We’re halfway through the first month of the new year, and SO MANY of our favorite country artists are setting the bar high by dropping incredible new songs.
For starters, Kane Brown is giving fans a taste of his new album one week early by releasing his new song “Gorgeous” today (January 17). A heartfelt and intimate tribute to his wife, the song serves as a personal reflection on the deeper connection that truly matters—emphasizing that it’s what’s inside that counts. With tender lyrics, this love song celebrates those who cherish each other for who they are at the core.
Country crooner Jon Pardi shared the exciting news today that 2025 will be his year to release a full-length project. Titled Honkytonk Hollywood, the California native’s fifth studio album is set to drop on Friday, April 11th and is set to have 17-tracks.
According to a press release, the album is the spiritual successor to his fearless breakout hits, and once again finds Pardi pulling out the stops to stay true to himself – yet giving his signature sound a new spark. Some tracks ring with pristine, pure-country tenderness, while others embrace fuzzed-out fiddles and soaring tripled guitars, or grungy bass lines and bottomless grooves. The title track “Honkytonk Hollywood” — which is out now — sets the mood placed strategically in the core of the album. It’s a grits-and-glitz tribute to the dual nature of Pardi’s life and mindset.
Other releases that we can’t stop listening to come from LANCO, Ryan Waters, Willow Avalon, as they released new projects, with hot earworms from artists like HARDY, Hailey Whitters, Drew Green, George Birge, Chase Matthew, Gavin Adcock, Adam Doleac and Eli Young Band among others.
Music City’s newcomers certainly didn’t disappoint when it comes to sharing their latest material today, as artists like Emily Ann Roberts, Faith Hopkins, David J, Julia Minichiello, Kashus Culpepper, Waylon Wyatt with Bayker Blankenship and more dropped some songs (and music videos) that you need to check out.
