Scotty McCreery has shared a news song in the form of You Time, which will be the lead single from his upcoming fourth album. You can listen to the track here. McCreery premiered the song in spectacular fashion as he performed it at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on September 4, as the first artist at the first gig at the venue that had fans back in, with capacity being limited to 150. It marked a full circle moment for McCreery of sorts, as he was the last artist to perform in the venue (a sold out show) prior to lockdown. Speaking about the song, McCreery stated his delight that he was able to have new music out in the world and also opened up on the meaning behind the song, which came from him wanting to spend more time with his partner. ”I am so excited to have new music out,” said McCreery. “I wrote this with Frank [Rogers] and Aaron [Eshuis] at a time when I was on the road more than I’d ever been before and I’d get home just in time to see Gabi heading out to start her shift as a nurse. I was craving some You Time with her and that inspired this song. Of course, now during the pandemic, we’re having a lot of You Time, which I love.” Scotty McCreery will also be venturing to the UK and Ireland next year to play his rescheduled dates, which had to be moved as a result of the pandemic. The dates are as follows: May 4 – O2 Ritz, Manchester, England May 5 – Old Fruitmarket, Glasgow, Scotland May 7 – O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London, England May 9 – Ireland Academy, Dublin, Republic of Ireland May 11 – The Limelight, Belfast, Northern Ireland* *denotes sold out show

Rob Mayes is continuing to appease his fans in 2020 by releasing another new song, this time in the shape of Length of a Song. You can listen to the song here. Mayes has been very busy in 2020, with Length of a Song being his 10th single release since January, following in the footsteps of Building Us, Addicted to the Chase, Didn’t Do This on My Own, Damage I Done, Don’t Give Up on Me, Avalon, Marshalls Sticker, What I Remember Most and The Way That It Was It’s a tactic that is very much working for Mayes, as his streaming figures since he started mass releasing have shot up. Mayes is now at a stage where he is bordering on 200k monthly listeners, while he is on the cusp of passing the 500k total stream mark. There is more to come, too – Avalon, Marshalls Sticker and The Way That It Was are all part of a soon to be four-track EP titled ‘Songs From the Sofa: A Quarantine Project’ and the fourth instalment is set to drop at some stage in October. Rob Mayes is also well known for his acting talents, with the US artist starring in the film ‘John Dies at the End’ and in TV series’ ‘Mistresses’ and ‘The Client List’.
