Watch Hunter Hayes’ “Rescue” Music Video

Leave a comment

It’s real, y’all!  Hunter Hayes just released a brand new song and music video!  “Rescue” is about the people who help get you through a hard time.  Hunter has been experimenting with new ways to release music in the last couple of years, rather than dropping full albums.  This is is first new release since he dropped 3 songs last Fall.  We caught him in concert last week and he told the crowd to expect even more new music from him this Summer!

The video features performance painter David Garibaldi, whom Hunter met at a CMA Foundation event.  David is working on 3 canvases in the background as Hunter performs.  He’s teaming up with Zappos For Good to release a line of shoes inspired by the paintings in the video, with proceeds going to charities including the CMA Foundation.

As usual, Hunter explains it best: “For me, “Rescue” is about people in my life who have shown up at a time I needed them the most but didn’t know. Times when I didn’t have strength and a conversation with a friend gave me strength. Every time I sing it, it’s a release and it’s a relief. I want the fans to hear whatever it is that rescues them whether that be a person, a place or even an experience. We can have so many different kinds of conversations with a song like this and I hope that this starts the dialogue. ”

Watch the video for “Rescue” below!

Leave a comment

14-year-old country singer Lexi Lauren just released her debut single titled “Don’t Text.”  Lexi has been writing songs and playing guitar since she was 10-years-old and co-wrote the track, which has a perfect pop-country sound.   The song reminds you that you don’t always have to text – pick up the phone and call!

“Don’t Text” was mixed by Dave Clauss, who has worked with artists like Maren Morris, Keither Urban, Blake Shelton, and more.  Lexi has been gaining followers on Musical.ly, hitting over 100k in in just 60 days!  You can hear Lexi’s influences in the track: her musical inspirations include Kelsea Ballerini, Carrie Underwood and Martina McBride.  We’re sure we’ll be hearing much more from Lexi!

Watch Lexi’s music video for “Don’t Text” now!  Lexi is currently working on a debut EP, due out later this year.

Hunter Hayes just dropped the video for his new single “Yesterday’s Song!”  We’ve had this song playing on repeat since we first heard it on tour last Summer.  It’s the perfect single to release now that the weather is warming up – you’ll want to crank it with the windows down!  The video cleverly incorporates mirrors and flashbacks  (you might recognize some of Hunter’s old videos!)  to show you shouldn’t let the past hold you down.  Watch the video below!
