Chris Stapleton is back, baby!

The country legend released a brand new single titled “White Horse” today (July 21st) as a part of this week’s New Music Friday, AND he took to Instagram to make an extremely exciting announcement…

On November 10th, the talented singer-songwriter is set to release his fifth studio album titled Higher, which will serve a follow-up to his 2020 album, Starting Over. After taking home the coveted GRAMMY Award for Best Country Album, this forthcoming project will have some big shoes to fill.

Nonetheless, with the official tracklist out for all country-music lovers to obsess over, as well as one song to tide us over while we wait, we have already circled November 10th on our calendars.

Prior the release of Higher, Stapleton’s schedule is jam-packed, with performances on performances on performances. If you want to catch one of his spectacular All-American Road Show tour dates, click HERE.

With Chris Stapleton’s soon-to-be hit single aside, this week’s New Music Friday playlist was stacked with even more releases that you NEED to hear for yourself, from artists like Tim McGraw, Chris Young, Brett Young, Hailey Whitters, Tiera Kennedy, Kolby Cooper, Tanner Adell, Becca Bowen, Sam Barber, Drew Green and more.

To add to this week’s array of phenomenal new tunes, Ashley Cooke released her 24-track debut project as well, which serves as one of the longest debut albums by a female country artist to date. Featuring collaborations with Colbie Caillat, Nate Smith, Jackson Dean and Brett Young, shot in the dark is definitely a must-listen.

Celeb Secrets sat down with the budding songstress to talk all about the project, which you can click HERE to read for yourself.

To make this week’s New Music Friday playlist even better, two of today’s top artists teamed up for a hot new track that was NOT on our 2023 bingo card…

Russell Dickerson and Flo Rida collaborated on their brand new summer anthem, “Beauty and the Beach,” and it is sure to make all listeners wish they were sipping a piña colada on the shore🍹
