking yourself how could Swindell make this number one song even better? By adding Jo Dee Messina, the original artist of the 1996 hit “Heads Carolina, Tails California”, to the track is how. Swindell and Messina’s voices blend together perfectly and Messina’s solos certainly show why the original song is not only a classic, but continues to be a favorite.

Swindell has a busy summer and fall planned. Starting this month, he is joining Thomas Rhett on the road for the Home Team Tour 23. Then in October will headline the 12 Tour where he is hitting 12 cities and will play 12 different sets. Nate Smith, Conner Smith and Avery Anna will be joining him and that will certainly be a show to see! 

Stereotype is filled with so many incredible songs, it only made sense to release the deluxe version. You can tell Swindell put a lot of effort into this album and wanted to show his fans a more vulnerable side to him while also staying true to who he is as an artist.

Cole Swindell Releases New Song “Drinkaby” Ahead of Deluxe Album

/in , , /by

Cole Swindell’s new song, “Drinkaby” is out now, January 27th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

We all have our favorite lullabies we used to sing when we were kids. Now we have our favorite as an adult with Cole Swindell’s new song “Drinkaby”.

Written by Hunter Phelps, Jon Pardi, Jordan Schmidt, and HARDY, this is one of the most upbeat breakup songs we’ve heard. The track is about heading down to the bar and enjoying all the drinks including whiskey, tequila, bourbon, and more to get over a broken heart. It follows Swindell’s hit single “Heads Carolina” with the idea of revamping the 90s country sound. Intertwining childhood memories with heartache, this track is sure to climb the charts quickly.

In a recent press release, the Georgia native shared how excited he was for the release. “’Drinkaby,’ from the first time I heard it, I pictured it being a huge show opener,” said Swindell. “The guitar lick in the intro just grabs you and doesn’t let you go. I’m not sure if there is such thing as a fun breakup song but that’s kind of what this is. Glad it’s finally out and can’t wait to get out there and play it live.”

“Hush little cowboy, don’t you cry // Bartender’s got you some whiskey on ice // And if that whiskey ain’t a big enough pour // Drink another and another ’til you lay down on the floor // Come on // This is my drinkaby”

After a big 2022, Swindell is keeping the momentum going. He is releasing his deluxe album, Stereotype Broken on April 28th. He will also be hitting the road this summer with Thomas Rhett. Big things are certainly ahead for Swindell and we can’t wait to watch his career continue to thrive!

Cole Swindell Performs Emotional 9/11 Tribute at World Trade Center

/in , /by

Back in May 2016, singer-songwriter Cole Swindell visited New York City to perform his hit single “You Should Be Here” on Fox and Friends in honor of the heroes of September 11th, 2001. Set on top of World Trade Center Four with the Freedom Tower of One World Trade Center creating the perfect backdrop, Swindell gave a whole new meaning to the powerful song which was originally written in memory of his father.

Families of those who lost their lives in the attacks on 9/11, first responders, and military personnel were all invited to attend the special performance. Before beginning, Swindell adds “This is absolutely the most special thing I’ve ever got a chance to do. I want everybody to know how much I respect this place and respect the families.”

Check out the full video below.

Here Are All of Cole Swindell’s Number One Songs in His Catalog

/in , , /by

Here are all of Cole Swindell’s number one songs on country radio in his music catalog. The singer-songwriter has twelve number ones to his name.

We love reminiscing about all the great country music to hit country radio over the last few years. In our brand new series, we’re looking back on the songs that made it to the top of the country airplay charts. Today, we’re highlighting songs in Cole Swindell’s career that hit the number one spot.

 

“Chillin’ It”- Cole Swindell

Making his artist debut in 2014, “Chillin’ It” was the first single off of Swindell’s first album. Before the singer-songwriter was even signed to a label, he sold 100,000 copies of this track by word of mouth and social media. It’s not only a special track but also timeless. “Chillin’ It” is perfect song to play during the summer as you’re driving with your windows down.

 

“Hope You Get Lonely Tonight” – Cole Swindell

The Georgia native certainly started off his singing career strong with another number one off of his debut album. This track is relatable as it tells the story of feeling pain from a breakup but normalizing that it’s ok to miss the other person and wanting to reconcile, even if it’s for one night.

