New Music from Matchbox Twenty, Brothers Osborne, James Barker Band ft. Dalton Dover, Robyn Ottolini, and Runaway Angel

It’s New Music Spotlight time, and this week we’ve got a little pop from some legends and a whole bunch of country music.

The list kicks off with Matchbox Twenty, who we’ve all known for a long time – and it wraps up with the return of our pals, Runaway Angel and a sunny summer vibe.

Hit play on all five songs and let us know in a comment which song(s) are making your playlists. And, as always, if you find any new song or artist you love, tell a friend so they can love it too.

Ready? Let’s Go!

Artist: Matchbox Twenty
Genre: Pop
Fans Also Like: Hootie & The Blowfish, Vertical Horizon, Gin Blossoms
Song: Queen of New York City
Notes: Matchbox Twenty has soundtracked a lot of moments in a lot of lives, and now Queen of New York City is looking to make its mark alongside the classics. I can see the story, the girl, the city all in my mind while I listen. And when Rob Thomas sings, “and then she smiles at you the way that people smile when they’re trying not to cry”, the picture gets even clearer. Nailed it.

Artist: Brothers Osborne
Genre: Country
Fans Also Like: Kip Moore, Eric Church, Old Dominion
Song: Goodbye’s Kickin’ In
Notes: Brothers Osborne has a new one that we’re all in on with Goodbye’s Kickin’ In. We’re getting an Eagles groove, a smooth heartbreak, and the combo of musicianship and vocals that Brothers Osborne has made a signature throughout their career. This is brand new and feels like I’ve known it my whole life. Enjoy!

Song: On The Water
Notes: Your boys, James Barker Band can’t stop themselves from giving us a summer/water/sunshine/drinks jam as we head into the nicer weather. With Dalton Dover in the featured spot, On The Water brings a new piece to the JBB catalogue, and ain’t nobody going to complain – it’s a great fit, and we’re here for it.

Artist: Robyn Ottolini
Genre: Country
Fans Also Like: MacKenzie Porter, Madeline Merlo, Meghan Patrick
Song: Katie’s Song
Notes: This song makes me happy! Happy for Robyn Ottolini to release to the world, happy for LGBTIQA+ folks whose stories don’t get told in country music, but mostly, it makes me happy for Katie. The love and pure joy that pours out of this country song in 3 minutes and 36 seconds is exactly what I needed today. I hope you love it as much as I do. On repeat.

Fans Also Like: Genevieve Fisher, Nicole Rayy, Elyse Saunders
Song: Beach Please
Notes: Runaway Angel is back! Cadence, Stacey and Ann have returned and are ready for summer with Beach Please. If you’re looking for a “get me out of here”, “I need a break”, or “I’ve had enough” vibe, this is it. Turn this one up and enjoy. I did.
