Dylan Marlowe Shares New Single “You Did It Too”

/in , , /by

Dylan Marlowe shares a brand new single, “You Did It Too,” out now, February 2nd, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

Dylan Marlowe is one of the most exciting new singer-songwriters in country music right now. However, like many artists, he has faced some criticism with his music from some country outlets after releasing a collaboration called “Boys Back Home” with Dylan Scott. While we thought the song was a true anthem for the country lifestyle, one outlet did not agree. This led to Marlowe writing and releasing a new single called, “You Did It Too,” out today.

I wrote this song after ‘Boys Back Home’ came out in a pretty angry moment,” shared the singer in a recent press release. “Usually I don’t let internet hate get to me but something about the hate behind a song I wrote because of how and what I grew up doing hit me different. ‘You Did It Too’ is my response to that hate, and it’s the most honest song I’ve ever written. Every line is true to my life. I write and sing songs about the way of life I know, and you’d probably get it if you did it too.”

“You can’t talk no smack // Yeah, unless you came up something like that // You’d get it if you did it // If you grew up right there in it // But you didn’t, so what gives you // the right to // Talk all that trash about our side of these tracks // Yeah, my backroad come back is you // Yeah, you’d get it, if you did it too”

“You Did It Too” is a catchy and honest moment in Marlowe’s growing catalog. The song solidifies that he truly believes in everything he writes about, and that the experiences, no matter how cliche they may seem to some are actually real and authentic to his story. The new single is one of our favorites from the singer so far, and it will be fun to see how his catalog continues to grow in 2024.

/in , , /by

Dylan Marlowe and Dylan Scott collaborate on their new song “Boys Back Home” out now, October 27th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

There’s nothing quite like country music collaborations! Today, fans are in for a real treat. Dylan Marlowe and Dylan Scott are joining forces to deliver a high-energy new song called, “Boys Back Home.” The rising star and hitmaker show off their undeniable musical chemistry and talent on this fun-loving new jam.

“Boys Back Home” perfectly embodies the fun and upbeat side of both artists. While both Marlowe and Scott know how to deliver a heartfelt tune, it is exciting to hear what a more mid-tempo song sounds like from the singers. “Boys Back Home” is a feel-good anthem for small town living; however, the song came be applicable to anyone who misses their crew back home.

“Here’s to the boys back home, drinkin’ dirt road beers on a Friday night // Yeah I’m wishin’ I was with y’all singin’ them old songs, trucks circled up round a farm fire”

“Boys Back Home” will definitely be a hit on the road for both Marlowe and Scott respectively. We look forward to seeing what each individual artist has coming down the pipeline next in their blossoming careers.

Dylan Marlowe: ‘Dirt Road When I Die’ EP Review

/in , , /by

Dylan Marlowe shares brand new EP, Dirt Road When I Die, out now, July 7th on all streaming platforms.  Listen to the new EP now.

Since making his major-label debut in January, Dylan Marlowe has been impressing fans across the country. The singer-songwriter had a knack for creating modern music that resonates across the genre. Today, his brand new project, Dirt Road When I Die is officially out featuring eight songs.

The new EP kicks off perfectly with Marlowe’s debut single, “Record High.” On the previously released track, the singer proves how talented of an artist he is. Easily a song that any established artist would love to cut, “Record High” is one of those special songs that cement the talent of an up and coming artist.

Dirt Road When I Die EP is full of those types of songs. From songs like “Record High” to touching songs for his wife like “You Were Right (Nat’s Song)” and everything in between, Marlowe proves his staying power. On the latter track, Marlowe tugs at the listeners’ heartstrings. “You Were Right” is quite possibly the engagement song of the year.

Marlowe’s songwriting talent continues to be on full display on songs like “Grew Up Country” and “Empty Shotgun (Mr. Mechanic).” Both songs showcase the singer’s fresh and authentic approach to music. “Grew Up Country” is Marlowe’s love letter to his hometown, while “Empty Shotgun” is a heart-wrenching, yet beautiful break-up song.

