Lindsay Ell’s New Song “Right On Time” is an Anthem – Listen Now

Lindsay Ell releases her brand new song, “Right On Time,” out now, April 27th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new song below.

Singer-songwriter, Lindsay Ell has always been really honest and vulnerable in her music. Fans show up to support her in droves because of her undeniable talent and authentic nature. Today, Ell proves again how honest she truly is. Her new song “Right On Time” is out now.

The new song is a bonafide anthem for single people or people who thought they would be somewhere else by now. Instead of focusing on missing out, Ell creates a supportive environment where women and men alike can find camaraderie. The visualizer for the project further shares this incredible concept.

“I got a friend that just got married, again // I don’t know what the hell that girl does // I can’t even find a plus one // My mama said I’m just too picky, I guess // But isn’t that better than selling life short for someone that you’re settling for // There’s nothing wrong if it takes a bit longer to figure it out // at least that’s what I tell myself”

“I think women spend a lot of time feeling like they might miss their ‘time’ in life – their time to be beautiful, to be a mother, to have their dream career, to work their ass off. It’s a constant fear that we might miss the very thing we want by focusing on something else, and I think I’m just done worrying about that,” shared Ell in a recent press release. “This is a new dawn for me. I’m stepping into my new music, unapologetically feeling that I can be certain I’m right where I want to be. “Right On Time” is my own theme song.” Amen to that Lindsay!

Cassadee Pope Releases New Song with Lindsay Ell & Karen Fairchild

Cassadee Pope is joined by Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild and Lindsay Ell on brand new song, “What The Stars See”. Available now, May 7th, on all streaming platforms, take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new track.

“What the Stars See”, written by Pope along with Jake Rose and Lindsay Rimes, and produced by Nick Wheeler of All-American Rejects and Karen Fairchild, is an explosive track that perfectly expresses the blend of musical style and backgrounds of the different collaborators involved from production to vocals. The song describes the desire to be able to peek into the life of someone who used to be a part of your life but no longer is.

On the story behind the song, Pope shares: “I was inspired to write ‘What The Stars See’ after sitting outside one night looking up at the stars, curious what their perspective might be looking down on us…It made me think back to times in my life when I had just come out of a relationship but still felt so connected to the other person. I imagined having the superpower to be among the stars and observe, from their perspective, an ex moving on with their life (or not).” 

That ‘or not’ aspect demonstrates the tone of the track. While the idea could be interpreted to be sorrowful and having a great sense of missing someone, the way that Pope, Fairchild, and Ell present the song as the powerhouse female vocalists that they are is a much edgier ‘just wondering’ take on the story behind the song. 

“I wanna see what the stars see // Are you good, are you sad, are you missin’ me? // Are you a little bit lonely? // I wanna know what you’re feeling underneath // That midnight, moonlight, heartbreak sky // Wishin I could read your mind // You left me in the dark and wherever you are, I wanna be // Tonight, I wanna see what the stars see”

Cassadee Pope's new song, "What The Sars See" featuring Karen Fairchild and Lindsay Ell is available now, May 7th, on all streaming platforms

NYCS First Impression: Lindsay Ell ‘Heart Theory’

lindsay ell heart theory

Country music is a genre built on storytelling and real life. Over the past few years, that definition has been watered down by some. It’s not that modern country isn’t fun or meaningful; it’s just that often artists are afraid to “go there” like they used to — they’re afraid to step on people’s toes. Lindsay Ell bared it all on her phenomenal sophomore project heart theory. Sonically, she made a stellar current country-pop record with influences of rock and blues, but conceptually, it’s as country as could be.

heart theory successfully covers the seven stages of grief: shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, testing, and acceptance. Ell explores everything from a breakup that ended badly to working through trauma to finding yourself on the 12-track project. “If theory is the science of music, heart theory is the science of a heart,” Ell said of the record. “I hope this roadmap can be a comfort if you need it, reassurance when you need to remember to believe in yourself or maybe just a glimpse into a memory that’s made you who you are.”

“how good” falls under the denial category and is a groovy, almost funk-pop inspired Brandy Clark co-write. Her vocal range is on full display, from a controlled, mellow verse to a soaring chorus. “You don’t know how good I could love you/Boy if you just would let me love you/You might not think you should/but if I were you I would”, she sings on the chorus.

