Release Radar
Kip Moore’s Wild World Album – Kip has released his incredible new studio album. We review the record here.
Cam, ‘Redwood Tree’ – Cam seems to be moving yet further in the pop direction in new track, a beautifully written track, but we want more of the magic of ‘Burning House.’
Dolly Parton, ‘When Life Is Good Again’ – is there a voice more soothing than Dolly’s? It feels like she cures the world with her voice and melodies.
Jillian Jacqueline, ‘Wait for the Light’ – We’ve been ready for new JJ and now it’s here and it’s absolutely gorgeous. We’re addicted.
