Whether you're into twang, trap, or techno, there’s something here to soundtrack your spring.

“Well Well Whiskey”Dierks Bentley

Dierks Bentley takes a victorious step back to his acoustic roots with “Well Well Whiskey,” a foot-stomping, soul-stirring slice of bluegrass bliss. Powered by a ferocious performance from guitar legend Bryan Sutton, the track is a spirited, whiskey-soaked dance with heartbreak — equal parts rowdy and reflective. Fans of Bentley’s Up On the Ridge era will feel right at home here, and newcomers? Prepare to be converted. This song is built for late nights, loud crowds, and live summer stages. It’s Dierks at his most free, most fun, and most fearless. 

“Bluebird”Lana Del Rey

A hush falls when Lana sings, and “Bluebird” is no exception. Ethereal, aching, and brimming with cinematic melancholy, this track is Lana at her most poetic. She’s not just a singer – she’s a world builder, and “Bluebird” takes flight on winds of nostalgia, heartbreak, and beauty. Prepare to be swept away.

“I Ain’t Comin’ Back” - Post Malone & Morgan Wallen

A warm, twangy blend of heartbreak and hazy guitars, this collab feels like a late-night confessional with a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other. Posty croons with his usual raspy charm while Morgan anchors the track in Southern grit, making it the kind of genre-crossover that feels natural — not forced. It’s dusty, lonely, and comforting in all the right ways.

“Headphones On” - Addison Rae

Addison Rae’s pop reinvention continues to surprise. “Headphones On” is a dreamy, synth-drenched escape track – equal parts vulnerable and vibey. The lyrics feel intimate, like the pages of a diary, while the production shimmers in all the right places.

“Man I Ain’t Met Yet”Micah Fletcher

Cue the goosebumps. Rising star Micah Fletcher delivers a heart-hitting anthem with “Man I Ain’t Met Yet” — a tribute to future fatherhood wrapped in vulnerability and warmth. Backed by touching lyricism and understated, elegant production. Fletcher crafts a moment that feels both timeless and deeply personal. This is a love letter to tomorrow, and it lands with quiet power. Keep your eye on Fletcher — he’s making country music that matters.

“Someone’s Gotta Give”Jenna DeVries

Jenna DeVries doesn’t just sing a heartbreak — she conquers it. “Someone’s Gotta Give” is a '90s-country-tinged masterpiece, wrapped in sharp lyrics and vocals that burn with truth. It’s an anthem for the wounded and the wise, for anyone stuck in the push-pull of a love that just won’t settle. DeVries is the real deal; this track cements her place among the greats.

REBEL (Revisited) Anne Wilson

Anne Wilson’s reimagining of REBEL is a bold and beautiful victory lap. With added tracks, new interpretations, and the same fire that made the original soar, REBEL (Revisited) is an uplifting, faith-fueled celebration of individuality and strength. Wilson's voice shines with purpose and conviction — it’s an album that empowers as much as it entertains.

“Liar’s Disguise”Lauren Freebird

With a name like Lauren Freebird, you expect fire and she delivers. “Liar’s Disguise” is a gritty, blues-soaked knockout that refuses to flinch. Her voice is electric, her lyrics slice deep, and the production walks the line between rock rebel and honky-tonk outlaw. If you’re not playing this one on repeat, you’re missing out on one of the rawest cuts of the week.

“I Hate Chevrolets”Bailey James

Bailey James turns a classic truck into a heartbreak metaphor in the most hauntingly beautiful way. “I Hate Chevrolets” is aching, soulful, and utterly unforgettable. With help from songwriting legend Mark Irwin, Bailey taps into a deep well of emotion and memory, creating a song that’s as timeless as it is tender. This is alt-country at its finest.

“Southern Lover”Joey Myron

Warning: you will dance to this one. Joey Myron lights up the country world with “Southern Lover,” a flirty, funky, retro-slick crossover that channels 70s disco charm with Nashville swagger. This groove-filled bop is the soundtrack to a summer romance you never saw coming. Myron’s smooth-as-honey vocals and cheeky storytelling make this feel like a pop-country fever dream –  and we’re loving every second. If you’re not already obsessed, you will be.

“My Crazy”Ashley Ryan

Ashley Ryan has done it again. “My Crazy” is a full-throttle, heart-first anthem that barrels straight into the wild side of love. With a voice as powerful as her pen, Ryan captures the euphoria and madness of falling for the one person who makes you rewrite your rules. It’s fearless, it’s fiery, and it’s completely unforgettable. Love has never sounded this alive.

Love and a Heartbreak (LP)Hayden Coffman

Hayden Coffman’s Love and a Heartbreak is more than an album — it’s a diary, a concert, and a conversation with your best friend all in one. Coffman’s signature soul shines across every track, from gut-punch breakups to hopeful reflections. Anchored by the fan-favorite “Don’t Come With a Label,” the LP is a masterclass in modern country storytelling. It’s honest. It’s healing. It’s Coffman’s best yet.

“Don’t Miss Your Moment”Peech.

Genre-bending artist Peech returns with “Don’t Miss Your Moment,” a hopeful, head-nodding track that pulses with heart and wisdom. Channeling the spirit of Cudi, the lyrical depth of Mac Miller, and the indie soul of Bon Iver, this track is a rallying cry for dreamers and doers alike. Peech. has a rare ability to mix introspection with anthemic energy – and this one’s destined to be your new favorite.

Comin’ In Country (EP) – Drew Green

Drew Green’s Comin’ In Country EP is six tracks of country gold. From the heartbreak singalong “There Ain’t a Bar” to the down-home charm of “Hot Chicken,” Green fuses modern swagger with classic sensibilities. Each song has its own flavor, but together they paint a picture of an artist at the top of his game. It’s clever, catchy, and packed with soul – exactly what country music needs right now.

“Mama Don’t Pray Like She Used To”Ashland Craft

Ashland Craft hits a stunning emotional chord with “Mama Don’t Pray Like She Used To,” a raw and reflective ballad that explores the shifting nature of faith and family. With haunting production and her unmistakable, gravel-laced voice, Craft proves once again why she’s one of the genre’s most powerful storytellers. This is a quiet storm of a song – don’t miss it.
