Kacey Musgraves “The Architect”

In case you missed it, Kacey Musgraves released a gorgeous new album celled “Deeper Well” this past Friday, and thankfully is getting back to those Country roots. It was just announced that her song “The Architect” will b the next single released to Country Radio, and all I can say is, they better dang play it.

How beautiful is that?

Pure, simple. deep and just absolutely perfect.  I’m definitely going to push for this one.  Plus, Kacey is just an amazing artist all-around, no matter what genre she identifies as, but I for one, am so glad she’s back where she started.

Chck out her new album when you get the chance, and get info, mrch, tour dates, all the things at http://kaceymusgraves.com

 

Justin Timberlake Feat. *NSYNC “Paradise”

Happy FriYAY!

Justin Timberlake just dropped his highly anticipated new album “Everything I Thought I Was”, and as promised, there is an *NSYNC song on there, and it’s absolutely beautiful.

It’s called “Paradise” and I smell a hit on this one:


My only beef is that it’s listed as Justin Timberlake featuring *NSYNC.  No, dude, it’s freaking *NSYNC.

Come on now.

Why ya gotta be like that?

Other than that, it’s perfect. It reminds me of my husband and I, who have been together for eighteen years- married for seventeen- and it’s where we’re at: A beautifuk, chaotic paradise.

Oh, and in case you missed it, here’s the surprise live performance from the group in LA earlier this week:

Can we PLEASE just get a full on reunion next? I’m talking album, tour, all the things.

Let’s make it happen, ok?

Bon Jovi “Legendary”

As a child of the 80’s and 90’s, naturally I’m a Bon Jovi fan. I mean, how can you NOT be? One of the greatest American Rock bands, and like many of them, they are still going strong.

This morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see not only a new song from the legendary band, but also an album announcement!

The new single “Legendary”, written by Jon Bon Jovi, Billy Falcon, and John Shanks, is basically a reflection of where Jon is in his life at 62.

He recently underwent surgery on his vocal chords, and during the break, he said he had time to re-evaluate his life, and recognize the things that really matter. And the song is a tribute to his wife Dorthea, who has been by his side since the beginning, hence the “Brown Eyed Girl” reference.

I love it! Just an overall happy song, and I am lucky to be able to relate, as I write this with my beautiful two-year old son stealing my phone and throwing it on the kithcen floor after sneezing on it, and my Husky snuggling my feet.

It’s the little things in life that matter.

We so often forget that.

Bon Jovi’s 16th studio album- and their first in four years- “Forever”- comes out on June 7th.

Luke Combs Teases New Song “The Man He Sees In Me”

Luke Combs is back in the studio working on his next project, and so far, it sounds like it’s going to be another Country Radio staple!

On New Year’s Eve, Luke posted a video of himself in his living room playing an acoustic song called “The Man He Sees in Me”.

Well… he just released what sounds like a recorded snippet of the song on social media, and I think it’s another hit in the making:

New Kids on the Block “Kids”

Ahhhhh!  My childhood heart is so happy!

New Kids on the Block just announced their first new album in 11 years called “Still Kids” AND released the first single off of it called “Kids” and it’s seriously so much fun:


LOOOVVVEEEE!

So much nostalgia here. And as a 41-year old woman who is still, indeed, a kid, I totally relate!

I was obsessed with these guys as a kiddo. I had the bed sheets, the Donny Wahlberg keychain, the shirts… all the cheesy things!

Oh, and let’s not forget this glorious dance that I couldn’t stop doing in the first grade:

Reminds me of the skate nights in elementary school. Man, growing up in the late eighties/early nineties was THE BEST!!!!

“Still Kids” drops May 17th, and I hear a tour will follow?

You know I’ll keep ye posted.
 

Lainey Wilson and Kelly Clarkson “Country’s Cool Again”

Ya’ll know I love me some Lainey Wilson AND I’m all about some Kelly Clarkson “Kellyoke”, so naturally, I was pretty dang stoked to see THIS happen:

ALLLLL the YES right there!

