I really feel like we’ve done a good job with the production [and] with the writing of this record, and I hope you feel like you know a little bit more about who I am after listening to it. That’s kinda what I hope you take away with from the Home State album.”

    “‘Singles You Up’ was written with two buddies of mine back in Nashville. One of ‘em had just gotten engaged, and when he came in we were congratulating him on it, and the saying ‘You’re smart enough not to single her up’ was thrown up, and I think we all kind of knew that we needed to write that. We actually wrote it really, really quick, I mean right when we got done, we knew we had something special. So, we have a blast playing it, and I can’t be happier that it’s my debut single. It’s a song that means a lot to me.”

    “When it came time to name the record, you know, Louisiana is a big part of who I am and I love the fact that I’m from Louisiana and I call Louisiana my home state. One of the main reasons that it’s called that is that this record, the ideas for these songs, the inspiration behind these songs can all be traced back to Louisiana. All those songs [on the record] started in Louisiana, and I thought what better way than to kinda put a line through all of them and tie a bow on this whole record. I thought Louisiana was too much, and I’ve always loved that title, Home State.”

  • JORDAN DAVIS OVERWHELMED BY HOW HIS DEBUT SONG, ‘SINGLES YOU UP,’ IS AFFECTING PEOPLE.

    Jordan Davis is experiencing his first Top 5 record with his debut song, “Singles You Up.” He says seeing how the song affects people is the main reason he writes and makes music.

    “Obviously, country radio has been great in playing it and to see it where it’s at on the charts as a debut song, you know it’s kinda crazy you know to think that it’s doing what it’s doing,” says Jordan. “To see people’s reaction when we start playing that song, you know that’s why we do it. That’s why you write songs for people to hear ‘em, for people to feel something. That’s one that people have fun when they hear that song, you know when we play it in the live show. When I see people’s reaction to it on Twitter or Instagram, that’s why you write music — to make somebody feel something. And if they feel happy when they sing it, it’s pretty awesome. So, it’s one that I’m happy to be a part of.”

    “Singles You Up” is the first release from his debut album, Home State, which will be available next Friday (March 23rd).

That’s why you write songs for people to hear ‘em, for people to feel something. That’s one that people have fun when they hear that song, you know when we play it in the live show.

  • JORDAN DAVIS GIVES A NOD TO LOUISIANA ON HIS DEBUT ALBUM, ‘HOME STATE.’

    Jordan Davis is preparing to release his debut album, Home State, later this month. The singer-songwriter is from Louisiana and what better way to honor where he came from than to reference them in the title of his first album?

    “One of the main reasons that it’s called that is that this record, the ideas for these songs, the inspiration behind these songs can all be traced back to Louisiana. All those songs [on the record] started in Louisiana, and I thought what better way than to kinda put a line through all of them and tie a bow on this whole record. I thought Louisiana was too much, and I’ve always loved that title, Home State.”

    Jordan’s Top 10 song, “Singles You Up,” is the first release from Home State, which will be available March 23rd.

    Jordan heads to Decatur, Georgia March 20th for the next stop on his White Wine and Whiskey Tour.

  • JORDAN DAVIS’ SHREVEPORT ROOTS ARE REVEALED IN HIS MUSIC.

    Jordan Davis is from Shreveport, Louisiana, and he says growing up there has heavily influenced his music.

    “I’m from Shreveport, Louisiana and I think that it’s influenced my music, basically because it’s just a melting pot,” says Jordan. “You know, the musical history of Shreveport goes back very, very far, back to the Louisiana Hayride, and I think the music is a huge part of what Shreveport is. Being that close to Mississippi, being in the same state as New Orleans, there’s just a huge culture, mixed bag of different kinds of music. Then you throw in the music that’s been in my family – my dad, my mom, my uncle – I think it just kind of made for this perfect storm of what my music is today.”

    Jordan is sitting inside the Top 10 on the country charts with his debut song, “Singles You Up.” It’s the first release from his upcoming album, Home State, which comes out March 23rd.

    Jordan will join Jake Owen and Chris Janson on the Life’s Whatcha Make It Tour, kicking off May 18th in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

    Audio / Jordan Davis says being raised in Shreveport, Louisiana has crafted his musical style.

  • JORDAN DAVIS HITS THE TOP 10 WITH ‘SINGLES YOU UP.’

    Jordan Davis has entered the Top 10 on the country charts with his debut song “Singles You Up.” He co-wrote the infectious song with Justin Ebach and Steven Dale Jones, and the Louisiana native has a pretty easy definition for the title of the song.

    “‘Singles You Up’ to me means if you see a girl may be taken, but she’s a great girl, and ‘A’ if she ever gets singled up or if you think you can be a better boyfriend than the one she already has, just hang around and I don’t know, [you] maybe might get your shot,” says Jordan.

    “Singles You Up” is the first release from Jordan’s forthcoming album, Home State, available March 23rd.

    Jordan is currently on the road on his White Wine and Whiskey Tour. The next stops on the trek are Friday (February 23rd) in Dallas and Sunday (February 25th) in Austin, Texas.