“Ain’t like there’s nothing in the tank // It’s full of 87 // I don’t think it’s what you think // Yeah, this thing runs like heaven // If you wanna know why // I can’t drive // When I climb in this truck // Yeah, it’s got a cab full of memories // And an empty shotgun”

Marlowe’s new songs, “What I Know Now,” the title track, and “Rich Kids” are impressive additions to the singer’s growing catalog of music. “What I Know Now” belongs on the radio because of its relatability and catchy melody, while “Rich Kids” is true, bottled up nostalgia in song-form. However, the title track, “Dirt Road When I Die” is a true standout on the EP. The song is a perfect accompaniment to “Grew Up Country.”

Although his career is still young, Marlowe proves with each and every release that he can hang with the best of them. The singer-songwriter knows how to craft a meaningful lyric and relays each message he writes with incredible ability and authentic vulnerability. Dirt Road When I Die EP is a solid record that deserves every fan it earns him!

Dirt Road When I Die EP Track List:

  1. Record High
  2. What I Know Now
  3. Dirt Road When I Die
  4. You See Mine
  5. Rich Kids
  6. You Were Right (Nat’s Song)
  7. Empty Shotgun (Mr. Mechanic)
  8. Grew Up Country

Dylan Marlowe Drops Two New Songs “Grew Up Country” & “Empty Shotgun”

/in , , /by

Dylan Marlowe drops two new songs “Grew Up Country” and “Empty Shotgun,” out now, March 23rd, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new tracks below.

Newly signed recording-artist, Dylan Marlowe is giving fans a double taste of his undeniable charm and talent. The singer-songwriter drops two brand new songs, “Grew Up Country” and “Empty Shotgun (Mr. Mechanic)” out today.

The first of the two tracks, “Grew Up Country,” is Marlowe’s love letter to his hometown. While many artists talk about their country roots and how proud they are to be from their hometowns, Marlowe’s approach is fresh, innovative, and feels authentic to his artistry.

“I wouldn’t have it any other way, thank God I was born and raised // Down there where the street ends and the creek bends // Weekends, we’d spend our money on // Cold beers from the county store, a couple inches on a 4×4 // Lord knows there’s a lot of ways that we coulda came up, buddy //But I’m glad we grew up country”

The singer’s second new song, “Empty Shotgun (Mr. Mechanic)” is a songwriter’s song. Written by Marlowe with Seth Ennis and Joe Fox, the artist uses double meanings and wordplay to convey his heartbreak. In its most simplistic form, the new song is as relatable as they come, while still being clever.

“Ain’t like there’s nothing in the tank // It’s full of 87 // I don’t think it’s what you think // Yeah, this thing runs like heaven // If you wanna know why // I can’t drive // When I climb in this truck // Yeah, it’s got a cab full of memories // And an empty shotgun”

Although his career is still young, Marlowe proves with each and every release that he can hang with the best of them. The singer-songwriter knows how to craft a meaningful lyric and relays each message he writes with incredible ability and authentic vulnerability.

/in , , /by

Dylan Marlowe’s brand new single “Record High,” is out now, January 27th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

Dylan Marlowe is an artist to watch out for this year. He is also Sony Music Nashville’s newest signee! In his young career, Marlowe has already made a name for himself, landing his first number-one as a songwriter last year with Jon Pardi’s “Last Night Lonely” and going out on tour with Cole Swindell and Ashley Cooke. Today, the singer-songwriter releases his highly anticipated new single, “Record High.”

Marlowe’s new song feels like a song that could easily be a cut on an Eric Church album, while still paying homage to both the traditional side of country music and the more modern era. The all-too-relatable heartbreak lyric will keep this song on everyone’s radar. Fans across the genre will want to play “Record High” again and again.

