Reflect And Rise Again with Hannah Anders' New Single "Outside Looking In"

January 17th, 2024 (Nashville, TN): Hannah Anders opens up to listeners with her new single "Outside Looking In." The single is now available on all digital streaming platforms.  

Hannah Anders' latest single, “Outside Looking In,” is a deeply personal and emotionally resonant journey through heartbreak, resilience, and the complexities of love. Inspired by witnessing a close friend endure the devastating end of a decade-long relationship — one that seemed perfect from the outside — Anders masterfully captures the poignant reality that even the most idealized unions can face profound struggles.

The song’s origins are rooted not only in observation but also in personal experience. As Anders reveals, writing “Outside Looking In” became a deeply cathartic process for her and her now husband as they navigated their own challenges. The lyrics reflect the duality of putting on a brave face while grappling with the pain of strained love, echoing the universal truth that true strength often comes from confronting vulnerability head-on.

Musically, Anders delivers her signature powerhouse vocals paired with a stirring melody that complements the raw emotion of the lyrics. The result is a ballad that resonates with anyone who has faced the heartbreak of lost love or the trials that test even the strongest bonds.

Anders has also opened for and shared the stage with prominent artists like LOCASH, Billy Currington, and Keith Anderson, and at festivals like SummerFest and CMA Fest are experiences that have enriched her career and broadened her artistic perspectives. These opportunities to perform alongside established artists have not only provided valuable learning experiences but also exposed her to a wider audience.

Hannah Anders has been a mainstay in the country world, distinguishing herself as a standout vocalist and a prolific songwriter whose talents have drawn attention from top-tier entities such as The Academy of Country Music, Music Row Magazine, Guitar Girl Magazine, and more. Recognized as a compelling force in the music scene, Anders combines authentic country roots with a vibrant rock edge to create a sound that resonates deeply with audiences.

Matt Oakley Confirms Opposites Attract in New Single, "Fire & Water"

NASHVILLE, TN  –  Matt Oakley confirms the ‘opposites attract’ theory in his brand new single “Fire & Water.” Delving into the delicate equilibrium of polarizing personalities in a relationship, Matt Oakley touches on the complexities of love while masterfully coupling these contradictions into a poignant, relatable release. These two seemingly incompatible forces come together to create something unexpectedly beautiful, as the song depicts a tug-of-war between passion and calm, forgiveness and sin, “Fire & Water.”

Listen to "Fire & Water" HERE: (preferred music platform) 

“In a world where most heartbreak songs focus on differences pulling people apart, I wanted to write one about how our differences balance each other out,” explains Matt Oakley, who cowrote the song with David Ray Stevens and Brandon Hartt.  “We used fire and water as the metaphor: when I get hot-headed and my flames burn brighter, she is there to calm me down, just like you would use water to put out a fire.” 

"Fire & Water" brings listeners a slow-burning country ballad that explores love’s complex power to heal and transform. With its raw, poetic lyrics and classic country instrumentation, the song tells the story of a tumultuous but ultimately redemptive relationship. With lyrics like, “she’s an angel in hell, I’m the devil in Heaven,” Oakley illustrates the tension between two opposing forces that somehow find unity despite the odds. Throughout the song, themes of redemption and transformation are present, as Oakley reflects on a love that takes him from a place of brokenness to one of peace and understanding.

“This song is easily my favorite I’ve written. It paints a picture of what happens when two people are committed to making each other better, even if, on the surface, it shouldn’t work.”

“Fire & Water” is available now on all streaming platforms, and will be part of Matt Oakley’s upcoming debut album.

Jessica Lynn drops sophomore record ALL I OWN

Acclaimed Brooklyn-born country artist and songwriter Jessica Lynn has poured years of relentless dedication into her upcoming 10-track album, All I Own. Shaped by the professional hurdles and recent health battles she’s overcome, the album , which is now available, stands as a deeply personal project.

In advance of the release she previously delivered “Something ‘Bout You,” the sixth and final single from the LP, an uplifting ode to falling in love with her husband. Jessica shared, “‘Something ‘Bout You’ is a feel-good story about falling in love and having the most amazing adventures together. There is something nostalgic about the song and I hope it brings everyone listening back to a really special time in their lives.”

Complete with an insightful tour diary style music video, the track’s positive vibes are further expressed through on-stage shenanigans and adventures throughout Europe. “My first-hand account of seeing how music can connect with people around the world, many of which don’t even speak the same language, is such an incredible feeling,” Jessica explains. “The places I’ve gotten to see through performing, the amazing people I’ve met, and the experiences I’ve been so blessed to have by doing what I love to do, truly makes me positively reflect on my journey. Just like ‘Something ‘Bout You’ says – I thank God for this life every single day.”

