“Phantom of the Opera” and “Eye of the Tiger” Mash-Up.

This made my damn day.

Creator CLMC Music released a mash-up of two of my favorite things: “Phantom of the Opera” and 80’s Hair Metal.

Behold the glory below:

Also, huge shout out to CLMC music for using actual talent and creativity – no AI- to make this.

More of this in 26, please!

In the meantime, I’ll be playing this in rotation these next few months.

No shame in my game!

Carly Pearce and Riley Green “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay”

Is it hot in here, or is it just this damn music video?

Country hotties Carly Pearce and Riley Green have teamed up for a sexy new song called, “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay”.

The song is, in my opinion, just ok.

But the video?

Get ready for some thirst trap action:

Well, ok then…

Between this and Kacey Musgrave’s “Dry Spell” that came out this past week, Country Music is getting all kinds of sexy over here.

And before you go thinking that Carly and Riley are hooking up, they’re not. At least that I know of. Carly is very openly showing off her new boyfriend on instagram.

Although, when I saw her last April, she did say that Riley Green is the “most beautiful man”.

She’s not wrong.

 

Lainey Wilson “Can’t Sit Still”

You know I love me some Lainey Wilson, and she just dropped a super fun new song called “Can’t Sit Still”, and I think it might just be my theme song.

Check out “Can’t Sit Still” below:


I smell another #1 for Lainey with this one.

With a new song, that means an album announcement could be coming soon- I hope!

In the meantime, stay in the know with all things Lainey at http://LaineyWilson.com

I’m loving how women in Country music are absolutely KILLING it right now!

Let’s keep the momentum going.

Kacey Musgraves “Dry Spell”

Kacey Musgraves is back, and I am HERE for it!

The Grammy-award winning Country artist has been teasing new music this past week, and just dropped her saucy new song “Dry Spell” and a hilariously innuendo-filled video.

Enjoy:

LOVE IT!
And being an Army wife in the middle of a deployment, yeah, I relate.

I really love this version of Kacey- the funny, offbeat, and controversial Kacey rather than the Acid-tripping, introspective Kacey.

I mean, all versions of her are great, but this is where I love her best. I’m also digging the more natural look.  She got the lip fillers out, and is showing off her ridiculous natural beauty.

Only she can make a camo hoodie, basketball shorts, socks and sandals look hot AF.

And, of course, with this new song comes a new album with collabs with Miranda Lambert, Willie Nelson and Billy Strings.

So, basically, it’s going to be Epic.

Kacey’s new album “Middle of Nowhere” comes out May 1st, and I, for one, cannot wait.

 

P!nk “Time After Time”

This is soooo good.

Pop star P!nk filled in for Kelly Clarkson as the host of “The Kelly Clarkson Show” this past week, and like Kelly always does, she covers different songs in each episode. Instead of “Kellyoke” she called it “Cameo-oke” and did one heck of a version of Cyndi Lauper’s 80’s ballad “Time After Time”.

She pretty much nailed it:


I’ve always loved that song, and P!nk did her own thing on it, and made it her own.

Her voice is just next level.

Andddd… the rumor is that P!nk very well could be replacing Kelly when she leaves the show after it’s current 7th season. Hence, why she’s filling in- kind of a trial run with NBC.

If that’s the case, I think she’d be a great fit.

Stay tuned!

Ella Langley Honors Ronnie Milsap!

Ok, ya’ll know I’m on my Ella Langley kick, and rightfully so.

Woman is KILLLLING it right now.

Last night, Ella Langley was a part of the Grand Ole Opry’s 50th Years With Ronnie Milsap celebration, and she took to the stage to perform a few of his many hits, including one of my favorites, “I Wouldn’t Have Missed it for the World’.

Of course, it was magic.

Enjoy:

A post shared by Ella Langley (@ellalangleymusic)

I am SO glad Ella is getting her well-deserved moment in music, and hopefully she’ll be around a long time.

I remember years ago, some Country Music programmer made headlines saying that women were just “tomatoes” in the Country Music Salad.

My then programmer in Manhattan, KS agreed. Oddly enough, he’s not in radio anymore.

Funny that.

Women aren’t the tomatoes. They’re the damn steak AND the ranch, and I’m glad artists like Ella Langley, Lainey Wilson, Megan Moroney and many others are proving it.

 

Megan Moroney and Ed Sheeran “I Only Miss You”

Megan Moroney released her highly anticipated 3rd studio album “Cloud 9” yesterday, and it’s pretty dang solid.

For me, it’s the duet that she has with Pop Megastar Ed Sheeran called “I Only Miss You”.

It’s got that old school Country sound that I adore:


You know, I keep hearing rumors about Ed Sheeran going Country… this is a damn good way to start.

Megan’s new album “Cloud 9” is out now, and she’s hitting the road this Summer to support it on her stadium tour.

Also, I love seeing all these amazing women killing it in Country music.

Keep it up, girls!

Alysa Liu Olympic Gold Medal Performance!

Now THIS is how you do it.

Alysa Liu completely EARNED the Olympic Gold Medal in Milan in Women’s Figure Skating. She had retired at 16 after finishing 6th in Beijing. She was burned out, and for two years did whatever she wanted. She came back two years ago with a fresh attitude and outlook and wanted to skate to show her art, not to win medals.

Well, she did both last night.

I literally cried watching her.

Her joy was as apparent as her skill on the ice. THIS is how you do life.

She’s like Taylor Swift on blades with a frenulum piercing.

We can all learn something from Alysa Liu.

Jelly Roll “Thorns”

Jelly Roll continues his roll with a love song that he released over Valentine’s Day weekend called “Thorns”, and it’s pretty dang good.

Usually Jelly Roll’s Country songs have been about redemption, getting through the bad times, that kind of stuff… so it’s cool to hear an actual love song from him.

Check it out below:

Obviously, that’s about his wife Bunnie XO.

I like it. I like hearing a different side of Jelly Roll.

Does the new song signify a new album on the way? Not sure. Probably… it’s about time, so stay tuned.

In the meantime, you have Jelly Roll on the road with Post Malone on the “Big Ass Stadium Tour” this Summer.

That’s a whole lotta ink for one stage.

Ella Langley “Be Her”

Ella Langley is on one hell of a hot streak!

She just dropped her new song off her upcoming album “Dandelion” called “Be Her”, and it’s super-catchy and relatable.

Haven’t all of us women been there, though?

Just feeling like you don’t have your stuff together, and there’s always that one person who seems like they do.

Now that I’m in my 40’s, I know that the ones who seem like they have it all figured out usually don’t. They just fake it really well.

I seriously cannot wait for the full album, and after hearing “Be Her” and “Dandelion” off of it, you know it’s going to be amazing.

“Dandelion” comes out April 10th, and you can get more info, tour dates, etc. at http://ellalangley.com
