In an attempt to reel in the hate on his viral “kiss my fish” single, Lee Brice is publicly speaking out for the first time following his Turning Point USA Halftime performance. Brice’s original song, “Country Nowadays,” which he originally debuted at the Alternative Super Bowl Show, officially dropped today, February 20, at midnight. Following his performance, the internet was swirling with negative backlash at what was seen as an “unnecessary” divide between shows. Beyond Kid Rock’s lip-syncing accusation and the overall lackluster of the Turning Point production, Brice’s pro-America anthem stood out as one of the most viral moments…

It’s officially Cloud 9 release day, which means fans have eleven brand new songs to dissect and go full detective mode with. Gearing up to the album’s release, Megan Moroney has been very vocal about the fact that she laid all of her thoughts and feelings out on these tracks, sparing no detail. The 28-year-old singer-songwriter fiercely told fans there wasn’t one song she was nervous for people to hear and that, “I said this whole album with my chest.” In an interview with host Elaina Smith, she called out the album’s 14th track in particular, saying, “Bar for bar,…

Eight months after his tragic accident in Nashville, the charges against country music artist Conner Smith have officially been dropped.  This past June, Smith was involved in a devastating incident in which he struck and killed a pedestrian on Third Avenue North at around 7:30 pm. The victim, 77, Dorothy Dobbins, was rushed to the hospital, where she unfortunately later passed away.  The fatality marked a heavy year for the 25-year-old “Take It Slow” singer, who later addressed the incident in an Instagram post, stating, “Not a day has gone by that I haven’t grieved, prayed, and mourned for Ms.…

The Wyatts are dominating as one of the best new releases of this year so far. Or, as I like to call them, “Wyatt squared.” After some light teasing this past week, the rising artist pairing of Waylon Wyatt and Wyatt Flores dropped their collaborative single, “Didn’t Forget,” today, and it’s a must-listen. Blending their red dirt roots and drawing on influences from Arkansas and Texas, respectively, the pair create a western sound that feels like a perfect match. Flores, who has been spending the past few days in Australia for his Bucking Bin Chicken tour, recently sat down with…

Another Nashville restaurant bites the dust. Downtown Nashville is constantly evolving, with new bars and restaurants opening at a rapid pace. Just yesterday, Kane Brown announced that his new bar will be opening this summer, while longtime favorites like Acme Feed & Seed and many others continue to struggle under rising property taxes. Amidst the city’s shifting landscape, the latest casualty appears to be Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean’s joint restaurant, E3 Chophouse. On Thursday, February 19, the fine-dining establishment took to social media to announce that they’re “hitting pause,” which is never a positive sign for future longevity. In…

Someone pour me up another shot of apple juice. No, unfortunately, those aren’t the real lyrics to this cover track, but they should have been. Kidz Bop has done it again by turning one poorly written song into an even more poorly written song. This time, the victim being Shaboozey’s 2024 hit, “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” The popular kids parody recording company recently released their version earlier this month, on February 6. Before its release, Senior Vice President Michael Anderson sat down with Parade magazine for a full divulge on the 25th anniversary album that just dropped. Given its undeniable…