With the project’s release, she also delivers the official music video for the album’s standout track, ’16 Miles’ directed and filmed by 15-time Emmy Award-winning video production company FireRock Productions. Written during a lonely tour stop on a ranch surrounded by 16 miles of nothing, she refers to the track as a “musician’s prayer,” and uses the metaphor of her surroundings to tell a story of holding on to faith in music even at the loneliest moments. “Sometimes, all you see is nothing — no light at the end of the tunnel, no other road,” Jessica admits. “But if you keep moving forward, you’ll find a way.”

Following a routine sinus surgery that led to a battle with postoperative complications and muscle tension dysphonia (MTD), which threatened to derail both her voice and career, All I Own stands as a testament to Jessica’s resilience. “I hid what I was going through from everyone because I was afraid we would lose tour dates, opportunities, and I didn’t really want to admit it was real,” Jessica admitted. “I started singing as soon as I could talk and I started my first band when I was 13.  Music is all I’ve ever known and the thought of potentially never being able to sing normally again was a feeling I couldn’t quite put into words.” 
Forced to record in short 10-minute intense bursts of vocal effort, Jessica channeled her struggles into the album, each note carrying the weight of her recovery journey. She seamlessly wove double meanings into each track, inviting listeners to find their own stories within hers. Jessica has taken all of her blessings and hardships with grace, pouring her soul into every avenue she explores. This latest display of that can be heard on All I Own as she fought through her vocal injury — not even skipping a beat to ensure her music gets to be heard.

Maximum Volume Music (Rating: 8/10)
At The Barrier (Very Positive)

Despite her New Yorker background, Jessica’s connection to country music could not be severed, blending raw emotion and intricate narratives that resonate with listeners worldwide. 

Her passion for combining music with philanthropy began at an early age, complete with performances at children’s hospitals and nursing homes. Eventually, Jessica took her talents to PBS, performing concert specials for the network alongside a relentless international touring schedule. Sharing stages with some of the most iconic names in the business (Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Loretta Lynn, ZZ Top, Richard Marx, among others), her dynamic, high-energy performances showcasing her powerful voice and instrumental talents playing piano, guitar, harmonica, and drums have garnered rave reviews from critics worldwide while building a loyal global fan base.

Jessica’s enthusiasm for giving back was noticed in 2020, when she was employed by the United States Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs as a consultant to their American Voices program and a member of American Music Abroad, which has her traveling to countries across the globe as an ambassador for the United States, spreading her nation’s music and culture. With such a successful program, she was given the honor to expand her role and teach a course for the government’s international music academies that she created called — “Tips & Tricks for The Independent Musician” — ensuring that young musicians across the globe have equal opportunities in the music industry. She recently returned from Asia with the program and will soon be traveling to Nigeria to continue in her education efforts.

Besides her educational outreach, she has continued using her vocal chops to support organizations like Armed Forces Entertainment and Toys for Tots, the latter of which she partners with for her annual Christmas tour: A Very Merry Classic Christmas. The show features the talents of local musicians and dancers of the cities she stops in, truly living and breathing her philosophy of providing chances for all young musicians and artists (Watch the full performance on YouTube). On November 22, she dropped a 4-song live EP of tracks from the show HERE, with all proceeds from the project going to further support Toys for Tots (See Tattle Magazine feature Pages 72-74).

Jessica continues to create music that uplifts and connects, her unwavering determination reflected in every song. From overcoming vocal challenges to crafting an album that captures the highs and lows of her journey, All I Own is more than just music — it’s a testament to giving everything to your passion, no matter the cost.

Dalton Dover Kicks Off The Year With New Track “Ain’t It Easy”

DALTON DOVER KICKS OFF THE YEAR WITH NEW TRACK “AIN’T IT EASY”

(NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 10, 2025) – Dalton Dover is starting the new year off with a new song via UMG Nashville/Mercury Records with the “Aint It Easy.”

LISTEN TO “AIN’T IT EASY” | HERE (preferred music platform) or below:

“‘Ain’t It Easy’ is a song about how hard it is finding your person, but when you do find them everything that seemed hard all of a sudden seems so easy,” said Dover. “It really is a journey finding the right one, but once you do everything starts to fall into place.” 

Written by Dalton Dover, Matthew McVaney, Matt McGinn and Alex Maxwell, and produced by longtime collaborator Matt McVaney (McV), the song talks about mistakes made and finding new love.

