Russell Dickerson: ‘Southern Symphony’ – Album Review

Russell Dickerson’s highly anticipated sophomore album, Southern Symphony is here! Showcasing his one of a kind talent, his undying love for his family, and plenty of fun, this album has it all. To celebrate the release, Dickerson debuted an incredible album experience like no other. Check it out in the video below as the ten-minute project takes you on a cinematic journey sharing the story of the songs through the album.

The album kicks off with a bang with previously released “Never Get Old”.  Written by Dickerson, Parker Welling, Corey Crowder, and Steven Olsen, this track is upbeat and the perfect sing-along for when live music returns. It also reminds us that no matter how many times you go to your favorite bar or repeatedly have a chill night in with your significant other, those moments never get old.

We know from the singer-songwriter’s double-platinum song “Yours” how much he loves his wife, Kailey, but this album showcases his love and appreciation for her on a whole other level starting with previously released “Home Sweet” and already two-week consecutive number one “Love You Like I Used To”. These two upbeat tracks show us the maturity of their relationship and remind us that through the struggles there’s always a silver lining.

His strong love for his wife is once again showcased throughout the album but stands out in the tracks “Come To Jesus” and “Waiting For You”. With a bit of a slower tempo, “Come to Jesus” shows off Dickerson’s vocal range as he shares his appreciation for having Kailey be his voice of reason and continuing to keep him in check. In “Waiting For You” the Tennessee native shares that he had been waiting his whole life to find the type of love he has with his wife. With the gospel feel and beautiful addition of the saxophone, this song blew us away.

In the title track “Southern Symphony”, Dickerson’s vocals are outstanding and laced with an acoustic guitar playing in the background, he takes us back to his hometown painting a picture of all the sounds he remembers including a magnolia breeze, bug zapper, and fight song sharing the message of when you find your person you feel the sensation of home.

The very first artist that NYCountry Swag ever worked with back in 2016 is known for bringing the energy and what better way to do that than with his good friends, award-winning duo Florida Georgia Line? “It’s ’s About Time” is the perfect party anthem and will have you filling up a drink in no time!

In a recent press release, Dickerson shared what he hopes listeners get out of the album. “When you hear this, I hope you feel the excitement, hope, and happiness in life. I want to be a good steward in these songs. There’s joy all around. I’m trying to spread a little bit of that. It’s exactly what the world needs right now and always.”

It’s been three years since Dickerson’s debut album Yours and the new dad’s evolution as an artist is incredible. We can’t wait to see this album performed live! In the meantime, check out the incredible full album experience in the video here.

Russell Dickerson’s “Love You Like I Used To” Earns Him His 4th Number 1

Russell Dickerson’s “Love You Like I Used To” earns him his fourth consecutive career #1 hit as a recording artist, landing the top spot on the country charts this week.

One of our all-time favorite artists, future entertainer of the year, and our actual “day one”, Russell Dickerson, continues to shatter the glass ceiling in his career. Last year, almost to the day, we announced that Dickerson accomplished a rare feat, as his first three singles to country radio all hit the top spot on the charts. Today, we get to share with fans that the singer-songwriter’s fourth song to country radio, “Love You Like I Used To” is officially a chart-topper!

“Love You Like I Used To” embodies arguably what Dickerson does best. The romantic love song is as honest as it gets and truly makes all listeners feel that one of a kind love that the singer has with his beautiful wife. The song going number one is a testament to Dickerson and his team for knowing exactly who their fanbase and audience are. Both country radio and fans truly support everything the singer does.

This great news comes at an almost perfect time for the singer. His sophomore record, Southern Symphony is slated to be released on December 4th, and we are sure that Dickerson is going to deliver even more music that both fans and country radio alike will fall in love with. Congrats to Russell and the entire RD Team!

Russell Dickerson Drops New Song + Announces New Album ‘Southern Symphony’

Russell Dickerson released a brand new song, “Never Get Old” and revealed his sophomore record, Southern Symphony will be out December 4th. Read all the details below.

Singer-songwriter and NYCountry Swag OG, Russell Dickerson has released a new single “Never Get Old” that comes four months after his latest track “Home Sweet” and just five weeks into fatherhood with wife, Kailey, and son, Remington. “Never Get Old” is the third single to be released from his highly anticipated sophomore record, Southern Symphony. Previously, Dickerson referred to the forthcoming project as “RD2” before surprising fans today with the album title and official release date.

With “Never Get Old”, this new song begins to show a pattern and a potential style in which the collection of music may follow. For instance, in April “Love You Like I Used To” was the first single for this new chapter of music. It introduced a refreshed, artistically matured performer from what we know from the 2018 #1 smash “Yours” and 2019 hit “Every Little Thing”, both featured on Dickerson’s debut album, Yours.

While “Home Sweet” continues with the same energy and elements, the production shines as well. Dickerson, who played a role in production for both releases with Casey Brown and Dan Huff, seems to have found his sound for this new music, and “Never Get Old” is no exception to the substantial upgrade that listeners have been hearing from the artist.

Russell Dickerson Never Get Old

Russell Dickerson’s sophomore record, “Southern Symphony” will be released 12/4.

The hardcore yet sophisticated loudness of the song that confines our speakers demands to be played for a live audience. In fact, for fans who caught Dickerson on Kane Brown’s The Worldwide Beautiful Tour earlier this year, concertgoers may remember Dickerson opening his energetic set with the new, unreleased song. Between the electric guitar primarily taking over and the sound effects of clapping present, RD surely has a banger on his hands.

Lyrically, “Never Get Old” utilizes different scenarios such as going to a dive bar with a good band on a 2-for-1 Saturday night to promote that never gets old feeling. It serves as a reminder that such little moments like a chill night at home with a significant other never gets old. The lyrics stretch to any circumstance whether social distancing is a common phrase or not. It’s both modern and traditional.

One thing remains true about Dickerson, the new record Southern Symphony will be epic. Pre-save the album now and check back on its release date, December 4th for the full album review.

Russell Dickerson Collaborates with Pop Artist Clara Mae in “Alright”

Russell Dickerson and Clara Mae

When they work, collaborations in music can be one of the most exciting things. We love a good country-pop crossover like “Heartless” by Diplo featuring Morgan Wallen and “One Thing Right” by Marshmello and Kane Brown. This time, one of our favorite artists, Russell Dickerson featured his talents on pop songstress Clara Mae’s new single “Alright”.

The Swedish singer-songwriter is known for her clever phrasing and beautiful vocals, but combined with Dickerson’s signature sound and voice, this song truly takes it to another level. The singers trade verses, taking turns telling stories from unique perspectives of a broken relationship. On the chorus, they create a harmonious, yet striking vocal performance, admitting that you can still care about someone you’re no longer with.

“Just because we’re not friends / Doesn’t mean I don’t care / Are you alright, alright? / Don’t know how to just stop / Used to love you too much / Are you alright, alright / ‘Cause I’ve been losing sleep / Wondering if you’re good, so please just / Pick your phone up / Let me know and I’ll stop / Are you alright? / Just say you’re all alright”

Similar to the smash hit by JP Saxe and Julia Michaels, “If the World Was Ending,” Mae and Dickerson manage to convey the complicated concept that feelings do not go away just because a relationship is over.  Of course, the music video was creatively utilized to amplify the poignant message beautifully.

We wonder what country artists will collaborate across genres next!