 

Lainey was a guest on the “Kelly Clarkson Show” this week, and it was just as fun as you’d expect.


 

 

Ok, I really want to hang out with these ladies and have a drink or three with them.  They seem like my kind of people!

Also, Lainey is poised for another massive 2024, with her tour and a possibly some new music! Stay tuned…

2024 has been pretty dang great musically so far, don’t you think?

New Morgan Wallen “Lies, Lies, Lies”

Morgan Wallen is easily one of the biggest stars on the radio right now- not just in Country, but in Pop as well. His latest album “One Thing at a Time” was released a year ago, and it was the biggest selling album of 2023, and solidified his superstardom.

So, to celebrate such a momentous occasion, Morgan Wallen released a 7 song project called “Abbey Road Sessions” recorded last Fall at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London as a gift to his fans.

And within that project, he released a fan favorite “Lies, Lies, Lies”-  check it out below!

 

Pretty dang catchy, right? I’m it will end up being another #1 hit because, well, it’s Morgan Wallen. He’s pretty much the Taylor Swift of Country music right now.

 

Here are the other songs on his project:

 

“Sunrise”

 

“Graveyard Whistling”

 

“I Deserve a Drink”

 

“I Wrote the Book”

“Everything I Love”

 

“Thinkin’ Bout Me”

Pretty cool, right?  What an iconic place to record. Also, he sounds great.

Morgan is currently working on his next project, as well as hitting the road BIG TIME this year.

Kacey Musgraves on”Saturday Night Live”

Last night, Kacey Musgraves was the Musical Guest on “Saturday Night Live” ahead the release of her new album “Deeper Well”, and of course, she owned it:

Here’s her performance of the title track “Deeper Well”:

 

And her latest single “Too Good to Be True”:

Kacey is always simplistic perfection with her music and her live performances. There’s something almost hypnotic about her voice, and her overall aura. I’ve never understood why she never got as much airplay as say… Carrie Underwood or Kelsea Ballerini in Country radio. I’ve always advocated for her, and I remember playing the fire out of “Merry Go Round”, “Follow Your Arrow” and “Blowin’ Smoke”, but for some reason they never hit the top of the charts.  Not that it matters… Kacey has proven that she doesn’t need twenty number one hits to be a staple.  I mean, Florida-Georgia Line had a ton of #1 songs, and let’s be real, they’re weren’t a patch on Kacey’s artistry and talent.  Kacey has stood her ground, and has the career longevity (and Grammys!) to prove it.

I’m excited for her next chapter, in which she returns to her Country roots. Her album “Deeper Well” drops March 15th.

She also announced her “Deeper Well” world our, and those dates are up at http://kaceymusgraves.com

And just for a throwback, here’s where a lot of Country fans discovered Kacey’s pure vocals:

Also, Granger Smith and his wife Amber play the couple in the video, and I am getting all the feels from that.

13 years ago. Whattttt?

Miley Cyrus/Pharrell Williams “Doctor (Work it Out)”

Miley Cyrus has teamed back up with Pharrell Williams for a poppin’ new rack called “Doctor (Work it Out) and it’s fun as hell.

The track was originally supposed to be on Miley’s 2013 album “Bangerz”, but was scrapped from the project. Over a decade later, here it is, and I’m sure you’ll be hearing it A LOT in 2024.

Ok, so not the most brilliant lyrics, but I’m pretty sure that’s not the point of this song.

It’s fun, catchy, and has a great beat (because Pharrell) and I’ve been singing it all morning.

That’s a good sign.

Also, Miley giving Barbarella/Tina Turner vibes is my favorite version of her.

Years ago, she merely annoyed me, but she has totally proven herself as an artist, and is now one of my favorites. She’s been through a lot, and has come through slaying.

GO MILEY!