Ell shows off her bolder side on the three-song anger stage. “wAnt me back”, the current single is an addictively catchy tune. She tells her ex that she knows she’s worth it in a relationship, and if she were in his shoes, she’d miss her too. “You ain’t gonna find nobody like me/I’m the best you ever had and I’m always gonna be, so/If I were you… if I were you/I’d want me back too.”

Sitting in the middle of the album is the fourth stage: bargaining. Written by Ell, Sam Ellis, and Laura Veltz is “body language of a breakup”, a clever representation of watching a relationship fall apart from the outside. Although there are plenty of songs about breakups, this hits the nail right on the head in a completely fresh way. The craftsmanship of heart theory is incredibly unique. None of the 12 tracks sound exactly like something heard on the radio, yet at the same time, they all feel familiar. The lyrics are smartly written, and with Ell’s guitar solos that catch you off guard in the best way, it makes it even more interesting. She’s clearly grown as a writer and artist since her debut, The Project.

The most vulnerable and heartbreaking moment is the second-to-last song, “make you”, which is filed under acceptance. Written by Ell and Clark, is Ell’s story of being a sexual assault survivor. At 13, and again at 21, she was raped. When she decided to make an album as personal as heart theory, she knew she had to tell her story. “I called Brandy, an absolute wordsmith and songwriter genius, and asked her if she would write this song with me. She fearlessly and immediately said yes,” Ell said in a press release. “The day we wrote ‘make you’ I knew we had written something special that will hopefully help others to not feel alone in their survival. And more personally, it was finally the moment in my life where I got to validate that little girl inside – letting her know that ‘I see her and I love her.”

The album ends on a hopeful note. “ReadY to love” is an empowering, upbeat jam about owning who you are and taking back the power after being hurt so many times before. “I’m ready to love again/Ready to trust again/Ready to put my heart back out there/If your heart is out there”, she sings on the chorus. It’s at this moment that you can hear how truly free Ell feels.

Lindsay Ell has been making music for more than half of her life, and with each release, she digs deeper. Not letting a genre or sound define her, she poured her heart out and it paid off big time. Part of what makes this an outstanding and authentic record is that it is the very definition of three chords and the truth. She shared the ups and downs of life, letting every scar show and heal. As she sings on her cover of John Mayer’s “The Heart of Life”, “Pain throws your heart to the ground/Love turned the whole thing around/No, it won’t all go the way it should/But I know the heart of life is good.”

Lindsay Ell Releases “wAnt me back” and Reveals Album Details

LIndsay Ell Want Me Back

Lindsay Ell is a Canadian country songstress that has been on the rise since her debut The Project. She celebrated her success with single “Criminal” off that record and her recent hit with “What Happens In A Small Town” with Brantley Gilbert. Earlier this week, the singer announced her second full-length record slated for release later this summer. Just hours after this announcement, Ell dropped her new single “wAnt me back” following heartbreaker realization “I Don’t Love You” a few months prior.

“wAnt me back,” written alongside Kane Brown, Matt McGinn, and Lindsay Rimes is a confident track of Ell’s straight from the heels of a breakup. The track takes place in the anger period of a breakup, and it shows the country singer + songwriter knows what she is worth. She sings: “If I were you, I’d miss my kiss // I’d miss me keeping you up all night // If I were you, I know that losing me // Would make me lose my mind // You ain’t gonna find nobody like me // I’m the best you ever had // and I’m always gonna be // So if I were you if I were you/ I’d want me back too.”

In coordination with her latest single release, Ell also announced her sophomore album, heart theory, sharing in an Instagram post, “it’s been a long time coming working on LE2, but I am so excited to announce that my sophomore album heart theory is available now for pre-order!! Along with pre-ordering the album, you will be able to hear my next single “wAnt me back”. I wrote this song with kanebrown_music, @matthewmcginn, & @lindsayrimes. It’s all about stepping into your own power. Let me know what you think below!! ”

heart theory combats the seven stages of grief: shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, testing, and acceptance. It’s produced by Dan Huff and will be released on August 14th.

If You Like John Mayer, Then You’ll Love…

John Mayer is one of the few musical artists that most people seem to love. And there’s a reason. He is one of the smartest songwriters, he has an effortless voice and is perhaps, the most influential guitar player of this generation’s wave of musicians. It’s hard to put his music into a genre; he combines the best parts of pop, rock, jam-band, singer-songwriter, and folk-country to create his signature sound. He tells his stories through introspective lyrics and hooky melodies, which is exactly what makes country music special. This season is the perfect time to discover new music, so if you are a fan of John Mayer but aren’t too familiar with country, NYCS has some recommendations for you!

