Zach Top “Good Times and Tan Lines”

Alan Jackson, that you?

Zach Top- one of the most promising up-and coming Country artists that actually sounds like (gasp!) Country- just dropped the official Summer Country banger.

It’s called “Good Times and Tan Lines” and it’s almost a carbon copy of Alan Jackson’s 90’s Summer Smash “Chattahoochie” and that’s not a bad thing.

Enjoy:

Such a fun song, and again, total Alan Jackson vibes, and that’s ok.

Country music needs more of this.

Zach Top’s new album “Ain’t In it For My Health” drops August 29th.

Oh, and last year, I had the chance to interview Zach right before he blew up, and he’s an absolute doll.

I am so happy for all of his success… well deserved!

Miley Cyrus “Easy Lover”

Miley Cyrus is unstoppable.

Her new album “Something Beautiful” dropped this morning, and so far, what I’ve heard is pretty damn fantastic.

Her new single is a freaking jam- check out “Easy Lover” below:


Honestly, I was hoping it would be a cover of Phil Collins and Phillip Bailey’s “Easy Lover”, but alas, it’s not.

 

Remember this gem?

 

Anyhow, Miley’s “Easy Lover” is almost just as catchy, and I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album today.
Again, I’ll admit that I barely tolerated Miley for the better part of a decade, but she has completely proven herself as one hell of a pop artist and vocalist.

Oh, and her album has a movie to go with it, and will be in theaters one night only on June 12th.

Here’s the trailer:

I low key want to see this…

Miley is KILLING it!

Lainey Wilson “Somewhere Over Laredo”

Lainey Wilson just released a new song, and it’s probably one of my favorites of hers so far…

It’s called “Somewhere Over Laredo”, and it’s inspired by the “Wizard of Oz” classic “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, yet it takes on a whole new life of it’s own.

Enjoy:

So, it looks like this song will be off of Lainey’s deluxe version of her latest album “Whirlwind”, which comes out August 22nd.

I love it, and I have a feeling that Lainey is just getting started.

She may end up being one of the “Mount Rushmore” Country artists of the future.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all.

Kelly Clarkson “Where Have You Been” Kellyoke

Last month, Kelly Clarkson released a stunning new song called “Where Have You Been”, which I feel like it’s one of the best new releases of 2025 so far, and naturally, she had to perform it on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” for her popular “Kellyoke” segment, and of course, it’s gorgeous:


Kelly’s voice knows no bounds.

Hopefully we’ll get more new music from her in 2025… I really feel like this is one of her best songs of her career so far.

 

Morgan Wallen Feat. ERNEST “The Dealer”

Unless you’ve been under a rock or something, you’re probably aware that Morgan Wallen’s new album “I’m the Problem” dropped today.

It’s huge, too. 37 songs… lots of collabs, of course, but I have to say my favorite so far?

One of the few actually Country songs on the album.

It’s Morgan and his friend and frequent collaborator ERNEST with “The Dealer”:


I like that a lot… kind of a new spin on Kenny Roger’s classic “The Gambler”.

Now, I haven’t had time to listen to the full album yet, as I have a job and a life and stuff… and 37 songs is a bit excessive in my opinion. But so far, it’s a lot of pop-leaning Country (no surprise there) and a really terrible song called “Miami” which is inspired by the late, great Keith Whitley’s “Miami, My Amy” that noone asked for.

Still, the album does have some big hits and solid songs on it, and with 37 songs, it’s hard for them all to be bangers.

And, let’s be real, it’ll be the biggest selling album of the year.

So, clearly, Morgan and his people know what they’re doing.

Morgan Wallen “Superman”

Morgan Wallen is gearing up to release his new album “I’m the Problem”, which comes out one week from today (May 16th). He’s been dropping tracks off of it for months, and the latest offering off of the upcoming 37 song project is his first song that addresses his son Indigo, and it’s one I think may dads (and moms) can relate to.

Check out “Superman”:


Damn. That’s a good one. Much better than songs like his biggest hit “Last Night”.

I love that he keeps it real and admits his mistakes, which, let’s be real, we all make them. His mistakes are just magnified as he’s one of the biggest names in music. He’s human, and at least he seems to be trying to stay on right track this time.

Again, Morgan Wallen’s new album “I’m the Problem” drops May 16th, and you know it’s going to be the biggest album of the year, like it or not.

Morgan is also hitting the road with an all-star lineup this year, and you can get the dates and info here:Ā http://morganwallen.com

 

Kelly Clarkson “Where Have You Been”

Kelly Clarkson just made Friday that much better by giving us a beautiful new song called “Where Have You Been”

Unlike a lot of her music as of late, this song is actually positive and uplifting, and was actually inspired by a scene in the tv show “Only Murders in the Building” where Martin Short’s character said “Where have you been?” in wonderment to Meryl Streep’s character.

Kelly thought it was the sweetest thing, so she wrote a song inspired by the scene:

Isn’t that pretty? I think this is definitely one of my favorite songs that Kelly has released in a long time.

It’s also off of her new label “High Road Records” and I’m guessing we’ll get a new full-length album soon.

 

Stay tuned!

Shaboozey and Jelly Roll “Amen”

Happy Friday!

Of course, Friday is when all the new music for the week drops, and I was pleasantly surprised by the Shaboozey/Jelly Roll collab called “Amen”.

It’s off of Shaboozey’s “Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going: The Complete Edition” which came out this morning.

It’s a pretty good tune. Catchy, easy to listen to, and has some pretty solid, profound lyrics:

We could all use a little mercy, right?

Honestly, I like it.

It’s like I could pray to it and two-step to it at the same time.

Multitasking, ya’ll.

Miley Cyrus “End of the World” Live From Chateau Marmont

Miley Cryus is turning into one hell of an artist.

She annoyed me during her Hannah Montana days, then her twerking days, but these last several years, she is proving that she definitely has the damn goods.

Her new single “End of the World” is pop perfection, and she delivered a live version of it today from the famed Chateau Marmont:

I absolutely adore her smoky, alto voice, and the emotion that she can deliver to a song.

If you haven’t heard the studio version, it’s pretty awesome:


“End of the World” is off of her new album “Something Beautiful” which comes out May 30th.

I can’t wait to hear what she has for us next!

Miley Cyrus “Something Beautiful”

 

This is NOT an April Fool’s Joke:

Miley Cyrus just dropped the title track off of her upcoming album “Something Beautiful” today, and hot damn, it’s really, really good.

It’s very sultry, unique, and totally Miley:


Soulful and rockin’ at the same time.

I love it.

 

Ok, real talk: I wasn’t a Miley fan for a long time, but she has really risen above all the controversy, and has totally proven herself as a true artist and vocalist, and is now one of my favorites.

Also, how awesome does she look these days?

This song is getting me pretty jazzed for her new album “Something Beautiful”, which comes out May 16th.
