Olivia Lane has sent out a strong message on her latest single Fight For Us, with the rising star calling for unity and common ground in today’s world. You can listen to the track here. Lane, an independent artist who operates her own record label and publishing company, brought in the talents of David DeVaul for the song, which is very much a rallying cry. Speaking about the song, Lane spoke of her dismay at how the world is in its current form and wanted to do something about it through song form, with the hope that people can club together and make a better tomorrow possible. “With all of the divisiveness in the world today and all of the quarrels and online hate, I wanted to encourage people — whether it’s in a relationship or politics — to come together for a better society and world,” Lane said. “We can find common ground. I hope this song reminds people of what’s important.” Olivia Lane continues to rise within the country music world, with the singer now sitting on a staggering 15 million streams on Spotify, while her 2019 release, ‘The One’ continuing to fare well among both her fans and the general listening public.

Tenille Arts has been recognised by the Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) in a notable way, with the talented artist winning the ‘Rising Star Award’ at the 2020 CCMA Awards. Arts, who originally hails from Weyburn, Saskatchewan in Canada, has had a tremendous 18 months or so, with her recent album ‘Love, Heartbreak & Everything In-Between’ winning many plaudits and gaining critical acclaim, while appearances on the US show ‘The Bachelor’ have also boosted her popularity. Speaking about the award, Arts said that it was an incredible honour to win the award as the CCMAs have always been something of great importance to her, while she is very keen to see where the next step in her career takes her. “It is such an honour to take home the Rising Star Award,” Arts said. “The CCMAs have been a part of my life and my career for many years now and it feels incredible to be recognised in this way. “I’m so grateful to all of the CCMA members who voted for me. It’s just the beginning and I’m so excited.” Prior to lockdown, Tenille Arts was scheduled to play C2C 2020, but it is testament to her song Somebody Like That – which she was riding the wave of ahead of C2C – that it is still doing remarkably well in the charts.
