Mitchell Tenpenny Reveals Track Listing for New Album This Is The Heavy out September 16

Riser House/Columbia Nashville/Sony Music Nashville hosted a celebration for Mitchell Tenpenny earlier this week recognizing his over One Billion streams threshold (currently 1.3 Billion), his first triple-platinum plaque for break-out debut single “Drunk Me,” a Gold plaque for his debut album Telling All My Secrets and a Gold plaque for current Top 10 smash single “Truth About You.” During the event, Mitchell shared details about his new 20-track album, This Is The Heavy, due out on September 16. The powerhouse vocalist co-wrote every song and co-produced the project with Jordan M. Schmidt. Today Mitchell revealed the full track listing along with a new song from the album, “Always Something With You.” Pre-order/pre-add/pre-save This Is The Heavy and listen to “Always Something With You” HERE! Mitchell titled the album This Is The Heavy because the production packs a punch. “It’s big. It’s loud. It’s in your face and drum heavy,” Mitchell said. The project finds its own lane between a little bit country, and a little bit rock ‘n’ roll, and is without a doubt meant to be turned up. When describing the sound of the album, Mitchell laughingly coined a new genre: ‘Farm Emo.’ This Is The Heavy is also heavy in the sense that the lyrics have weight. Within these songs are the stories behind both good and bad memories – exciting times in his life and ones that were tougher to get through. With this album Mitchell finds himself grown up and in a new phase of life as a touring musician, family man and soon-to-be married man. Balancing it all can get heavy. With equal parts highs and lows intertwined by clever lyrics and Mitchell’s distinctive sound with a bit of extra edge, This Is The Heavy is a project Mitchell wants his fans to get lost in, and find themselves in. The album includes his hit single, “Truth About You,” that he debuted on TikTok. The song instantly became the highest streaming debut of his career with 2.5 million streams in the first three days. The number doubled within a week and the song has now amassed over 125 million on-demand streams. The continued positive reaction from fans prompted its delivery to country radio, where it’s currently sits inside the Top 10. Additionally, Mitchell has a second single on the charts – his collaboration with Chris Young on their co-written Top 10 hit, “At The End Of A Bar.” The pair performed the song on the Today Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show and the 57th Annual ACM Awards.

Capitol Records Nashville Multi-Platinum hitmaker Jon Pardi will perform his chart-rising single “Last Night Lonely” on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Tuesday (8/9), airing at 11:35pm ET/10:35pm CT. Catapulting into country radio’s Top 5 as one of Pardi’s fastest-rising singles to date, “Last Night Lonely” is the fiddle and steel-drenched lead track from his upcoming fourth studio album, Mr. Saturday Night, out September 2. Pardi recently shared the project’s title track, with Billboard praising his “signature neo-traditional country” and “clever play on words,” while CMT claims it’s a “quintessential honky-tonk standard.” Mr. Saturday Night is produced by Bart Butler, Ryan Gore and Pardi, the same team behind the boards of his ACM and CMA Album of The Year-nominated Heartache Medication. With 14 songs steeped in losing, a little loving and what’s in between, Pardi digs beneath the surface on Mr. Saturday Night, returning the genre to an era of buckle-polishing dancefloor encounters, yowling bar-room revelers and the occasional strong, silent type ballad

Dierks Bentley’s new single Gold out now

Multi-Platinum Country music star Dierks Bentley releases “Gold”, on Snakefarm in the UK, a single about gratitude, presence and the treasures to be found in the moment that you are in. The bright and banging record sets the stage for Bentley’s tenth LP, arriving early next year after an especially careful production process, one helmed by the artist himself for the first time. To listen, click here. “2020 was a chance for me to give my guitar and the road a little rest. It gave me the chance to spend a lot more time adventuring outdoors with family and friends, but also alone. It also gave me time to reset and rekindle my love of Country music and a lot of the types of songs and sounds that I fell in love with when I first got to Nashville,” explains Bentley. “I think you’ll hear that in this first track, but it carries across the whole album.” While he’s long been a Music Row standout for devotion to his roots in classic Country and bluegrass, Bentley has never been so free to infuse his passions into music destined for the competitive commercial Country arena. Working with trusted collaborators Ross Copperman, Reid Shippen and Jon Randall Stewart, he led an effort that mashes up several Nashville golden ages as well as homage to the Grand Ole Opry’s century of influence.
