New Releases category interest

Five-time Entertainer of the Year and “The 58^th Annual CMA Awards” host Luke Bryan is releasing a new single to country radio today, “Country Song Came On.” Written by Ryan Beaver, Dan Alley, Neil Medley, the “fresh” and “vulnerable” song is the follow up release to Luke’s recent 31^st #1 single “Love You, Miss You, Mean It.” Both songs appear on Luke’s eighth studio album Mind Of A Country Boy, out now.

Media has claimed that on the new single, “Luke leans more toward the singer-songwriter approach to musical storytelling. The song is simple, stripped down, but still catchy and both musically and lyrically intuitive, keeping the listener interested from start to finish.”

When the album was released in late September, Luke spoke with the Tennessean about his love of both the business of the music industry and "connecting with people and hearing their stories of how (my) songs inspire them. Holding the happiness and inspiration that I give and receive as a sacred gift is important to my life and career," he says.
