AM/FM Country Chart-Topper Ashley Puckett Releases First Self-Penned Single

The Pittsburgh-based artist will release “Tequila” on October 28th, 2022. She co-wrote the song with Andrew Douglas and Nathan Beatty.

Since the release of her 2020 debut album, “Never Say Never,” Pittsburgh’s Ashley Puckett has enjoyed enormous success, spring-boarding her onto the international country music radar.  Her album has racked up an incredible 450K+ Spotify streams.  Her single, “Bulletproof” reached #1 on the New Music Weekly AM/FM radio chart, also reaching #1 on the international iTunes sales charts.  Two more singles also reached the Top 10 radio and sales charts, while ushering in a 2022 International Singer Songwriter Association (ISSA) Award for US Female Emerging Artist.

Now, Ashley Puckett is looking to take her music career to the next level, by releasing her first co-written single, “Tequila.” The song, written by Puckett with Andrew Douglas and producer, Nathan Beatty, drops on October 28th, 2022 on MTS Records.  Like her album, the track was recorded at Tonic Studios in Pittsburgh.

“This song was written from a place of almost desperation for answers and just wanting to throw in the towel to love,” Ashley said. “Personally, I’ve had my share of times where I wanted to walk into a little bar where people knew me – or didn’t, as long as I wasn’t some center of attention to just sit alone and drink. ‘Tequila’ is a traditional country song where a girl has a conversation with, well, tequila. It starts with thinking too much, and as the night unfolds, the liquor does what it does.”

A music video is also in the works.

GMG_Grizz brings melodic rap and undeniable attitude on latest release “Something Slight”

GMG_Grizz

GMG_Grizz is here with “Something Slight,” officially released as “Something Slight Freestyle,” a rap record built on confidence, personal ambition and lyrical self-assurance. The St. Louis artist’s track, embraces the familiar brag-track approach, but gives it an interesting musical direction through its melodic rap delivery. The title itself is indicative of the mindset going into the release, showing the artist’s ability to spit dope flows and bars as just something natural, not some Herculean effort.

The flowing piano movement and the bouncing rhythm is what makes this freestyle worth revisiting. These elements make the record sound familiar but still keep the arrangement catchy and accessible. GMG_Grizz’s direction is more toward confidence and individuality, someone who is comfortable with his work ethic and the lifestyle he portrays. The melodic approach also gives the track a different personality than a straight rap performance, allowing its rhythm to carry much of the appeal.

“Something Slight” is a tantalising taste of where GMG_Grizz is heading musically. There’s room for him to explore this sound further, but the piano and rhythmic bounce provide a foundation for keeping the track interesting. A confident freestyle with a personality that you can recognise and re-play value.

François Marius pushes romantic excitement into a dancefloor celebration with “La Loco”

François Marius

François Marius arrives with a jolt of Latin Pop energy with “La Loco,” a dance-friendly track about attraction, romantic excitement and the fun madness of falling for someone. “LA Loco” is an immediate invitation to dance, with its catchy guitars, groovy bassline and spirited vocals giving it a friendly musical personality. Its approach is refreshingly simple, with the aim of having a good time rather than complicate the experience unnecessarily.

The song becomes even more interesting when Bérénice is on board, because the chemistry between the two performers is palpable. Their vocal call and response is a playful give and take, reflecting the thrill of two people being attracted to each other. It makes the romantic theme feel conversational, turning the performance into a musical chase instead of a one-sided declaration.

The acoustic elements also merge with the modern Latin beats, defining the danceable orientation of the track. “La Loco” is ultimately about enjoying the thrill that comes with attraction and letting yourself get carried away by the moment. Its constant call to swing along adds another layer of infectious energy. François Marius and Bérénice are a feel good collaboration that combines romance, rhythm and movement into an appealing Latin Pop package.
