We’re here to help you branch out and listen to some new songs we know you’ll love (while still supporting those oldies but goodies). Below you’ll find seven of the latest and greatest songs in Country music we think deserve your time.

1 Jelly Roll — “Son Of A Sinner”

Jelly Roll has officially released his first single to Country radio and is ready to make a splash. Already having success in the Rap world, the 35-year-old is ready to return to his Nashville roots and take the Country world by storm. He’s off to a great start with this emotional ballad that includes everything there is to love about Country music.

2 Caitlyn Smith - “Downtown Baby”

While Caitlyn Smith is no stranger to the Country music format, she is just starting to hit her stride after gaining new attention with her single, “I Can’t” featuring Old Dominion. As a follow-up, Smith is taking the solo route this time with her new single “Downtown Baby” off her newly-released album, High.

3 Ian Munsick with Cody Johnson — “Long Live Cowgirls”

Wyoming-native Ian Munsick has joined up with Country music’s ultimate cowboy and native Texan, Cody Johnson, for a true Country ballad. "Long Live Cowgirls" serves up all the old-western vibes Country fans crave with the descriptive tune written alongside Aby Gutierrez and Phil O'Donnell.

4 Elle King - “Out Yonder”

Since making her debut in the Country music scene as a part of Dierks Bentley’s “Different for Girls” in 2016, Elle King has found a home in the Country genre, which she wasn’t necessarily expecting. Country fans and artists have welcomed her with open arms as she’s appeared in a number of successful Country tunes, but now she is ready to give things a try solo! “Out Yonder,” is the first solo Country single Elle has released to Country radio with her new home at Sony Music Nashville.

5 Ray Fulcher — “Anything Like You Dance”

Roll down the windows and crank this one up because it’s good vibes all around. Already a successful songwriter landing cuts by big artists including Luke Combs, Ray Fulcher is ready to put his own voice to his lyrics and see where things take him. This fun song, all about finding love at a bar is the perfect springtime jam to lead you right into that summer romance.

6 MaRynn Taylor — “Every Single Summer”

After getting her start in Country music from a singing contest at Nashville’s CMA Fest, MaRynn is ready to make the transition from fan to superstar with her first Country single. One listen to this song and you’ll feel the summer rays already beating down and the good times ready to roll.

7 Tiera Kennedy — “Gentleman”

“Gentleman” shows off the self-described R&B Country sound Country newcomer, Tiera prides herself in creating. A sultry love ballad inspired by her real-life husband the song is bringing a new sound to Country music that listeners are clinging to. Deemed an “Artist to Watch” by several Nashville businesses, there’s no doubt this single is just the beginning for the Alabama native.
