6Zac Brown- Dolly Parton

GRAMMY ® award-winning multi-PLATINUM group, Zac Brown Band, has released two brand-new songs, “Butterfly (feat. Dolly Parton)” and “Give It Away,” from their forthcoming seventh studio-album, Love & Fear.

“Getting to record ‘Butterfly’ with Dolly is a dream come true,” says Brown, “She’s always been one of my biggest inspirations, not just as an artist, but as a person. Collaborating with her brought a whole new perspective to the song. Together, we were able to capture the power of storytelling, weaving a narrative we hope will deeply resonate with listeners. Her voice brings so much heart and soul to this track and singing it with her was pure magic. This song was written for my kids for all the challenges life brings.”

The former top ten contestant on American Idol and local Hunter Metts has new music. “Center Of The Universe” — the sublime new single from indie-folk singer/songwriter/producer Hunter Metts is out now.

“‘Center Of The Universe’ is a metaphor for what love can feel like,” says Metts. “I got married last August and it’s changed my perspective on a lot. She’s been there for me in ways I’ve never experienced. This song is about the most important person in my life.”

9Jackson Dean

Jackson Dean is putting his heart on the line and his charm to the test in his cheeky new track “Make A Liar,” out now. At first, Dean conceals his true desires by presenting his hopes for the future as the opposite of what he wants. Then, safe under a false pretense of indifference, he quickly turns the tables on them, urging the other person to “make a liar” out of him and make all those things a reality.
