Here are seven songs you need to hear right now.

Corey Kent – “How You Know You Made It”

Corey Kent’s honest new song, “How you Know You Made It,” takes listeners back to the start of his career, when his focus lied with his music more than it did at home with his family. “I was so busy chasing a dream that I couldn’t see that I had THE DREAM right in front of me the whole time,” Kent shared. In the Jay Joyce-produced track, written by Kent, AJ Prunis and Smith Ahnquist, the rising star wears his heart on his sleeve as he shifts his mindset to relish in the moment instead of constantly looking ahead for more.

 “I got a house that’s home / I got a can that’s cold / I got a hand to hold / We already made it,” Kent sings as he realizes that his definition of what it means to “make it” looks a bit different.

Rising singer-songwriter Chase Wright teamed up with Kane Brown, Jeremy Bussey, Ben Johnson, Taylor Philips to write his latest track, “Hurt No More.” The Indiana native challenges himself to embrace his emotional side as he battles the temptation to retreat back to a destructive love cycle, knowing that cutting ties will better serve him. Wright continues to solidify his name in the industry as he puts forth his effortless delivery of unwavering vocals.

“Getting out of toxic relationships has always been hard for me, so I wanted to write a song that shows the other side of that goodbye,” Wright shared. “In ‘Hurt No More’ the subject of the song is finally calling it quits to their toxic back and forth. I hope this song empowers, and inspires listeners to do the same.”

Temecula Road – “Wrong Ones Do”

Temecula Road is embracing their rebellious side in the new honk-tonk anthem, “Wrong Ones Do.” This rising country duo co-wrote their latest release with Kelly Archer and Brandon Hood in an attempt to ignore the criticism they know they would receive from mama if she saw the person they’re falling for. While showing off their spirited vocals, Temecula Road turns a blind eye to all the red flags in front of them.

“I could blame the whiskey / I could blame the long line of wild in my roots / But the truth is / Sometimes nothin’ feels right like the wrong ones do / That’s why I’m fallin’ for you,” they sing in the edgy chorus.

He might be a “stay out way too late” kinda guy, while she’s a “a stay-in on the weekend” kinda girl, but that won’t stop them from falling in love.

“We don’t add up on paper / But here we are together / Cause we just go together,” Alexander sings at the end of the charming chorus.

Gossin revealed “Let’s Ride” was “born from a dream” he had about the featured artist. Then suddenly, as if the universe was trying to tell him something, Cheyenne called him up the next day. This song serves as a precursor to his upcoming solo project.

“The stars have never aligned more than they did that day because I hadn’t spoken to her in years, and I wasn’t going to ignore fate,” he shared in a release.

Amanda Kate Ferris – “Baby Don’t”

In her new tune, “Baby Don’t,” Amanda Kate Ferris, drew inspiration from her western influences and the sounds of some beloved female country artists to embrace this flirty love song. Written by Liz Rose, Lori McKenna, and Hillary Lindsey, the song paints a vivid picture of the moment you realize you’re falling for that one person. Using her fiery vocals, the Texas songstress tries to convince her love interest to tread lightly because the chemistry in the room is strong.

“‘Baby Don’t’ is reminiscent of the country songs that I grew up on and made me fall in love with the genre,” said Ferris. “It reminds me of early Reba McEntire and Shania Twain, two strong women who have greatly influenced my sound. I can’t wait to release this song to the fans and see how it might resonate with them as well.”
