It seems the Winter Blues are finally evaporating, with a plethora of big-name artists gracing this week's playlist with an exciting host of summery serenadas. We've got new earworms from Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Noah Kahan, Kane Brown and more.
Listen along to our Best New Country playlist on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and Amazon.
Best New Country
On the cover of this week's Best New Country playlist is Tucker Wetmore.
Winter is nearly over, and our thoughts are quickly turning towards the prospect of ice-cold margaritas, lazy beach days and the scent of a BBQ sizzling away.
We had Russell Dickerson helping us get in the summer spirit last week with the nautically-minded ‘B.O.A.T’, and this week, Tucker Wetmore is picking up the Tiki Bar baton as he regales listeners with the rose-tinted, wine-fuelled tale of a summer romance. Wetmore has been leaning into heartbreak songs of late, so it's refreshing to hear the ‘Wine Into Whiskey’ hitmaker stepping into his ‘Loverboy’ era.
Listen to the Official Audio for 'Sunburn' below:
Best New Country Song of the Week
Brandon Lake has been teasing a full-blown foray into the country music world for a while now, following his viral, Grammy-winning duet with Jelly Roll, ‘Hard Fought Hallelujah’.
Now, it seems we have the lead single from Lake's forthcoming project, ‘Just Believe’ with Bailey Zimmerman. Zimmerman has proven himself as a go-to collaborator for artists venturing into the country world, as we saw with BigXthaPlug's ‘All The Way’.
‘Just Believe’ is a euphoric, faith-filled anthem, with Zimmerman atmospheric vibrato combining Lake's charismatic, galvanising vocals to produce a track we'll have on repeat for the foreseeable future. With more link-ups on the way from Lake with Thomas Rhett, Russell Dickerson, Dan + Shay and Lainey Wilson, we can't wait for this next country-infused chapter from the ‘Gratitude’ chart-topper.
