5Wyatt Flores
Wyatt Flores shares his new song, Half The Man,” out now.
Of the new song, Flores shares, “This is the proudest I’ve ever been of a song, especially as a songwriter. I was blessed to be raised by two incredible parents, and I’ve always wanted a song that captures not only how great they are but also the pressures I feel of trying to live up to that high standard they set and how hard it is to be away from them, my family, my friends, and my hometown living this crazy life.”

7Stephen Wilson Jr.
The Indiana-born, Nashville-based rising star Stephen Wilson Jr. released “Preacher’s Kid,” the highly anticipated follow-up to his latest single “Gary” which is currently in the Top 40 on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart.
About the song, Stephen Wilson Jr. explains: “Preacher’s kid (pk): based on a true story(s). i saw the light that was the underbelly of a catfish & it can be as compelling fodder for storytelling as any other abstract inspirer. Broken and conflicted like us all, a small town can be a world. Another world within a world, when the world was once much smaller. While being adamantly instructed to avoid the worldly, I attended a class in church that taught you how to speak in tongues & that swearing is a sin. i witnessed exorcisms before lunch & a crying youth pastor preaching an impending Armageddon stole my girlfriend in high school.”
