6Colton Dawson
Colton Dawson releases his second highly anticipated single, “It’s Gonna Rain.”
“‘It’s Gonna Rain’ is a song that I’ve been excited to put out for a long time. “ I feel as if this song represents my sound and my love for a country ballad,” said Colton Dawson, adding, “It is a straight-down-the-middle heartbreak story.” Sometimes a song doesn’t need to be complicated and wordy, and I think this song is the opposite of that. Just a story and a melody that I can’t wait for the world to hear,” said Colton Dawson.