 

Devin Dawson

The self-proclaimed “dark horse” of country music has one of the most unique sounds in Nashville. He’s a little bit brooding but a whole lot of heart, similar to Mayer. Both have the same slick, easy-going voice that makes every song listenable and individuality as people to make their songwriting stand out. Despite both having moodier aesthetics, they both bring so much excitement to their sound. Dawson is the perfect mix of old school country and current indie, and new fans should check out “Secondhand Hurt” and debut single “All On Me”, both off his album Dark Horse.

To keep up with Devin Dawson follow him on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

 

Josh Kerr

Music City’s best-kept secret is the array of talented songwriters and producers. They are the people behind many of your favorite songs, and there’s a chance you didn’t even know it. Josh Kerr is one of them, garnering hits from stars like Camila Cabello, Kelsea Ballerini, and Keith Urban. He released his debut project late last year, and his soft-spoken voice and intense lyrics and cinematic production are perfect for fans of John Mayer. Highlights from his album How Do You Remember Me are “If I’m Being Honest” and “Love Me Now”.

To keep up with Josh Kerr, follow him on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

 

Lindsay Ell

Last but certainly not least on this list is the woman who covered John Mayer’s Continuum front to back. Lindsay Ell is one of the industry’s brightest new artists. She can write, she can sing, and, like Mayer, is one of the best guitar players of this generation. Every song of hers is great already because of their shared passion for a mix of vulnerable writing and fun hook, but her guitar and added production skills take every song to the next level. Songs you need to listen to by Ell are “White Noise” and current single, “I Don’t Love You”.

Lindsay Ell’s Vocals Shine on Haunting New Balled, “I Don’t Love You”

Lindsay Ell, Canadian born singer-songwriter wears her heart on her sleeve for her newly released single, “I Don’t Love You”. The release of this ballad accompanies an exciting first for the artist: a #1 American country radio single for her duet with Brantley Gilbert, “What Happens in a Small Town”. Earlier this year, Ell joined forces with country music veteran Brantley Gilbert to release this jam that has climbed the charts over the past few months.

We’re super excited for the up-and-coming singer and can’t wait for the momentum to keep going with “I Don’t Love You”. Prior to the official release, Ell teased the song during various live sets. After much anticipation, the studio version holds just as much emotion and exceeds fan expectations. The beautiful song shares the singer’s personal experience of going through a breakup, using a haunting amount of detail.

“I don’t open up a bottle with my dinner / ‘Cause I know that it’s just gonna sit out on the counter / And go bad just like the leftovers / You said to leave at the restaurant / I don’t go to anymore ‘cause I won’t go alone”

Ell opens up the song reflecting on her new reality of loneliness, while cleverly embedding memories from her lost relationship into the lyrics. The calming melody and soft guitar twangs throughout the verse bring the listener into a feeling of nostalgia and help build up to the powerful chorus. The Canada native belts into a heartbreaking and dramatic chorus, passionately singing the simple words: “I don’t love you baby / I don’t love you / No, I don’t love you anymore”  Ell’s vocals shine not only during the memorable chorus but throughout the song where she brings listeners on an emotional journey from start to finish.

We’re all very excited to hear what’s next in this new chapter of music. For now, we can catch the rising star take the stage at the 53rd Annual CMA Awards on November 13th.

NYCS First Impression: Brantley Gilbert ‘Fire and Brimstone’

Brantley Gilbert Fire & Brimstone

Brantley Gilbert’s fifth album Fire & Brimstone is here, and it was worth waiting for. The 15-track album shows us a side of the country rebel that we don’t see too often. It’s filled with personal tracks about Gilbert’s struggles, marriage, and what it’s like to be a father. But don’t worry, Gilbert didn’t forget about the fans who enjoy his wild side as there are also quite a few fun and laidback songs that we are used to hearing from the singer-songwriter. What makes this album extra special is Gilbert either wrote or co-wrote each title. As soon as you hit play, you’re in for a ride.

The album starts off with “Fire’t Up.” Written by Gilbert, Brandon Day, and Justin Weaver, the guitar-driven track was the right choice to get the party started. It’s aimed at the artist’s fans who enjoy getting a little rowdy on the weekend. Continuing the party vibe but different from the usual alcohol party anthems we are used to, “Welcome to Hazeville” is a song honoring weed. The track came out just in April just in time for 4/20 and features Colt Ford, Lukas, and the iconic Willie Nelson, who is known for being vocal about marijuana. Written by Gilbert, Rodney Clawson, Andrew DeRoberts, and Ford, it has a mellow tune and does a good job mixing country and rap.

