It’s that time of the week again! We are back with the best of what’s new in music this week to brighten up all of your playlists! We have everyone from Dasha to Rachel Platten, to Maren Morris!
Bonnie McKee – ‘Forever 21’
Kicking off a new music round-up with Bonnie McKee is the way to go! Always! Bonnie Mckee has been a staple in the music industry for years, with both music of her own and with all of the writing she had done on some of our favorite songs, she’s a true industry giant. And if anyone had any doubt about Bonnie as an artist outside of writing, ‘Forever 21’ is a surefire way to prove that she is a true artist.

Rachel Platten – ‘I Know’
If we are given the chance to praise Rachel Platten we are indeed taking it! For years now, Rachel has been releasing uplifting pop music that has inspired us in some of our tougher moments. ‘I Know’ is a perfect example of a song that takes a bad situation and shows the light, which is a practice we all could implement a bit more!

Dasha – ‘Didn’t I’
Dasha is the future of the country/pop hybrid genre. It’s so incredibly clear after listening to this song. Anyone who thought she was a one-off couldn’t be more wrong, not only is her discography before ‘Austin’ unreal, but ‘Didn’t I’ provides just as much ear candy. We are looking at a future mainstay.

Maren Morris – ‘i hope i never fall in love’
Maren Morris has been one of our favorite artists to watch transform with her most recent projects. We feel like as soon as she made a genre shift we began to see the most honest version of such an incredible artist. ‘i hope i never fall in love’ chronicles what so many of us have gone through post-breakup, and this relatability is what continues to draw listeners to Maren.

Braden Bales – ‘HEAVEN AGAIN’
If you haven’t jumped on the Braden Bales train, allow that to change today. Braden has just released his newest single ‘HEAVEN AGAIN,’ which showcases both his writing and vocal chops perfectly. Braden has shared what a personal song this is for him, and we could tell with every lyric that we were hearing about a real-life situation, sung by the person who had been through it.

Abigail Barlow – ‘Please Me’
Just when you think Abigail Barlow can’t get more talented, she releases the pop tracks of your dreams and cements that she is indeed a mainstay in the pop music world. We knew her previously from Barlow & Bear, but now we have dove into all of her solo work and can’t believe we hadn’t done ourselves that pleasure.

Valley – ‘Bass Player’s Brother’
We know, it’s no surprise we are obsessed with the newest Valley track, as we usually are. ‘Bass Player’s Brother’ feels like its pulled straight out of a 2000s movie that we would have watched a solid thousand times, you can’t listen to this song and tell us it doesn’t belong on a soundtrack.

Calum Scott – ‘Roots’
One thing about Calum Scott is he is always going to come out of the gate with the craziest vocals you’ve ever heard. It never fails. We have been loving ‘Roots’ it’s one of those songs that instantly takes us back to summers in our hometowns, summers where we are with the people who’ve watched us grow, it’s like an upbeat nostalgic hug.

Uncle Kracker – Coffee & Beer
After twelve years, Uncle Kracker is back and as sun-soaked as ever with Coffee & Beer! We got to hear some of the tracks off of this album live and can confirm Uncle Kracker has released a tried and true summer-infused album. When you’ve crafted tracks like ‘Follow Me’ and ‘Smile,’ you can do no wrong in our eyes, and this record proves that to be continuously true.
‘Beach Chair’ is our current go to!
