If you are looking for new music, we have created a list of established artists you might know and new artists you may want to explore.
1Shania Twain
Shania Twain shares a brand-new single entitled “Giddy Up!” a full length record is expected to drop in February, the first since 2017. Shania says, “The saying “Let’s Go Girls!” is such a wonderfully uplifting sentiment now, but it’s just something I said during the recording in the studio and I guess that’s the same for “Giddy Up!”. These lines come to me when I’m thinking about how to put a little “pep in my step.” I want people to feel good when they hear the new album. I want to set a celebratory tone and “Giddy Up!” is a way to call to the audience and say “let’s get ready for some fun!”

3Cheat Codes with Dolly Parton
Trio Cheat Codes are set to release their 5th single Bets On Us with multi generational superstar Dolly Parton out now. Matthew Russell of the trio says “Having Dolly on this album is so surreal and a full circle moment for me personally. As someone who grew up in the Midwest my family and I would go to her event in the Great Smokey Mountains. Her larger than life photos were everywhere and now having song with one of the biggest music legends of all time and especially in the county space is incredible.”

8Lonnie
Lonnie – whose blend of alt-R&B, melodic rap, and pop appeal is making him one to watch this year. Says Lonnie of the track, “This is a story of a guy who is in love with a girl, and she wants to act like they’re dating but doesn’t want to prioritize a relationship. The guy is chasing after her to actually be together, but she is chasing after fun and distractions, so he cuts it out because he doesn’t want to ruin it with a one-night stand. He would rather wait for something serious.”
