Ryland James – Blame

Morgan Wallen – Dangerous: The Double Album
“If Wallen’s sophomore LP sounds like ‘More Than My Hometown,’ country music is likely going to have a new superstar.” — BILLBOARD

Olivia Rodrigo – drivers license
Singer/songwriter/actress queen Olivia Rodrigo released her heartbreaking track “drivers license“. Penned by Rodrigo, she first shared a clip of the piano-driven, alt-pop song on Instagram in the summer of 2020 to incredible fan reaction, which inspired her to go into the studio with producer and co-writer Dan Nigro (Conan Gray, Lewis Capaldi, Carly Rae Jepsen) to finish the track. With its radiant harmonies and kinetic percussion, “drivers license” is a brilliant balance of unfiltered outpouring and graceful specificity.