 

“Ain’t Worth the Whiskey”- Cole Swindell

A true staple in Swindell’s catalog. Written by Swindell, Adam Sanders, and Josh Martin, this shows the talents of the award-winning artist’s storytelling. It’s not only a song about getting over a breakup but also a song to honor the men and women serving our country. Every time Swindell plays this song live, he takes a moment to thank not only the service men and women in our military but also first responders. It’s a special moment that you should experience if you haven’t already!

 

“Let Me See Ya Girl”– Cole Swindell

With his fourth consecutive number one from his debut album, Swindell was the first and only solo male artist in the history of the Mediabase chart to have his first four singles hit number one. Staying with his chill vibe, this is another song that always has the crowd up on their feet with their arms swinging.

 

“You Should Be Here” – You Should Be Here

“You Should Be Here” was the first single off of Swindell’s sophomore album. It’s one of the first times we got a look into the artist’s personal life. An emotional song about losing his father, this song is relatable for anyone who has ever lost a loved one. 

 

“Middle of a Memory” – You Should Be Here

The great storytelling continued with Swindell’s sixth number one. Written by Swindell, Zach Crowell, and Ashley Gorley, it’s a track that tells a relatable story of meeting someone on the dance floor but then being interrupted and never being reunited. It questions the love that could have been.

 

“Flatliner” (Featuring Dierks Bentley) – You Should Be Here

Swindell wrote this song with Dierks Bentley in mind. Bentley is a mentor of Swindell’s, and it was a dream come true when the superstar agreed to collaborate! The hit song led to the 2015 ACM New Artist of the year breaking his own record of being the only solo artist in the history of Country Aircheck\Mediabase to top the chart with their first seven singles. 

 

“Love You Too Late”- All of It

A song that shares the message of don’t wait to say I love you or it might be too late was the second single off of Swindell’s third studio album. This wasn’t the first time that Swindell, Brandon Kinney, and Michael Carter wrote a song together but it was their first number one.

 

“Single Saturday Night” – Stereotype

“Single Saturday Night” was lucky number ten. Written for his new album Stereotype, this track is a fun twist on finding your person.  With a shoutout to the popular hard seltzer, White Claw, it makes you think when will your last single Saturday night be? 

 

“Never Say Never” (with Lainey Wilson) – Stereotype

Swindell’s latest number one song doubles as his first-ever duet, “Never Say Never” with Lainey Wilson. The love song lands Swindell his 11th number one hit.

 

“She Had Me At Heads Carolina” – Stereotype

Swindell’s twelfth number one single, “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” was a standout from his latest record. After just one listen, “She Had Me At Heads Carolina,” will get stuck in your head. The song is a fun riff on the classic country song, “Heads Carolina, Tails California.” Swindell shines on this song, as he shares the fun meet-cute story through the verses.

 

We’re certain Swindell will add to this list for a long time coming as he continues to put out hit after hit. Nonetheless, this impressive list is just the artist’s number ones as a singer. He also has quite a few as a songwriter. So it’s no secret that he’s quite talented and we can’t wait to watch his career continue to thrive!

Cole Swindell & Lainey Wilson’s Song “Never Say Never” Goes #1

/in , , /by

Cole Swindell and Lainey Wilson’s song “Never Say Never” officially goes number one at country radio this week. Check out the #1 song here…

Collaborations are all the rage in country music right now! Last week, Dierks Bentley, HARDY, and BRELAND’s song “Beers On Me,” found its way to the top of the country charts. Today, Cole Swindell and Lainey Wilson’s killer duet, “Never Say Never” is number one.

Back in November, Swindell and Wilson mesmerized fans with their unexpected, but perfect collaboration. Written by Swindell, Jessi Alexander, and Chase McGill the edgy track starts out with a guitar before Wilson sings the first line, “I told my momma” followed by Swindell with “I told my friends.” The two continue to trade lines, until the chorus. Eventually, the singers begin to harmonize in the chorus.

“I never say never with you // I end up together with you // It’s Hell, and it’s Heaven with you, baby // anything’s possible // the highs are unstoppable // it’s so uncontrollable, it’s crazy // we say we won’t, and then we do // you’re all I want // I never say never with you”

“Never Say Never” marks the eleventh number-one single for Swindell and the second for Wilson in her young career. Congrats to the entertainers on the #1!

Cole Swindell: ‘Stereotype’ – Album Review

/in , , , /by

Cole Swindell’s brand new album, Stereotype, is out now, April 8th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new music below and check out our full review.

