2Julie Williams
CMT Next Women of Country artist Julie Williams, known for her soulful lyrics and authentic storytelling, continues to draw in listeners with her deep connection to nature and emotion. Her latest release is “Reckless Road.”
“I wrote this song about falling for someone who was always looking over their shoulder. Someone who could never stay still for too long and always had their mind on the highway. I wanted to join them on their journey, but they could never quite let me in,” shares Williams. “The more I tried, the farther they ran. Inspired by the 90s country songs I grew up listening to, I wanted a song that I could blast out the window driving down a two-lane mountain highway with my friends and scream so loud that I’d forget that ex who did me wrong.”

7State Champs
State Champs released their new single, “Light Blue,” from their upcoming self-titled record, which will be released on November 8 via Pure Noise Records.

Inspired by Dan & Shay’s “Tequila,” we put our energetic spin on this concept with “Light Blue.” It’s a light-hearted track that reminiscences and rollercoasters between airy, bouncy guitars and pop arrangements to a full-blown fuzzed-out chorus that will have you banging your head in between memories you didn’t ask to be dug back up.”
