Penned by Kylie with Jason Massey and Nelly Joy, her distinct vocal delivery shines throughout the ballad, chronicling tough goodbyes and the phases of life that leave us missing loved ones.

“Don’t Stay Gone Too Long” is the first look at new music from Kylie, following her 2022 EPs P.S. and Songs To Say I Do. She will take her fan-favorite tracks and bold, up-tempo bangers on the road this spring for her first-ever headlining run. The Independent With You Tour kicks off April 6 with stops on both coasts and several cities across the country. Tickets and VIP packages for all 10 dates are available at www.KylieMorgan.com.

About Kylie Morgan:
Exuberant and ethereal, Kylie Morgan is turning heads with her EP P.S., out everywhere now. Pairing articulate, coming-of-age revelations with fun up-tempo anthems, P.S. features seven tracks each co-written by Kylie, including her debut single to country radio, “If He Wanted To He Would.” P.S. is the anticipated follow-up to her breakout EP, Love, Kylie – a bold introduction that scored the Oklahoma native a place as one of CMT’s Next Women of Country, VEVO’s 2021 DSCVR Artists to Watch, and to CMA’s coveted KixStart program. Already surpassing 200 MILLION global streams, Kylie has been praised for her “powerful voice” (CMT) with “infectious arrangements, irresistibly clever lyrics and a vibrant, empowering energy” (American Songwriter). With her first-ever headlining Independent With You Tour set to kick off this spring, she has previously opened for artists including Dan + Shay, Little Big Town, Maren Morris, Kip Moore, Jason Derulo, Gavin DeGraw, Brett Eldredge and Billy Currington.

PARKER MCCOLLUM ANNOUNCES UPCOMING ALBUM, NEVER ENOUGH, OUT MAY 12th.

Parker McCollum has revealed the title and cover of his forthcoming studio album, Never Enough, out May 12th via MCA Nashville. Set to showcase depth in his songwriting and the evolvement of his artistry, the project will include McCollum’s new song, “I Ain’t Going Nowhere,” out everywhere today. Written by McCollum, Lori McKenna, Lee Miller, Jon Randall and Liz Rose, the up-tempo track is told from a restless dreamer’s perspective – caught between the enticing pull of wanderlust and that special person that makes staying in one place more than worth it.

“’I Ain’t Going Nowhere’ really is kind of a testament to where I’m at in my life right now. I’ve spent so much time on the road and touring and living on a tour bus and in a van since I was basically a kid and never thought I would settle down or slow down at all. And not to say I’m really slowing down, but, certainly have settled down and found that person that makes it worth it when you have a place to come home to that is not a tour bus or a highway. That was kind of the idea we were going with behind ‘I Ain’t Going Nowhere’.” – Parker McCollum

“I Ain’t Going Nowhere” follows the lead single from Never Enough, “Handle On You,” now Top-10-and-climbing on country radio and surpassing 90 million global streams. Also set to be featured on Never Enough is McCollum’s recent release “Stoned,” which marked the fast-rising star’s highest streaming debut to date, with MusicRow praising it’s a “crashing, bluesy ballad,” and McCollum is “as terrific as ever.”

This month, McCollum kicked off a packed 2023 touring schedule selling out shows in Columbus, Detroit and Cincinnati. In addition to headlining dates in major markets, the dedicated road-warrior can be seen performing at some of country music’s high-profile festivals including Stagecoach, Country Thunder and iHeartCountry Festival, plus sharing the bill with Morgan Wallen and Eric Church later this year.

A full list of McCollum’s upcoming tour dates and tickets are available here.

LUKE BRYAN HELPS TO FACILITATE THE AMERICAN “IDOL” DREAM.

The new season of American Idol premieres Sunday (August 19th) with Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie returning as judges for their sixth time.

https://twitter.com/AmericanIdol/status/1625228126736510976

Luke loves being a part of the talent competition show, and one of the reasons is because he is able to help people realize their dreams. “Facilitating the American dream of people that are chasing their dream and chasing the stars, that’s the neatest thing about American Idol,” the Georgia native says. “When a kid walks through the door, you never know if they’re gonna change our lives, change their lives and change some people watching at home, change their lives too. That’s the special part about American Idol – a kid can walk in and for the rest of their life, they can go follow their dreams and do what they love — sing music.”

Luke said one of his favorite moments of being on American Idol involves fellow judge Katy Perry. “Probably one of my favorite judging moments is when Katy Perry was in a mermaid costume and falling out of her chair,” he says. “And yeah, my response laughing at her was pretty priceless.”

MICKEY GUYTON RELEASES THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR “HOW YOU LOVE SOMEONE.”

Mickey Guyton has released the music video for her song, “How You Love Someone.”

 

 

 

JORDAN DAVIS SET TO RELEASE HIS NEW ALBUM, BLUEBIRD DAYS, THIS WEEK.

Jordan Davis will release his “Bluebird Days” album later this week, and he and producer Paul DiGiovanni discussed how they wanted to frame this album, even talking to the record’s co-writers about their ideas.

“The main thing I wanted it to be is the most honest record or collection of songs that I’ve ever put out,” says Jordan. “So you get songs like ‘Short Fuse,’ ‘Bluebird Days,’ ‘Money Isn’t Real’, you know those kinda heavier songs, and then I also wanted this to be our big thing going into this with me and Paul and even telling some of my songwriters — it’s like, man, we want this to kinda be a past, present and how we’re going to live the rest of our life off of. The past being songs like ‘What I Wouldn’t Do,’ ‘Sunday Saints,’ ‘You Got My Number’ to kinda present songs–I would throw ‘Money Isn’t Real’ in there ‘What My World Spins Around,’ ‘Buy Dirt,’ ‘Next Thing You Know’ and then the future songs like ‘Part of It’ that are kind of like ‘Fishing Spot’ which is kind of about my grandpa, you know, how I spend time with him now. So those were kind of the tent poles of what I wanted it to be. You know I wanted it to be as creative as possible and throw together some type of story and tie that all into what I feel like ‘Bluebird Day’ — which is what I feel like is an ideal perfect day which is where I feel like I’m at in my personal life, my professional life — and then kinda tie it back to the song itself being a cautionary tale, it can go away really quick if you lose sight of some really important stuff. So, those are kind of what I wanted to do with this album.”

The album, available everywhere on Friday (February 17th), will include Jordan’s multi-week, 2x Platinum No. 1 single, “Buy Dirt,” which earned the Louisiana native his first Song of the Year win last Fall at the 2022 CMA Awards.  The collection will also include his most recent multi-week chart-topper, “What My World Spins Around,” as well as his brand new single, “Next Thing You Know.”