After starting out with the rock anthems, Gilbert takes us along for a personal journey. The first single and the track that completed the album, “What Happens in a Small Town” featuring Lindsay Ell quickly became a fan favorite and is currently climbing its way up the country charts. It’s the singer’s first duet with a female, and it doesn’t disappoint.  It tells a story about the Georgia native’s journey with his wife Amber and all the ups and downs they went through before ending up together. While it may be a song about Gilbert, it’s relatable to anyone who has had a rocky road in their relationship.

Continuing with the emotional vibe, the title track “Fire & Brimstone” shows off Gilbert’s vocals and writing skills as he wrote the song by himself.  Featuring Jamey Johnson and Alison Krauss, the acoustic track gets personal about Gilbert’s relationship with God and how he feels like he is perceived in the world.  The way the three voices overlap in the bridge really adds to the emotion.

Gilbert holds nothing back on this album, especially how he feels about his wife. “Man of Steel” shares how he wants to be there for his wife, no matter what life throws at them. Written by Gilbert, Brock Berryhill, and Cole Taylor, the track shows how strong the couple’s marriage is and the love he has for her. Superman may be a fictional character, but Gilbert does what he can to be a real-life hero. “Never Gonna Be Alone” piggybacks off that, with a faster tempo, he lets Amber know that she is never going to be alone.

The heartfelt “Man That Hung the Moon” ends the album. Inspired by Gilbert’s son and newborn daughter, the singer-songwriter goes into how life has changed becoming a father and hopes that one day his kids will accept him for the mistakes he made and who he turned out to be. Written solely by Gilbert, it puts the icing on the cake to a great album.

We’ve waited three years for this album and it most certainly did not disappoint. Seeing this side of Gilbert is something we can get used to. The singer-songwriter is celebrating Fire and Brimstone by hitting the road. First up is his second annual Kick It In The Sun Cruise where the singer-songwriter will be joined by Chase Rice, LANCO, Diamond Rio, Tyler Farr, Danielle Bradbury, Jon Langston, Colt Ford, Tyler Rich, SixForty1, Trea Landon, Sam Grow, Tyler Braden, Brian Davis, Tyler Booth, and more.

In January, Gilbert will be headed out on the Fire’t Up Tour with Rice, Dylan Scott, and Brandon Lay. They’ll kick things off in London, Ontario. Check out brantleygilbert.com to see if they’ll be stopping in your city!

Anonymous Group out of Nashville Release “beYoutiful”

Neon PPL

A group of anonymous talented creators from Nashville, Tennessee recently released a touching song called “beYoutiful.” The group calls themselves ‘neonPPL,’ and consists of songwriters, producers, and musicians that have yet to share their individual identities.   A female singer from neonPPL collaborated with rising county artists, Lindsay Ell, Danielle Bradbery, and Joy Williams on the empowering track.

From the first verse, the heartfelt song lyrically paints the important message of staying true to who you are and not allowing outside pressures to influence your self-esteem or self-worth. The empowering message of self-love comes across effortlessly as the members of neonPPL, Bradbery, Ell, and Wiliams blend their voices effortlessly. “You don’t have to be a hero / Back in your hometown / You ain’t gotta be a shooting star / When the sun goes down / Or an angel, or an outlaw, or the next John Wayne / Don’t gotta be the right size in the bright lights with the right last name / BeYOUtiful / Be YOUtiful / You’re the only one who can be you, so do you the best you can.””

 The song is available across all streaming platforms. Take a listen below.

Although not much is known yet about neonPPL, the collective group has been said to be comprised of talented musicians, songwriters, producers, and others, stemming from Nashville’s country music scene. Fans can expect neonPPl to continue collaborating with other artists, as they continue to release more songs.

The groups’ goal is to be a light and spread positive messages to music lovers like they have in “beYOUtiful,” a self-love anthem. One of the founders of neonPPL shared with Billboard about the uniqueness of the group in a recent interview, “We are already an established group of individuals and could have easily used that to our advantage. Instead, we wanted the singular voice of awesomeness to be heard. That doesn’t mean that we are awesome, but that positive message is. Sometimes it’s easy to overlook that in a competitive environment to get the ‘next big hit.’”

We look forward to seeing what neonPPl does next. Keep up with the group via Twitter.