“I’ve never seen nobody leave somebody like that // Cause I ain’t never seen gravel fly that high // Ain’t never seen more tears in a pair of green eyes // Ain’t never seen taillights burn that bright // Never heard her cuss more than she did last night // I ain’t ever, it’s gotta be a record high // Goodbye”

Marlowe’s new song has the potential to be one of our favorites to come out this month so far. It will be really fun to continue to see what the singer unveils as the year continues.

Who Is Dylan Marlowe? The Story Behind His Journey to Country Music

/in , , /by

Who is Dylan Marlowe? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about his journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

who-is-dylan-marlowe

Quick Facts:

Full Name – Dylan James Marlowe
Birthdate – 6/9/1997
Hometown – Statesboro, Georgia
Current City – Nashville, Tennesee
Musical Influences – Tracy Lawrence, Keith Whitley, Linkin Park, Nickelback, Kenny Chesney
Label – Play It Again Publishing
Current Single – “Why’d We Break Up Again”

 

The Beginning:

Today we’re introducing you to a singer-songwriter that is about to blow up! Dylan Marlowe is the real deal. We chatted with the newcomer about his journey to Nashville, his new music, and what he has planned for the rest of the year. Keep reading to find out more.

Marlowe grew up in Statesboro, Georgia, where baseball was his number one passion until music found its way into his heart. “I had a buddy who had a guitar and I didn’t really get into music until my senior year of high school I think, in 2015,” began the singer. “Once I began writing my own music and playing guitar, that’s when I really fell in love,” he continued.

Despite not truly finding his love for making music until his senior year, the singer recalls being a fan of music in general at an early age. “I always liked music,” he shared, adding, “My upbringing was very different musically. My dad used to play drums in like a heavy-metal, Christian-rock band, so he was always very rock and roll and my mom was very country, so I kind of got a hard mix of the two somewhere down the road.”

He credits his parents for his love of artists like Linkin Park and Kenny Chesney. Later, he discovered traditional country music on his own. “When I got into country music, I found old country just on my own and really fell in love with Tracey Lawerence and Keith Whitley and all that stuff,” shared Marlowe. “Then when I discovered Eric Church, it was all over.”

The Turning Point:

Eventually, the singer started taking his passion for music a bit more seriously. “I had a few buddies in Nashville at the time that were from Statesboro and we kind of had this open night mic in town and a couple of the guys had been doing it for a while and they were singing their own stuff. […]  I was like I want to sing songs that I wrote that other people sing back to me. That kind of sparked that songwriter side of me.”

Despite considering a future in music, Marlowe still went to college for one year, and subsequently, worked for his father for the next two years. It was at the encouragement of his Dad, that he finally gave music a fair shot. “He was the one who said ‘man are you going to work with me forever or are you going to go there and do what you want to be doing’.”

Now, Marlowe has officially been a Nashville resident for four years, cutting his teeth on the happening singer-songwriter, country scene. As fate would have it, the singer also scored his first number one as a songwriter this year with the Jon Pardi single, “Last Night Lonely.”

“I was going to cut it. It was supposed to be one of my first songs, and I told all the publishers not to pitch it, and one of them accidentally did, and they were like Jon Pardi wants to cut it and potentially single it,” shared the singer, admitting that it was a crazy moment in his young career.

Today:

Flash forward to now, Marlowe is now sharing music of his own. Most recently, the singer-songwriter released a high-energy song called “Why’d We Break Up Again.” “The song is a fun song for sure. I didn’t even think I was going to put it out when we wrote it […] It kind of has this pop-punk element to it in a way, but when I went on tour in the spring it kind of opened my eyes to a lot.”

According to the singer, fans want energy and a fun set. “I feel like, in my opinion, if you’re not giving crazy energy for thirty minutes, why would those people come out to see you?,” adding later, “I have to do my best to win everybody over.”

Marlowe anticipates another uptempo song coming out soon too; however, after that, he is excited to put out slower music that he is also proud of. “I definitely have songs [coming] that are more ‘songwriter-y’, drawing from my Eric Church influence.”

As we await more music, catch Marlowe on tour with Cole Swindell this fall.
