Toni Cornell “Sunset of Your Love”

Just… wow.

The late Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and Audioslave, who was also one of the best Rock vocalists EVER, has clearly passed on his incredible talent to his daughter Toni Cornell, who just released a song this week called “Sunset of Your Love”, and it is absolutely gorgeous.


Wowza.

I knew she could sing, as she has proven that before, but I wasn’t sure what to expect from her original music.

I’m impressed.

Really, really impressed.

Just a beautifully written, produced, and well-sung piece, and you can definitely tell that she has inherited her father’s talent.

Also, remember this tribute where she sang “Hallelujah” honoring her Father? This was 7 years ago, when she was like, 13 or 14:


Yeah, I just cried a little. Again.

Will we hear more from Toni Cornell?

I sure as heck hope so.

She hasn’t publicly confirmed any other plans at this moment, but you can keep up with her on instagram @https://www.instagram.com/tonicornell/

So utterly impressed by this poised and talented young woman.

 

Lady Gaga “Disease”

Lady Gaga announced earlier this week that she had more new music coming, and she made good on that promise this morning by dropping the Rock tinged track “Disease”, and, of course, it’s pretty damn good.

I mean, it’s Gaga after all.


I love the rock edge, and I’m feeling Nine Inch Nails “Closer” vibes as well as a tinge of her song “Bloody Mary” in there.

I’m definitely not disappointed, and it’s already taking up rent-free space in my head.

The song is most likely off of Lady Gaga’s upcoming 7th studio album, which we know she has been working on.

This song defnitely bodes well fr the rest of the album. I’m hoping for more Rock Gaga in he future.

You hear that universe? Make it happen.

 

 

Morgan Wallen “Love Somebody” Live at Neyland Stadium!

Morgan Wallen released one hell of a new song last Friday called “Love Somebody”, and I swear, it’s been in my head in heavy rotation this past week.

Well, Morgan just released an official live video of him performing “Love Somebody” at one of his shows at the famed Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, TN. He performed to over 150,000 fans over two days setting an attendance record, and it only made sense to release a live video, right?

Enjoy:


Morgan Wallen always brings it live, and there’s a reason why his recent “One Night at a Time” tour is now the biggest selling Country Music tour of all time.

OF ALL TIME.

Damn, son.

That’s no joke right there.

And…. he’s working on a new album, so stay tuned.

If “Love Somebody” is any indication, it’s gonna be another record-breaker.

Sorry, haters, Morgan is here to stay.

Koe Wetzel “Good Time”

Well, damn, we’re getting all kinds of great new music today!

First, Morgan Wallen with “Love Somebody” and now Koe Wetzel just released a new song called “Good Times”, which apparently is a bonus track after he released his album “9 Lives” this past Summer.

It’s 100% Koe Wetzel. I love it!

Koe Wetzel is a freaking party.

Hey, I was too, in my younger days. Not at the level that he’s at, but still, this song reminds me of living fast and being crazy, knowing that one day I would need to slow my roll and act like a proper human being, which thankfully, I started doing that at around 25.

Hey, I had fun, and thankfully survived, and now I know to never mix red wine and Jager again.

Eventually, the party has to end. Which is a good thing.

Sounds like Koe is starting to realize that just a little…

Morgan Wallen “Love Somebody”

How about new Morgan Wallen to kick off the Friday?

He’s been teasing a song called “Love Somebody” for months now, and it’s finally here, and like almost all of Morgan’s music, it does not disappoint:

Pretty dang good, right?

Morgan Wallen released a statement about the song, which will be off his upcoming 4th studio album:  “Love Somebody’ is a little bit of a new approach lyrically and sonically. I wanted to try something different, with what I wanted to talk about, how I wanted it to sound, and we were inspired by Latin-leaning influences. I’m really excited about this song and pumped that it is out.”
Kudos to Morgan and his songwriting team. They clearly made another hit.

Again, Morgan is working on his 4th studio album… no release date or any other info on it at this time, but trust that it’s going to be another banger.

In the meantime, Morgan is on the road, selling out shows, and you can get more info, dates, etc at https://morganwallen.com/

 

ERNEST “Would If I Could”

One of my favorite newer artists in Country Music is singer/songwriter ERNEST who has had a couple of #1 hits with Morgan Wallen- “Flower Shops” and “Cowgirls”- and both are well-deserving of the top spot.

A few months ago, ERNEST released a stellar song with Lainey Wilson called “Would if I Could”, and in case you missed it, here’s their collab:


Such a great song, with the true 90’s Country vibe that I have always loved. Welll… ERNEST just released  a solo version of “Would if I Could”, and I think it’s even better than the duet:

Damn. That is totally giving Tracy Lawrence. I love it!!!

Which version do you like better?

Also, kudos to Dean Dillon and Skip Ewing II for writing a true Country song.

If you want more info on ERNEST, here ya go: https://ernestofficial.com/

You can also check out his latest album “Nashville, TN” out now.

Can’t wait for more from this guy!

Jamey Johnson “Someday When I’m Old”

Jamey Johnson is back, and it’s a damn beautiful thing.

If you remember, Jamey had a massive hit in the late 2000’s with “In Color” off of his album “That Lonesome Song”, and was pretty much everywhere for a minute.

Ok, I have to flex for a second- I got to meet him back in 2009 in Valdosta, GA, and I swear the guy doens’t smile, no matter how hard I tried to make it happen:

After the success of “That Lonesome Song”, Jamey kind of laid low for about a decade and some change, but now he’s back!

He’s with Warner Music Nashville and just dropped a new song called “When I’m Old” and it’s pure Jamey Johnson:


Now, that’s what I’m talking about.

I’m hoping that he has a new album coming, which would make sense, as he’s with a new label.

It’s been 14 years since he put out a solo album, and it’s about damn time.

Jamey is a true Country artist, and the industry needs more of this.

Fingers crossed on an album announcement soon!

Ella Langley “weren’t for the wind”

Ella Langely is one of the brightest new stars in Country Music, and after the success of her duet with Riley Green “You Look Like You Love Me”, she released a new single called “weren’t for the wind”, and it’s damn good.

I just love her sound.


Freaking good, right?

Country Music needs more of her.

I think she may be my new girl crush.

Ella will be releasing a deluxe version of her debut album “Still Hungover” on November 1st, and I feel like we will be hearing a lot more from her in the future.

Good.

Nate Smith and Avril Lavigne “Can You Die From a Broken Heart”

Well, this was an unexpected treat.

Country star Nate Smith has teamed up with Punk/Pop superstar Avril Lavigne for one hell of a duet called “Can You Die From a Broken Heart”.

It’s freaking fantastic.

No, really, both have incredible voices that soar over over the notes, and the melody of the song is beautiful.


Yep, I love it!

I knew something was brewing when the two were seen together in Nashville last year.  I was hoping for a collab, and here we are!

Also, Avril’s voice is still badass.

“Can You Die From a Broken Heart” is off of Nate Smith’s new album “California Gold” out Friday.

Brooks and Dunn and Lainey Wilson “Play Something Country”

Well, this was just necessary.

Brooks and Dunn AND Lainey Wilson together?

All the YES right there.

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/
