Brothers Osborne, All Night – if this is the taste of the new record, can we have it now please? Wow, we have this on repeat.
Chase Rice, Belong – have we suddenly become Chase Rice stans. We think so. The Album Part II is flawless, with Rice’s songwriting transcending a level. Damn.
Travis Denning, Sitting By A Fire – wow the vulnerable side of Denning is just as powerful as the big, bombastic anthems. Tune.
