Chase Bryant has released his newest single, “Room To Breathe.” It’s an uptempo love song where he admits he’s not afraid to be close to his partner, let’s hope she loves someone who dotes on her! I don’t need no room to breathe / Baby you can never be too close to me. The song was co-written by Bryant, Ashley Gorley, and Derek George.
This is the first song off Bryant’s upcoming full length album and the first time he has released new music since his EP in 2014. After two top 5 hits “Take It On Back” and “Little Bit Of You,” “Room To Breathe” is sure to be another smash hit with its slick rhythms and quick wording. “Room To Breathe” is available on iTunes and most streaming services.
The lyrics video is out now and features Bryant. His voice is every bit as sexy as he appears in this video. What’s not to love than a song where a man isn’t afraid to be all in, especially when his voice is Chase Bryant. Watch the lyric video below!
We are so excited that Kelleigh Bannen has finally been able to put out an EP titled Cheap Sunglasses! We’ve been following her career closely for the past several years and she’s released four different singles over that time: “Sorry On The Rocks,” “Famous,” “You Are What You Love” and “Smoke When I Drink.”
It’s been a long wait to have something in the form of an EP/Album and with her courage and bravery of signing off on her current deal, she is finally able to put out new music!
The best part of Bannen’s EP is that there are 5 brand new songs that have never been released before. “Welcome To The Party” is a personal favorite and includes our now adopted mantra Welcome to the freak show / it’s come as you are. It’s definitely a song you can put on repeat and sing while drinking a bottle or wine (or Dr. Pepper,) driving in the car, getting ready for the day and pretty much any other scenario you can think of.
“Landlocked” is a great song for everyone because it doesn’t appeal to one gender over another. It’s the perfect summer song, especially if you live in an area that isn’t close to a big body of water and it’s hot outside! The sky looks kind of like the sea / and a big box fan feels kind of like an ocean breeze. Making the best of circumstances is something Bannen knows all too well, but don’t worry because up next is the title song!
“Cheap Sunglasses” is one of those songs where you think it’s about one thing (i.e. a relationship) but it’s actually about something entirely different. The beauty of the song is that even though it’s about something specific to Bannen (drawing a line in the sand), it can be applied to so many different scenarios which makes it relatable. You won’t miss ’em much / only costs a couple bucks / I don’t want to be your cheap sunglasses/ … So easy to break / Just throw away / Well, I’m not made of plastic / I don’t want to be your cheap sunglasses.
So this week I’m going all in, again. I leave one chapter of my music behind, so that I can start a new chapter. It’s sad to say goodbye to the old chapter. I liked it. It was safe (safe-ish, I guess) but I wasn’t growing the way that I longed too, and I wasn’t able to put music out for myself, or share my music with my fans. So I’m going all in. And I’m starting with this small body of work—“Cheap Sunglasses.” And the title track is about making a change. Drawing a line in the sand. Standing up for yourself, and moving on.
“Once Upon A” slows things down a bit but showcases Bannen’s vocal ability as she shares the story of a relationship unfolding. When we think of the phrase “Once Upon A” it usually continues with the word “time” and tells the story of something that has already taken place and concluded. Bannen takes is another step to say she wants to start that story aka a “Once Upon A.” Hey, you’re moving fast but you’re forgiven / Stay, every memory has a beginning / This is us, this is now / Starts tonight, don’t know how / Just know I wanna / Start a little once upon a
The EP concludes with “All Good Things” which is a great way to finish the EP before putting it back on repeat! It’s definitely a feel good song that allows the listener to just sort of appreciate life and who they have in it. All good things are wild and free / You’re the fire in my veins / I’m a runaway train / And together we’re crazy/ All good things are wild and free / No it don’t cost nothing / But your kiss is so money / So baby lay it on me.

LOCASH is back with their second full length studio album, The Fighters. This is the first full length album release since the duo, made up of Preston Brust and Chris Lucas changed their name from LOCASH Cowboys to simply LOCASH. The duo released a 6 song EP I Love This Life in 2015 and all six songs are included on The Fighters.
The lead single “I Love This Life” was a top 5 hit for the band in early 2016 and reached number 2 on the US Country Airplay charts. The duo just released the music video for their second single, “I Know Somebody” on CMT.
