Artist: Dierks Bentley
Hometown: Phoenix, AZ
Genre: Country
Related: Blake Shelton, Josh Turner, Jake Owen
Song: The Mountain
Notes: The title track from Dierks Bentley‘s upcoming album is a hard-hitting track that gets even heavier with the amazing video he’s put together featuring a family that was immediately impacted by the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013. The Mountain is Bentley showing us all that he’s one of the best in the genre, in case we needed reminding.

Song: Neon Love
Notes: Madeline Merlo has us thinking of sunny summer days and nights out on the town with her first single of 2018. Neon Love captures the vibe that took Madeline into the Top 10 with Motel Flamingo and is a song that we can already picture her fans singing along to during the summer festival season.

Song: Getting Closer
Notes: If you’re looking for a summer jam to get you moving and into the spirit of the sunny day season, New City has got you covered.

Song: Separate Ways
Notes: Ontario rock and rollers, The Honest Heart Collective are back at it with the release of Separate Ways. The track goes all in on heartbreak and a breakup and is unafraid to include the fact that there’s a kid involved, which is big. Turn the volume up on this one.
