Ready? Let’s Go!
Artist: Sam Hunt
Hometown: Cedertown, GA
Genre: Country
Related: Michael Ray, Dylan Scott, Chase Rice
Song: Sinning With You
Notes: For everyone that complains about Sam Hunt’s music and how it isn’t country enough to be country, I present Sinning With You. Let the man remind you that he’s a star, that he’s back, and that there’s more music new coming. Sinning With You isn’t tradition Opry country, but it’s more laid back than some of Hunt songs that have been ripped into over the years. Let it play, let it wash over you, just sit back with it.

Artist: Carly Pearce
Hometown: Taylor Mill, KY
Genre: Country
Related: Kelsea Ballerini, Lauren Alaina, Tenille Townes
Song: Call Me
Notes: Carly Pearce’s new self-titled album drops on February 14, 2020 – and today we get another advanced single release with Call Me. The new track is fun, flirty, and Pearce reminds everyone that she’s got a lot more to offer than the slowed down heartbreakers like her breakout hit Every Little Thing. We’re looking forward to Carly Pearce on Valentine’s Day!

Artist: Lauv
Hometown: San Francisco, CA
Genre: Pop
Related: Sasha Sloan, Alec Benjamin, Alessia Cara, Halsey
Song: Changes
Notes: From the upcoming album, ~how i’m feeling~, Changes is another new one from Lauv that caught my attention instantly. His ability to be vulnerable and catchy and give hope in less than three minutes is outstanding. And not mentioning his very talented voice while we’re here would be a very big miss.

Artist: Morgan Wallen
Hometown: Sneedville, TN
Genre: Country
Related: Hardy, Jordan Davis, Ryan Hurd
Song: This Bar
Notes: Morgan Wallen surprised us all with the release of This Bar to ring in the new year, and we’re glad he did. One of the breakout country stars of the last two years continues to leave his mark with a look back story of learning who you are with a country twang and familiar imagery. Be ready for this one to be on concert setlists in 2020.

Artist: Roman Clarke
Hometown: Winnipeg, MB
Genre: Pop
Related: Joey Landreth, Liam Duncan, Begonia
Song: High Note
Notes: Roman Clarke is one of our favourite up and coming Canadian singer-songwriters and High Note is just the newest example of why we think so highly of him. We’ve seen Roman play with The Middle Coast and with Joey Landreth, we dove into his 2019 album SCORCHER and we’re ready for whatever comes next. Listen to this talented young artist play his new single with the help of a big band and keep your eyes and ears open for more from Roman Clarke!
