The “Kelly Clarkson Show” is back for it’s 6th Season on NBC, which means… MORE KELLYOKE!!!
I live for Kellyoke. Seriously, there is NOTHING this woman can’t sing.
Case in point:
Ok, that is one ridiculously hard song to sing.
Celine Dion is one of the most talented vocalists out there, and Kelly Clarkson just proved that she is right up there with her. I love the extra “oomph” that her voice adds to the song.
Also, how awesome does she look?
Go. Girl.
Stay tuned for more gems with Kellyoke on the “Kelly Clarkson Show”- weekdays on NBC.
Back in 2019, Brooks and Dunn released their “Reboot” album, where they re-imagined some of their greatest hits with some of Country’s biggest stars. Well, they have another similar project in the works called “Reboot 2”, featuring everyone from Lainey Wilson to Morgan Wallen to rock band Halestorm.
You’re excited right?
Because you should be.
And, to get us ready, Brooks and Dunn and Lainey Wilson just dropped their version of “Play Something Country”, and of course, it totally works:
Yep, that checks out, for sure.
Brooks and Dunn’s “Reboot 2” album will be out November 15th, and you can get more info at https://www.brooks-dunn.com/
Country Star Cody Johnson just released a collab with vocal powerhouse Carrie Underwood, and of course, it’s lovely.
The song is called “I’m Gonna Love You”, and it’s just a pure, simple love song:
I have a feeling tha this is going to be a wedding playlist staple…
My family has a wedding venue in West Tennessee called Cogan’s Farm – http://Cogansfarm.com– so check it out!
That’s why I always have weddings on the brain.
Ok, shameless plug aside, is the song anything gorundbreaking?
No. But it doesn’t have to be.
When you have two talents like Cody and Carrie, sometimes keeping it simple and letting the vocals and emotion shine is enough.
In addition, Cody Johnson announced the deluxe version of his latest album “Leather” featuring 13 new songs on November 1st. And in case you weren’t aware, Cody Johnson live is definitely something to see- get tour dates at https://apps.codyjohnsonmusic.com/leather/ and you can catch Carrie Underwood in Vegas with her “Reflections” residency: https://www.carrieunderwoodofficial.com/
The “Kelly Clarkson Show” is back on NBC for the 6th season, and Miranda Lambert was one of the guests this morning, and Kelly and Miranda did an acoustic version of the Chappell Roan smash “Good Luck Babe”, and it totally killed:
Ok, can we get a full-on recorded version of that?
Their voices mesh so well, and it’s just a cool take on that song.
In case you have been on another planet this Summer, here’s the OG:
There’s no official music video for the song, which is annoying. BUT this live version on Jimmy Fallon from this past Summer is almost as good:
Yeah, pretty sure Chappell Roan isn’t going anywhere for a while.
Also, I can’t wait for more great covers from Kelly Clarkson this season!
Shaboozey burst onto the Country Music scene earlier this year with his smash hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” which is STILL #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the biggest song of the year so far. Well, Shaboozey just released his next single to Country Radio, and I’m thinking he’s not gonna be just another one hit wonder. His new release “Highway” is so damn good!
Check it out below:
Here’s the lyrics:
“I see dead ends but we still going strong We been heading down a one-way street But it feel like it’s wrong Moving like a freight train getting tired of chugging along I’ve been tryna say goodbye But I’m gone miss you, girl, the second you gone
Gave me your heart, gave you heartbreak (I let you down) Sorry I’m lost in this dark place (I’ll fight it out) Somehow I’ll make it to Sunday I promise I’ll be coming back
I might die on the highway With all my regrets I’ve been driving for miles and miles and miles I can’t see where it ends I’ve been trying to find ways To tell you how I feel, yeah But I can’t tell you goodbye ‘Cause I know it’ll hurt if I let go of the wheel
Since you stop riding shotgun, I ain’t been myself Going out looking for a good time but I’m going through hell Got Jesus on the hotline saying, “You need help” Put the liquor on the shelf, tell the Devil, “Farewell”
You gave me your heart, gave you heartbreak (I let you down) Sorry I’m lost in this dark place (I’ll fight it out) Somehow I’ll make it to Sunday I promise I’ll be coming back
I might die on the highway With all my regrets I’ve been driving for miles and miles and miles I can’t see where it ends I’ve been trying to find ways To tell you how I feel, yeah But I can’t tell you goodbye ‘Cause I know it’ll hurt if I let go of the wheel
And I don’t want to go down this road by myself No, I don’t want to be the story That others tell
The guy who died on the highway With all his regrets He was driving for miles and miles and miles Couldn’t see where it ends He was tryna find ways To tell her how he feels But when he looked in her eyes He could tell she was hurt so he let go of the wheel.”
Pretty solid, am I right?
I really like his sound- he’s unique, but still staying in the “Country” lane.
I know there are some that are complaining about artsits like Shaboozey, Jelly Roll and Post Malone in Country, but those are the annoying people that basically think Country stopped at Hank Sr.
It hasn’t.
Country Music, like every other genre, has to grow and evolve to reflect the times.
I, for one, love the change and growth. There’s room for all of it.
Diversity is a good thing, people.
Kudos to Shaboozey for adding his flair to he airwaves in 2024.
Gwen Stefani just dropped a new song today called “Somebody Else’s” off her upcoming fifth studio album “Bouquet”, and it’s basically a diss track about her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale.
I mean, she didn’t exactly come out and specify, but come on… it totally is:
Sick burn.
It’s actually pretty catchy and fun, and I love the theme- after all, isn’t the opposite of love not hate, but indifference?
Also, with Gavin Rossdale’s history of infidelity, and now dating Gwen’s younger clone, he may kind of deserve it.
I honestly love her and Blake Shelton together. Hey, opposites attract, and there’s nothing wrong with the Country life. Maybe it’s refreshing for Gwen to live with a real person who would rather drive a tractor and go hunting than one who lives the rockstar lifestyle.
Who knows?
Anyhow, if you want more new Gwen, her album “Bouquet” comes out November 15th.
Although, what I really want is another No Doubt reunion.