The video for “I Know Somebody” is set in the year 1998, in a small-town roller rink. It follows the story of an underdog type fellow who finally gets the nerve to get the girl of his dreams. The song is about to crack the top 30 in Country Radio and is sure to be another hit for LOCASH!
The Fighters is a mix of smooth ballads and up tempo songs that will fit in well at country radio, no matter which song is released. The album has something for everyone, whether it be ballads like “Shipwercked” “Moonwalkin” “God Loves Me More” and “Till The Wheels Fall Off” (which are about the feelings one gets when they find the person they are supposed to be with).
There are also some drinking songs (cause what would a country album be without a little alcohol?). “Drunk Drunk” and “All Day” will for sure be summer/party anthems.
The final song on the album is the title track, “The Fighters” and it’s what country music is all about; saluting hard working people in all walks of life who are fighting for everything they have. It ends the album with a positive note that allows the listener to feel grateful and feel appreciated.
Overall The Fighters hits all the right notes, and doesn’t favor one style of song over another. It has party anthems, ballads, thought provoking songs and a few just overall feel good songs as well. LOCASH accomplishes all of this by keeping a sound that is unique to them.
GRAMMY nominated artist, Brandy Clark is back to deliver one of the most honest albums in years with Big Day In A Small Town. Clark is known for her songwriting with hits like Miranda Lambert‘s “Mama’s Broken Heat” and Kacey Muscgraves‘ “Follow Your Arrow” and The Band Perry‘s “Better Dig Two.” With such success as a writer, she is continuing her quest to bring her songs to life.
It creates a perfect picture of all the drama and life lessons you receive while living in a small town. One thing that sets Clark’s album apart from other artists’ is her unique writing style and her storytelling. Country Music used to be known for it’s storytelling, but lately anything goes.
Clark has the ability to make the listener feel like they’re sitting at the local gossip spot listening to the going ons in a small town. This album is filled with a mix of sassy and gutsy songs like “Soap Opera,” “Girl Next Door,” “Daughter” and “Big Day In A Small Town.”
There are also songs about what life is really like as a grown up with “Homecoming Queen,” “Three Kids No Husband” and “Broke”. Big Day In A Small Town is not without ballads;“You Can Come Over” and “Since You’ve Gone To Heaven.” “Since You’ve Gone to Heaven” is a beautifully written and relateable song for anyone who has ever lost someone.
Clark’s songs are reminiscant of what Country Music has always been at it’s core – deeply personal, honest and brave. In a world of pop country and rapping country boys, Clark is a breath of fresh air. She has the ability to transport you to another place and you can tell she’s been there. She’s lived through the heartache of being broke, losing a loved one and just simply not knowing her place. It’s safe to say with this album Clark has found her place!
Clark’s talent for songwriting really shines on this album, and she shows that she’s not afraid to let the world know what she’s feeling and thinking. Clark understands how to touch the heart of the listener which is something that takes most artists year to understand. Overall Big Day In A Small Town is a must listen to album and Clark will continue to be one to watch in the coming years.
Dan + Shay‘s newest album Obsessed builds on the sound they became known for when they burst onto the scene in 2014. Obsessed doesn’t abandon the sound that helped the duo shoot up the charts with “19 Me & You”and has some songs that reflect a similar lyrical and tone structure as their debut album. Obsessed also shows Dan + Shay’s maturity as individuals, songwriters and as a duo.
While the beats and rythms have a familiar sound, the lyrics create vivid pictures and lasting impressions. With Obsessed, Dan + Shay take a more daring risk with ballads “From The Ground Up” and “Lipstick.”
“Lipstick” tells a story that most woman have experienced, a girl getting her nerve up for yet another date and going through the motions hoping she can get past the hurt of past relationships and hoping she won’t get hurt again. It’s not traditionally the type of song you would expect from a male duo but it’s refreshing that they are not afraid to try something different.
Overall the album does what all good sophomore albums should do, build on the foundation that was set by the first record and takes it to the next level. Obsessed is melody-filled storybook, highlighting all aspects of life and showing that Dan + Shay have continued to evolve as Country Artists.
