John King Releases New Track “Close” To Digital Outlets

Starstruck Entertainment and country singer/songwriter John King’s single “Try Saying Goodbye” officially hit radio in mid-August and the single continues to grow weekly with new stations and spins including two big adds this week with iHeart stations in Atlanta and Albuquerque.  The single, that Rolling Stone called a “pristinely produced country-pop track,” has been a favorite of everyone from industry professionals to fans all over the world and has garnered over 13 million streams.

“I’m so excited about the response we are getting from the fans and radio alike for Try Saying Goodbye,” says King. “This is such a special song to me and I love how everyone has their own story of what it means to them.” 

King always puts his fans at the forefront and he’s continuing that with the digital release of the vibey and sultry tune  “Close” today. The song has a different feel than previous songs and is something fans are sure to fall in love with.  The song, written by King, Chris Gelbuda and Matt McVaney and produced by McVaney has a unique spin that is so relatable. 

Listen here. 

“I fell in love with the uniqueness of this song both lyrically and sonically” says King. “It has a sound all of its own.” 

Be sure to catch King out on the road this fall. More details and information at www.johnkingcountry.com.

Dustin Lynch To Release Fourth Studio Album TULLAHOMA on January 17, Announces 2020 Headlining Tour

Broken Bow Records hitmaker DUSTIN LYNCH is using his fourth album to recount the Country saga of a true “Small Town Boy,” setting January 17 for the release of TULLAHOMA.

Named after the acclaimed star’s Tennessee hometown, the ambitious self-portrait comes after eight years of sustained success including six #1s, six GOLD and PLATINUM certifications and membership in the historic Grand Ole Opry – but it finds Lynch taking stock of himself like never before.

“It’s all about me and growing up in my hometown,” he explains. “Every song on this album points to something that happened to me or my close friends and family, and that’s really cool. I’m very proud of where I’m from, and proud of this record because it will hopefully make my hometown a little more famous than it already is.”

Incorporating the three songs on Lynch’s RIDIN’ ROADS EP – including his current single of the same name – and most-recent #1 “Good Girl,” TULLAHOMA marks a creative step forward for both the artist and his co-writer/co-producer, Zach Crowell. The longtime friends spearheaded the project from start to finish – the first time Lynch has used a single producer for a whole album – letting a universal story about coming of age and discovering yourself unfold.

“I’ve done a lot more living than I’ve done in the past, because this is the first time I’ve been able to tour and also feel like I have a life outside of that,” says the hard-working artist, who just finished another milestone year on Thomas Rhett’s VERY HOT SUMMER TOUR.

“It’s figuring out what I enjoy about life the most – outside of music. The kind of stuff my mom and dad, my family and my friends back home did growing up. Outdoors stuff like hunting and fishing, hanging out in the backyard around a bonfire, just connecting. I long to be that kid again, and I think we all do. You get to a certain point in life and start reflecting on why you’re where you’re at … and I’ve just figured out that’s what makes me tick. That’s why I work hard.”

In addition to the album, Lynch is also announcing his next headlining run – fittingly dubbed the STAY COUNTRY TOUR 2020. Kicking off January 30 in Detroit, Michigan, the trek will crisscross the entire U.S. with opener TRAVIS DENNING.

Tickets for select dates of the STAY COUNTRY TOUR 2020 go on sale Friday, November 15 at 10 a.m. local time, and a portion of each sale will benefit The Cowboys and Angels Fund – which supports various philanthropic causes including an intentional focus on children’s charities. The Cowboys and Angels Fund was established by Lynch in 2018 at The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee to help to make a difference in the lives of those in need.

Go Behind Miranda Lambert’s Latest Album WILDCARD Exclusively with Apple Music

‘Behind Miranda Lambert’s Wildcard’, an original short film chronicling the making of the country superstar’s 7th album, comes exclusively to Apple Music. Consider it an invitation into her brave new world: an adventurous, creative playground which finds her ruminating on her Texas roots while exploring new horizons.
Lambert now splits her time between Nashville and New York, and says the latter’s confident, spontaneous energy has seeped into her art.
 
In the film, Miranda discusses approaching the making of Wildcard like her first album, the importance of taking time off to make room for creativity, channeling confidence, chasing a more spontaneous live sound, and the trickiness of blending country and rock, telling Apple Music: “Country it’s what I do, it’s who I am — but I love rock and roll.” 
 
‘Behind Miranda Lambert’s Wildcard’ features appearances and commentary from the album’s producer Jay Joyce as well as co-writers Natalie Hemby, Ashley Monroe, Luke Dick and The Love Junkies, which are comprised of Liz Rose, Lori McKenna and Hillary Lindsey. 
 
Wildcard, released on November 1st, was the most pre-added country album by a female artist on Apple Music of all time. 
  
Watch the film in full only on Apple Music HERE.
