New Music Friday: This Week’s Country Standouts
Friday is already the best day of the week, but when new music drops, it’s even better! A handful of fresh releases landed today, and there’s plenty worth adding to your rotation! From powerhouse collaborations to solo standouts and a few artists you should absolutely have on your radar, here’s what stood out this New Music Friday…
Singles You Need to Hear:
“McArthur” – Morgan Wallen, Eric Church, Tim McGraw & HARDY
This one’s stacked, and it delivers! The songwriting and story telling is incredible, wow. Exactly what you’d expect when four of country music’s biggest artists come together.
“Dandelion” – Ella Langley
Ella doesn’t miss, and this song just makes the wait for her album even harder!
“Bar and Back” – Josh Ross
Relatable in the most ‘dating in this generation’ way lol. We’ve all been that call.
“The Dirt” – Jenna Paulette feat. John Morgan
Jenna Paulette remains criminally underrated. If you love a more traditional female country voice with real grit and heart, she’s absolutely your girl!
“Lorelei” – ERNEST
This track feels like windows down, sun setting, coastal drive energy.
“Dry County” – Tyler Braden
A solid addition from Braden that leans into emotion and storytelling.
“Geronimo” – Ian Munsick
Ian continues to carve out his own lane, blending modern sounds with Western roots in a way that just works.
New Projects:
Horseback (Deluxe) – Jenna Paulette
More proof that Jenna deserves more love! The deluxe version adds depth to an already strong project!
Live from the 717 – Warren Zeiders
Raw, gritty, and loud in the best way. This live release captures the energy that makes Zeiders such a force onstage.
