  • SAM HUNT’S NEW ALBUM FELL INTO PLACE AFTER WRITING “HARD TO FORGET.”

    Sam Hunt is climbing the country charts with his latest smash, “Hard to Forget,” and he says his new album SOUTHSIDE pretty much fell into place when he and his co-writers finished the song.

    “I heard the Webb Pierce sample and knew I had to write a song with that sample included in the track,” says Sam. “I didn’t have an idea at the time but I had started this other song with another couple buddies of mine, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, and we started this song and bounced around this idea hard to for ‘Hard to Forget’ and it didn’t sound anything like the version on the record. I had this track and knew I needed a classic title like ‘Hard to Forget’ that just was a play on words. And I’ve done that with other titles but I wanted a classic country title with a play on words like ‘Hard to Forget.’ So, I took that title and highjacked it from the original song and scrapped everything and started over with this Webb Pierce track and this just came out really quickly and that was that. Honestly, the record was all over the place at that point and as soon as that song was finished it all seemed to come together – I think I wrote three or four more songs quickly after that. It was like ‘Okay, we got a record. Let’s go.’”

    SOUTHSIDE is the first full album since Hunt’s critically acclaimed, GRAMMY-nominated, Triple-Platinum-selling debut, Montevallo, which was released nearly six years ago in 2014.

    Audio / Sam Hunt says when they finished “Hard to Forget,” the new record just fell into place.

He really took pride in what that meant, and it was something I got to see it first hand, as somebody who got to experience that; somebody who had that galvanized American trait. It’s hard to describe it. It was just somebody who’s been through that, seen that and really appreciates what that means. I try to channel that into my life, because I haven’t fought in any war, but I have a ton of respect for folks who have, folks who’ve sacrificed, families who’ve lost lives and just sacrificed years of their own lives and time and effort to maintain those freedoms.”

  • SAM HUNT JOINS FORCES WITH BRELAND TO REV UP HIS SMASH DEBUT “MY TRUCK.”

     

     

    Atlanta-based singer/songwriter BRELAND revs up his breakout single “My Truck” with a fresh remix featuring Country superstar Sam Hunt. Released via Bad Realm/Atlantic Records, the magnetic collaboration comes hot on the heels of the already viral country-trap smash that’s amassed over 50 million streams and more than 11 million music-video views to date. “My Truck (feat. Sam Hunt) [Remix]” is now available at all digital music retailers and streaming services HERE. Upping the ante, BRELAND and Hunt have joined forces, starring in a visualizer for the track — watch now on BRELAND’s YouTube channel HERE.

     

    Building on the original version’s gritty guitar work and hard-hitting beats, “My Truck (feat. Sam Hunt) [Remix]” further reveals BRELAND’s genre-bending ingenuity and supreme skill as a songwriter. In a perfect counterpart to the 24-year-old artist’s powerful vocals, multi-platinum-selling hitmaker Hunt turns in a soul-stirring performance showcasing the incredible range that’s earned him multiple Grammy Award nominations. The collaboration follows the release of Hunt’s chart-topping sophomore album SOUTHSIDE.

    As noted by The New York Times, Hunt took notice of “how quickly and freely Breland improvised melodic lines” and for him “it was a rare opportunity to collaborate with someone who approached the country-rap divide from the other side.”

    Seeing Hunt’s support as a stamp of approval, BRELAND shares “Sam is one of my favorite artists and a pioneer in country music. I couldn’t think of a more fitting artist to be on this type of genre-bending song. I think he brings an incredible energy to it!”

    To celebrate the release, tune in to BRELAND’s Instagram for a must-see IG Live chat with Sam Hunt today at 4p ET / 1p PT.

    Since exploding onto the scene with the independent release of “My Truck” in late 2019, BRELAND has shown the tremendous depth of his talent, matching his massive appeal with tightly honed musicianship. Igniting a viral moment with over 520,000 TikTok visuals created to date, “My Truck” soon emerged as a worldwide smash, rising to #1 on Spotify’s Global Viral 50 and US Viral 50 charts and landing on Spotify’s biggest country playlist “Hot Country” (5.7m followers).

    Continuing the excitement, BRELAND’s debut EP is expected for release in May.

    Sam Hunt recently released critically acclaimed sophomore album SOUTHSIDE. Debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart, SOUTHSIDE is the best-selling country debut of 2020 thus far. Daring in both its emotional heft and sonic explorations, SOUTHSIDE features 12 tracks all written by the multi-platinum-selling star including No. 1 hit “Kinfolks,” the 6x Platinum, record-breaking “Body Like A Back Road,” and current radio hit “Hard To Forget,” a song already being called the Song of the Summer (NPR). SOUTHSIDE follows Hunt’s GRAMMY-nominated, Triple-Platinum-selling debut album, MONTEVALLO, which also topped the Billboard Country Albums Chart in its first week and it remains the best-selling debut album for a country artist since 2011

    Sam Hunt (Young Once) OC: …before. :41
    “’Young Once,’ so that’s a song that reflects on youth in a nostalgic way. I’m a little older than I was when I made my first record and reflecting on your younger days is a theme in country music that you see all the time. So, it’s like how do you do that in an original way?  How do you write that song in an original way? And for some reason, God has just put ideas in front of me that sometimes when these ideas come into a room, whether I come up with it or a cowriter, it’s like ‘How’s this not been written yet?’ And this is one of those ideas that I thought how has nobody flipped this hook and written this song this way before?”