That 17th summer, I swore I thought I loved her

But we were too young to make it work

There’s another girl in Athens, we tried to make it happen

For two hard years, oh man, it hurt

I had some ones that got away, a few heartbreak goodbyes, should’ve stopped at hello

But here with you today, there’s nothing I’d change if this is how it goes

It ain’t easy finding the right one

But all of the wrong ones led me to you

Baby, you’re everything that I want

So it was worth all I had to get through

It’s hard not to hold you, hard not to love you

Hard not to know what I got, girl, believe me

It ain’t easy finding the right one

But when you find them, that rest of your life one

Ain’t it easy

Dalton Dover encompasses the often difficult to describe emotional grip that finding the right one has on someone, drawing influence from the feelings that change the beat of your heart when they come into your life. With the busy, Spring wedding season looming on the horizon, “Ain’t It Easy” becomes a strong contender to make its mark on those forever playlists! - Todays Country Magazine

Caylee Hammack Plots Sophomore Studio Album Bed Of Roses - Out March 7

CAYLEE HAMMACK PLOTS SOPHOMORE STUDIO ALBUM BED OF ROSES - OUT MARCH 7

Welcoming Listeners Through The Garden’s Gate Is Title Track “Bed Of Roses” – Out Now

Nashville, TN - January 10, 2025 - Showing off her masterful technique for cultivating lyrical vulnerability, Capitol Records Nashville’s Caylee Hammack is set to release her sophomore album BED OF ROSES, bearing the fruits of life, love and loss, available to pre-save HERE.  

The 13 fresh tracks trace the universal story of a 20-something’s coming of age with a mix of gypsy soul, 70’s twang, and heel stomping red-dirt rock – “we all have different experiences, but we also have similar heartbreaks,” she says –  it’s filled with raw emotions and riveting energy, as the rising star learns to plant not just for a short pop of beauty, but aims to cultivate the nutrient dense, potent ground of experiences she continues to pull from with every song she releases.

“Your bed of roses is the bed you make – you get to decide how you spend your time and how you plant your garden,” Hammack says. “Good love is flowers that come back every year. Bad love, it’s just the thorn. Sometimes you got to till shit up. You’ve got to work through things and it’s not going to be fun. And then one day, your friends come over and you sit as a family on the back porch in the garden. And when they compliment the roses near the gate or the cherry tomatoes speckled about in the pasta, you get the pleasure of realizing, ‘I grew that, I put love, time, and belief into something and it paid off.’”  

Sharing producer credits with studio savants Dann Huff and John Osborne of Brothers Osborne, a bouquet of experimental yet-somehow-timeless sounds emerged, centered in modern country. With live instruments, rich organic textures and a throbbing pulse, they matched the chaotic harmony of nature to Hammack’s otherworldly vocal, washed by waves of tremolo and reverb.

Inspired by a fleeting romance that never took root, title track “Bed of Roses,” written by Hammack, Jeff Hyde and Benjy Davis, marks the central point of her whole sophomore project. A bright anthem with a swampy strut and electrifying vocal, with a theme of embracing the inner peace no part-time partner can give, Hammack sees it as the garden gate opening up to welcome listeners in, available to stream HERE (preferred music platform).  

The video companion to the new track is available to watch below:

The fiery songstress first set the scene for her next sonic chapter releasing “The Hill” (released 14 June 2024), and her scored woman ballad “Breaking Dishes” (released 30 Aug 2024) a “personality-packed bopper” that further displays Hammack as “busting with talent and has long deserved major stardom” (Music Row).

1. “Bed of Roses” (Caylee Hammack, Benjy Davis and Jeff Hyde)

About Caylee Hammack:

With her sophomore studio album Bed of Roses, available March 7th, Capitol Records Nashville artist Caylee Hammack keeps her musical roots intertwined with the country greats – with new branches reaching off to the outer edges of psychedelic Americana while fortifying her Country backbone. 

An Ellaville, Georgia native with a self-described green thumb and stop-you-in-your-tracks vocals crossing the warbling buzz of hummingbird wings with the sting of a thorn, Hammack landed in Nashville at 19, turning heads with her unique mix of influences ranging from David Bowie and Kate Bush to Dolly Parton and Tom Waits. 

Releasing a standout 2020 album debut IF IT WASN’T FOR YOU, she went on to share stadium stages with Luke Bryan and Brothers Osborne, stun tiny listening rooms into rapt silence, and captivate the Grand Ole Opry. All told, she has so far racked up 235.8 million career global streams to date, won an ACM Award for Musical Event of the Year (“Fooled Around And Fell In Love” with Miranda Lambert), and picked up Artist to Watch accolades from The Bobby Bones Show, Rolling Stone among other honors. But Bed of Roses tracks five years of patient growth. Featuring 13 fresh cut blooms, the rising star learned to tend her “garden of life” not just for a short pop of beauty, but for a long lasting, healthy environment. “As a little girl who always just wanted a man to bring her flowers – I decided I’d be better off if I just learned how to grow my own,” she says.
