Best New Country Songs

It's another top-tier New Music Friday! It may be the week after Valentine's Day and the festive gift-giving season is a distant memory, but we're still being well and truly spoiled with new releases from Megan Moroney, Ashley McBryde, Luke Bryan and more.

Listen along to our Best New Country playlist on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and Amazon.

On the cover of this week's Best New Country playlist is Megan Moroney.

With the Georgia native's brilliant new studio album, Cloud 9, arriving today, it's difficult to pick just one song for our Best New Country playlist - but we've settled on ‘Medicine’.

An infectious, honky-tonkin’ anthem, ‘Medicine’ will silence all those critics who were expecting Moroney to shift towards pop, following the Sabrina Carpenter-esque ‘Wish I Didn't’. ‘Medicine’ is country through and through, with the playful earworm capturing the newfound swagger and confidence that permeates the album.

Watch the Official Lyric Video for 'Medicine' below:

After her lauded 2023 record, The Devil I Know, Ashley McBryde has been quietly but consistently dropping some stellar singles as she gears up for her eagerly awaited new album.

The latest is ‘Arkansas Mud’, which finds the country-rocker leaning into the fiery, raging ambience of fan-favourites like ‘Martha Divine’ and ‘Rattlesnake Preacher’. McBryde dials up the intensity to 10 and delivers a charismatic, unapologetic vocal performance across a dramatic sea of electric guitars - pure theatre.
