Song You Need to Know: Breland, ‘Cross Country’
Following his breakout hit “ My Truck, ” which went platinum and scored a Chevy campaign, Breland has released another incredibly catchy single called “Cross Country.” At nearly three and a half minutes, the radio-ready song is a melodic rush of pop-country about a young man chasing his dreams and rising from obscurity, but it’s also a symbol of country music’s ongoing evolution. As Breland recalls in the lyrics of the pre-chorus, he spent a while trying to fit in but only found success and confidence by eventually giving that up and following his gut. “I’m different, yeah, I know,” he sings, showcasing classic R&B vocals. “The houses I stayed in were great, but they never felt like home.” Breland, who started out as a songwriter churning out words for others, has fully emerged from those shadows. Here, he takes an autobiographical approach, singing about moving from New Jersey to Atlanta in the hopes of finding a way into the music industry, about his mom praying for him … [Read more...] about Song You Need to Know: Breland, ‘Cross Country’
Texas FB Player Says Rich Alums Made Threats Over ‘Eyes Of Texas’ Song Boycott
Breaking News Getty A former Texas Longhorns safety says several rich alums gave players an ultimatum over the school's polarizing alma mater -- support the song, or never find work in the state. UT's alma mater, "The Eyes Of Texas," has been at the center of controversy for years ... with many calling for the school to distance itself from the song's apparently racist origins. In fact, almost every player on the Texas football team boycotted the song in 2020 ... by heading to the locker rooms while "The Eyes" played after UT's loss to Oklahoma in October. Texas defensive back Caden Sterns says the debate got so serious, he and his teammates were told to support the song or risk future employment in the state by rich alums. "My teammates and I got threatened by some alumni that we would have to find jobs outside of Texas if we didn’t participate," Sterns tweeted Monday. Sterns' claim comes on the heels of a new report, which stated wealthy boosters … [Read more...] about Texas FB Player Says Rich Alums Made Threats Over ‘Eyes Of Texas’ Song Boycott
Breland on the Country Vibes of His New Song ‘Cross Country’: ‘This Is Where I Belong’
When he entered high school, Breland was a self-confessed shy kid. The New Jersey native had grown up harmonizing with his musical family in church, but wasn’t naturally inclined toward performing. He made a decision to reinvent himself. “I was like, yo, no one here knows me at all,” he tells Rolling Stone . “I can legitimately be and do whoever and whatever I want. I started telling people I was an artist and that I wrote songs. It wasn’t really entirely true, but I just went for it and started singing for people around campus. I became the kid on campus that sang. It gave me a voice.” That reinvention and embrace of his talents turned out to be a prophetic move. Breland’s 2020 single “ My Truck ” was an irresistible viral hit that mixed country lyricism and banjo with hip-hop cadences and trap beats. It spawned a remix with Sam Hunt and an EP of songs that further showcased his ability to blend styles, from the hip-hop production he’d learned while living in Atlanta to … [Read more...] about Breland on the Country Vibes of His New Song ‘Cross Country’: ‘This Is Where I Belong’
Eric Church Says to Stand Strong in Unwavering New Song ‘Never Break Heart’
Eric Church continues to gear up for the April debut of his three-album project Heart & Soul with the release of the unwavering new song “Never Break Heart.” Written by Church with frequent collaborator Luke Dick (“Kill a Word”), “Never Break Heart” celebrates the resiliency of the human spirit, no matter how much is thrown your way. Fears over raising kids in a mean old world or getting your soul crushed by a bad romance may paralyze, but Church says to stand strong. “Don’t let fear steal your brave heart/don’t let doubt take your faith heart,” he sings, “it’s OK to cry/but don’t never break heart.” Tinkling piano underscores the innocence of “Never Break Heart,” but it’s tempered by a gnawing guitar solo at the midway point — the pure and the dirty of life represented by two juxtaposed instruments. “It’s OK to cry,” Church repeats over and over at song’s end. “Never Break Heart” is one of three songs with “heart” in the title that appears on the album Heart , due … [Read more...] about Eric Church Says to Stand Strong in Unwavering New Song ‘Never Break Heart’
