Kelsea Ballerini's Releases Fantastic New Song Off Upcoming Album
In #

Kelsea Ballerini “Sorry Mom”

I’m going to be honest. I wasn’t really feeling Kelsea Ballerini when she first came out with her debut single “Love You Like You Mean It” in 2015.  Of course, that was when Bro/Pop Country was at it peak.  With songs like “Love Me Like You Mean It” and “Hey, Boy”, I was underwhelmed. But Kelsea has really grown so much as an artist and songwriter, and her latest release “Sorry Mom” shows how far she has come:


As someone who has a really close relationship with her mother, and who has done some dumb things that I know she didn’t approve of, this song is something I can truly relate to. And I know so many other women (and I’m sure men, too) will relate. After this and her collab with Noah Kahn “Cowboys Cry Too”, I’m really excited to see what she has in store for us on her upcoming album “Patterns” out October 25th.

Conway Fiddy “In Da Club”

You know what makes everything better?

Conway Fiddy.

For those who don’t get the joke, I’m sorry.

Just google it, because I’m too lazy this morning to explain it.

Anyhow, one of my favorite content creators “There I Ruined It” has released this glorious gem:

Sure to be  a classic.

I mean, let’s be real, Conway Twitty would have been all OVER this if he were still here. He does have some real panty droppers in his catalog, so I feel that he would approve.

Post Malone’s First-Ever Release!

Post Malone is inarguably one of the biggest stars in the world right now, and he’s about to take over Country music even more when his album “F-1 Trillion” drops on August 16th.

He’s already dominated Hip Hop, Pop and  Adult Contemporary… but what was his actual first release?

Ummm… this:


No, I’m not even kidding.

To be fair, it was for a high school art class project, and I’m sure he was just being funny. And he got an “A”, so there’s that.

Also, Post Malone was Leon Dechino at the time… but clearly, the alter ego didn’t stick.

I really can’t imagine why.

Hey, we all have to start somewhere right?

 

Ether way, Post Malone is continuing to dominate, and sorry haters, it doesn’t look like that’s going to stop anytime soon.

Oh, and in case you missed it, Post Malone’s tracklist for “F 1 Trillion” was accidentally leaked by Target, and it’s prety damn stellar… we’re talking Dolly Parton, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson, Hank Williams Jr., Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley and more.

Sadly, “Why Don’t You Love Me” won’t be making a comeback on the album.

Maybe next time.

Are These The Best Song of the 90’s?

It happens every few years.

Some major publication comes up with a list of the “Best Songs of (Insert) Decade”, and people aregue over it.

The latest to partake is “Equire”, with their list of “The Best Songs of the 90’s”.

Not really sure what they’re basing it on… opinion, I guess?

Anyhow, here’s the Top 10 “Best Songs of the 90’s” according to “Esquire”:

 

1.  “Smells Like Teen Spirit”,  Nirvana

 

2.  “Fantasy (Remix)”,  Mariah Carey

 

3.  “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang”,  Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg

 

4.  “[Eff] and Run”,  Liz Phair

 

5.  “Around the World”,  Daft Punk

 

6.  “Cannonball”,  The Breeders

 

7.  “Supa Dupa Fly”,  Missy Elliott

 

8.  “Rebel Girl”,  Bikini Kill

 

9.  “Sabotage”,  Beastie Boys

 

10.  “Only Shallow”,  My Bloody Valentine

 

Check out the rest here:https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/g61592643/best-90s-songs/?source=nl&date=072324&GID=f5a98775fb7c088678716c2ff6f4e07cf83465403aba12c8dee16ba2ca6ed1f8&utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark

Now, obviously, “Smells Like Team Spirit” is #1, because it literally defined a generation.

But the rest of the Top 10? “Wonderwall” is great, but the others don’t hit me as Top 10 material. I’d definitely have “You Oughta Know” by Alanis Morissette in the Top 10 for sure, as well as “Just a Girl” by No Doubt and “Killing Me Softly” by The Fugees.

Then again, those songs defined the 90’s for me.

That’s what’s so great about music- it’s personal, and everyone experiences it differently.

 

What do YOU think the “Best” Song of the 90’s is?

Taylor Swift Releases Acoustic Version of “Fortnight”

Taylor Swift is unstoppable.

Her latest album “The Tourtured Poets Department” is spending it’s 11th week at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with millions of copies of sold so far. Some people are complaining that she keeps releasing different versions of her album to keep the top spot, but so what? People are buying it. That just makes Taylor one hell of a business woman, which we already knew that.

Taylor also just released an acoustic version of her latest single “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone, and it’s just as hauntingly pretty as the original:


Damn, that song is such a mood.

Woman is unstoppable, and sorry haters, you’re gonna see a hell of a lot of her at the Chiefs games this Fall, as she and the NFL have made the schedules so that she could attend as many Chiefs games as possible to cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce.

Never underestimate the power of Taylor Swift!

The “Baby” Song

One of my favorite online creators is “There I Ruined It” on YouTube.

It’s mainly mashups, and proper use of AI – you know, like making Hank Williams sing Beyonce, or Johnny Cash covering “Barbie Girl”.

The latest masterpiece is the “Baby” song, which is basically a mash-up of singers singing “Baby” in the lyrics.

Pretty simple, but for some reason, oddly entertaining.

This is where I’m at in life:


Yes, my maturity level is top notch.

Ashley McBryde and Gretchen Wilson Perform “Redneck Woman” at CMA Fest 2024

CMA Fest was held in Nashville earlier this month in Nashville.

Have you been before?

It’s one of the biggest parties in Nashville, to be sure, and is chock full of fantastic performances.

So much so, that ABC has a CMA Fest Special every Summer, and I think this year’s was one of the best.

First off, the hosts, Jelly Roll and Ashley McBryde, did a GREAT job. Usually the hosts can be awkward and stilted, but they both did a great job and kept the show going. And one of the performances that I was looking forward to was Ashley McBryde with Gretchen Wilson. I feel like Ashley could be Gretchen’s younger sister, right?

Of course, they performed Gretchen’s massive hit “Redneck Woman”, and it was awesome:


That needed to happen, right?

Also, there were a LOT of really good performances featured last night, and the “CMA Fest 2024” is now streaming on HULU.

Give it a wtch when you get the chance!

Conway Fitty!

“There, I Ruined It”- one of my favorite content creators- has done it again!

This time he combined the legendary Conway Twitty with Rapper Fifty Cent for an Old-School Country version of “In Da Club”.

Yes, this is entirely necessary:

You’re welcome for this.

Yung Gravy Feat. Shania Twain “White Claw”

Country Music is ALL about collabs these days. And, for the most part, I’m no mad at it.

I love hearing what different artists sound like together, and what they can bring out in each other.

But every now and again, a collab happens that really shouldn’t.

Enter Yung Gravy and Shania Twain.

Yung Gravy is a rapper, who like many, wants to cross over to Country because it’s the thing to do these days, and Shania is just a legend.

Which is why I’m curious as to why she agreed to be on a song with Yung Gravy called “White Claw”:

What. Was. That.

First off, White Claw is gross.

I’m a pretty basic bitch, but even I can’t do White Claw.

This makes no sense.

I love you Shania, but this is a no from me.

Maybe if the song was about Coors Banquet or Yellowtail Merlot or Makers Mark…

But White Claw?

No.

Nononono.

We all have our things I guess?

Also, I still can’t get over that Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey from “Full House”) inspired “You Oughta Know”.

Who knew Uncle Joey could inspire such emotional rage?
