Monday just got a whole lot better because Selena Gomez just dropped her new song with Zedd, “I Want You To Know.” It’s got that classic Zedd sound but Selena’s voice fits in perfectly like a puzzle piece. We’re excited that she is working on music again! And Selena, we want you to know that we want you to go on tour again, soon. Listen to the new track below!
Pickup a copy of “I Want You To Know” on iTunes now!
1. Cam – “My Mistake”
We’ve never had as much fun watching an unfamiliar opening act as we did during Cam’s set on the Where It All Began Tour with Dan + Shay. She just launched her first single, “My Mistake,” and we’re sure we’ll be catching her on a headlining tour very soon.
2. Canaan Smith – “Love You Like That”
Canaan scored opening spots on some of the hottest tours this year, including Dierks Bentley’s Sounds of Summer Tour. His self-titled debut EP will be released in March, just in time to learn all the words before seeing him on tour!
3. Chris Lane – “Broken Windshield View”
Chris has played shows with some of the biggest names in country, making a name for himself on the road in the process. He’s currently working on an EP following the release of his single “Broken Windshield View.”
4. Michael Ray – “Kiss You In The Morning”
2015 is shaping up to be Michael Ray’s year – his first single “Kiss You In The Morning” was the highest debuting single on the Country Airplay chart when it was released. You can also see him on the Lipstick Graffiti Tour with possibly the hottest country singer of the moment, Sam Hunt, this Spring.
5. Jackie Lee – “She Does”
With his raspy southern drawl and electric guitar in hand, Jackie Lee is ready to make you fall in love with him. Like he sings in his debut single, “She Does,” he may not like the same things you do, but he’s willing to love them for you. Jackie is currently working on his debut album and landed the Nashville Lifestyles’ 2015 Most Eligible Singles cover.
Country singer Canaan Smith just announced he is releasing his self-titled debut EP on March 24th! His single “Love You Like That” has been steadily climbing the charts.

First up is Dan + Shay’s Where It All Began Tour, which kicks off next weekend (!!!), followed by Dierks Bentley’s Sounds of Summer tour. Canaan is also part of the lineup of the inaugural Farmborugh Festival in NYC, New York’s first ever country fest.

We sat down with The Weekend Riot before their show at Webster Hall and talked about what we can expect from their upcoming EP, which artists they’d love to collaborate with, and who they would totally fangirl over. Watch our interview below and get to know more about The Weekend Riot!
Sam Hunt brought his first headlining tour, The Lipstick Graffiti Tour, to NYC last night. The show, which took place at Irving Plaza, sold out within minutes of going on sale. And who said New Yorkers don’t like country? It’s been a whirlwind 8 months for Sam since he signed with MCA Nashville and released “Leave The Night On” last summer. He gathered support by working as a songwriter in Nashville, writing tracks for Keith Urban, Billy Currington and more, before releasing his “Behind The Pines” mixtape for free online last year.
His set included tracks from that mixtape and his debut album, “Montvallo,” as well as the songs he penned for other artists. Do “Cop Car” or “We Are Tonight” ring any bells? We love going to country shows because they are usually one big singalong – the audience knows every word, and last night was no exception! You could see how much it meant to Sam to have so many people singing along to the songs he wrote – he seemed genuinely touched. It’s one thing to be a good songwriter, but Sam is also a talented performer. You can tell how passionate he is about music, and how much he loves being on stage. It’s just not a good concert unless you get chills at some point, and despite the hot venue we had chills over and over again. Throughout the set he interacted with the crowd, even coming down to the floor to have a “House Party” with the lucky fans in the front row! And we’re pretty sure the girls he sang “Take Your Time” to are still recovering from their fangirl coma.
There is a lot of talk about what country music is now, and if Sam should even be considered a country artist. But fans aren’t so concerned with what genre an artist is – they just want good music! And he introduces new fans to the country genre, is this such a bad thing? We’ve all grown up listening to a variety of artists, Sam included, and you can hear the range of influences in his music. Between each song he played, he sampled tracks from everyone from R Kelly to Jay Z to Miley Cyrus, yet this all worked together. An acoustic medley of 90s songs was also a highlight of his set. The band led a singalong of hits by Reba, Mariah Carey, Destiny’s Child and Deana Carter.
Opening act Native Run got the crowed pumped up with an energetic set, including a cover of TLC’s “Waterfalls.” We were majorly impressed by Rachel Beauregard totally crushing Lisa’s rap. TLC, if you need some help on the Main Event Tour this summer, give Rachel a call! If you’re heading to a Lipstick Graffiti Tour stop, make sure you get there early to check them out.