After four years, Cole Swindell has released his fourth studio album, Stereotype. Filled with heartbreak and love, this is one of Swindell’s most passionate and personal projects to date.

When you look up the word stereotype in the dictionary, it is defined as a “simplified and standardized conception or image invested with special meaning and held in common by members of a group”. On this album, Swindell wants us to see that there is more to people then who society labels them as.

He does a great job starting with the title track.  Written by Swindell, Michael Hardy and Jordan Schmidt, “Stereotype” is upbeat and about falling in love with a country girl who has many different layers to her. “Girl Gone Crazy” shares a similar message. Accompanied by crisp guitar solos, it reminds you that everyone is going through something, and you can’t judge them for their actions. We’ve all done something out of character and that shouldn’t be who we are defined as.

“Save your psychopath and don’t judge that black dress book by the tear straight cover girl // Cause she’s a small town mama lovin’ settle down house on a hill and raise up a couple of babies // She’s living proof that some stupid boys the only reason a girl goes crazy”.

From breaking stereotypes to falling in love, Swindell allows us to see a vulnerable side of him. Pouring his heart and powerful vocals into ballad tracks “I’m Gonna Let Her” and “Some Habits,” you can tell that he is genuinely happy and ready to take the next steps in his relationship. 

The singer-songwriter also reminds us that not every relationship lasts and everyone goes through a heartbreak.   “How is She” is one of the most heartfelt breakup songs out there. It’s about asking how your ex is doing so well while you are still coping with a broken heart.

“How is she making friends, making rent // I gotta know // How is she doing fine, smiling in all her pictures // How is she getting drunk and not sending one damn I miss ya”

It’s no secret that the Georgia Native is a huge 90’s country fan as he always showcases his love with a set during his live shows. The track “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” honors that along with Jo Dee Messina’s song, “Heads California, Tails California”. It’s about falling in love with a girl who sings this at karaoke and has a love for 90s country. The guitar, drums, and lyrics will have you up and dancing every time you hit play.

“Every Beer” is a reminder that these past couple of years have been tough on everyone and has really opened your eyes to enjoy every moment of what you have. This song reminds you to live in the moment, take that trip, live with no regrets.

“Call your momma // See the world // Get the tattoo // Kiss the girl // Count your blessings // Thank your stars”

Swindell certainly knows how to pick artists to accompany him on his music. Teaming up with fellow artist and award-winning songwriter, HARDY for “Down to the Bar”, the two show us how to get over a broken heart with a few drinks. While they may not sing conjointly, the two still fit well together alternating with each verse and chorus.  They are the perfect duo and we would join them for a drink anytime! He also teamed up with fellow award-winning artist Lainey Wilson for their duet “Never Say Never”. While they have their own unique voices, their vocals blend together perfectly creating a hit. It’s no wonder it is quickly climbing the charts.

Closing out the album, “Walk on Whiskey” is one of the purest, most honest songs about coping with losing a loved one. Swindell lost his mom in September, and he pours out his emotions in this beautiful acoustic track. It shares a heartfelt message of while the people who mean the most to you can’t be here forever, they’ll always be watching over you.

Stereotype is filled with so many incredible songs including number one song “Single Saturday Night”. You can tell that this album means a lot to Swindell and he put his blood, sweat, and tears into it. It was certainly worth the four-year wait.

Stereotype Tracklist:

  1. Stereotype
  2. Every Beer
  3. Never Say Never (Cole Swindell & Lainey Wilson)
  4. She Had Me At Heads Carolina

/in , , /by

Cole Swindell’s new love song, “I’m Gonna Let Her” is out now, February 4th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

Cole Swindell is gearing up for Valentine’s Day with his new song, “I’m Gonna Let Her.” The romantic tune is about finding that special someone and allowing them to show you their definition of love. When you are in a relationship, you have to be willing to try new things and be open to vulnerability. Those two things will help you get to that next step in your relationship and that’s what this song captures. Filled with beautiful acoustics and powerful vocals, this is one of Swindell’s most personal songs to date.

“And I’m gonna let her // Keep on making this life of mine a little better // showing me all about love right down to the letter // So if she wants to think I’m thinking about forever // I’m gonna let her.”

Swindell teased the song by featuring the first verse as a sound on TikTok accompanied by a collage of photos featuring him and his girlfriend, Courtney Little. Little accompanied Swindell in his music video for “Some Habits”.
