href="https://www.braydenkingmusic.com/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Brayden King</strong></span></a> is “living the dream’ after placing 55th on American Idol this year.  </p><p>The 22-year-old musician, originally from Weyburn, Saskatchewan, hangs his hat in Lethbridge.</p><p>Brayden has been out on tour since May 16th to open a western Canadian tour, which goes all over Alberta and B.C. and ends in Regina on June 3rd with his good friend, country artist <strong>Beamer Wigley</strong>.</p><p>‘’I had the chance to catch up with Brayden to talk about his new music, tour, and being on American Idol,'' says <a class="no-pjax" href="www.musicsjourney.com" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Kim Cyr</strong></span></a><a

data-link-type="url"><span style="color:#000000;">.</span><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong> </strong></span></a> </p><p>“I made a TikTok a few years ago talking about how I would never do this,” King admitted.</p><p><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);">"One day I woke up to a DM (direct message) on Instagram from an American Idol casting producer. She's like, 'Hey Brayden, I've seen your videos on TikTok and I really like your voice. Would you like to potentially audition for American Idol?' "</span></p><p>King said he has spoken about how he felt the shows are possibly scripted after friends of his had negative experiences with them, he said without getting into details he was against shows like American Idol for a long time.</p><p>However, after being approached by American Idol who saw his singing videos on TikTok, King said he realized there was nothing to lose in accepting an invitation to try out for the show.</p><p>“When they approached me and said they’d fly me down and pay for everything, I realized I had nothing to lose and I might as well go and try it,” he said.</p><p>Before performing for the three celebrity judges, King said he first had to make it past two virtual auditions with executive producers.</p><p>After two successful virtual auditions, King said he was then given the opportunity to perform in front of the three celebrity judges at a hotel in Las Vegas.</p><p>“I went in and they [the judges] were very kind and we talked for quite a while and then I sang an original song of mine called ‘Down That Road’ and I honestly wasn’t very nervous in the moment,” King said.</p><p>“I definitely didn’t prepare in a similar way as I do for a show. When we go to play a show it’s like the boys and I all together smack each other on the backs and we go. Here I didn’t have the boys and there wasn’t a crowd, it’s a totally different performing experience,” King said.</p><p>After the audition, King said Bryan, Perry, and Richie got him to bring his father into the room and broke the news that they had unanimously agreed to put him through to the Hollywood round.</p><p>“It has been a very cool experience for me and I’m very thankful,” King said. “The coolest part for me has been meeting all the other artists from all these different places in America that I got to meet; it’s been a crazy experience.”</p><p>"Katy said, 'Well Greg, Lionel gave Brayden a yes, and I want to give you a yes,' and then Luke said, 'I'm going to give him his third yes.' " King recounted. "And then they all screamed together, 'You're going to Hollywood.' "</p><p>He advanced through the first two rounds of “Hollywood Week”, and finished in the Top 55.</p><p>‘’All I would say is I don’t think I’ll ever be that nervous again in my life. So for any upcoming performances. I don’t normally get nervous but I don’t know if there will ever be a high-pressure situation quite like that. So it just set me up for I don’t think there will be anything to be scared of going on any stage or doing anything in my career because that was freaky. And I met so many like-minded artists and took away a lot of friends from that whole scenario. it was pretty cool,” he said.</p><p>‘’So pretty cool,” he said adding he said he enjoyed the experience.</p><p>‘’<a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.braydenkingmusic.com/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Brayden King</strong></span></a> released his new single ‘’<a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/brayden-king/1535886120" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Livin' The Dream</strong></span></a>'' in March of this year.''</p><p>“‘It is one of the coolest things in the world, honestly. I never expected this song to do anything like it has been. So It's a real blessing and I’m very thankful,” he said.</p><p>“<a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/brayden-king/1535886120" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Livin' the Dream</strong></span></a> was written about a hangover and it’s kind of funny how it comes out with a positive-sounding feel with but a bit of darker undertones in the lyrics. But it is definitely an anthemic sing-a-long song and people have been loving it. I wrote it with a couple of buddies of mine, Drew Shalka and Mark Maclure out of Edmonton just super stoked with how it turned out and people have been loving this one, so it’s a real blessing they have had such a great response” he said.</p><p>King gives each crowd a high-energy, hard-hitting performance, and leaves them wanting more. “If you’re looking for a party, I’ll bring it every single time,” says King. </p><p>His next single “<a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0fCguqEo1gADoSkTGI47qJ" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(150,75%,60%);"><strong>Bad Night to Be A Beer</strong></span></a>” is also the name of his new tour.</p><p>“I am touring with a full band. We’re having a blast.  We started off in Lethbridge on May 16th and headed out to Red Deer, Calgary, Edmonton, Grand Prairie, and then into B.C. doing Sicamous, Kamloops, Penticton, Kelowna, and Vancouver. And then we hopped back to my home province. We are doing three shows in Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Weyburn, and Regina to end it off. It’s been a lot of fun,” he said.</p><p>His band for this tour includes guitarist <strong>Roman Koslowski</strong>, drummer <strong>Cody Mack</strong> and bassist <strong>Cam Dougall</strong> and co-headliner, B.C. musician <strong>Beamer Wigley</strong> with whom he will be sharing the band.<o:p></o:p></p><p>King is planning to release a new single every eight weeks probably for the next two years.  </p><p>‘’Brayden opens up about losing his mother and what this journey has been like without her,'' says Cyr.</p><p>To hear my interview with <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.braydenkingmusic.com/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Brayden King</strong></span></a>, go to <a class="no-pjax" href="www.musicsjourney.com" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(240,75%,60%);"><strong>www.musicsjourney.com</strong></span></a> or click on the link below.</p><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.musicsjourney.com/1084946/12984976-music-s-journey-interview-224-w-country-artist-brayden-king-latest-single-livin-the-dream" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:#05c1f6;"><strong>Music's Journey INTERVIEW #224 w/ Country Artist Brayden King Latest Single ‘’Livin' The Dream''</strong></span></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><yt-formatted-string force-default-style="">Brayden King - Livin the Dream (Live Acoustic)</yt-formatted-string><strong>Brayden King - Livin' The Dream (Live Acoustic)</strong></p><div class="video-container size_xl justify_center" style=""><iframe data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="38UQoW5BGyc" data-video-thumb-url="" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/38UQoW5BGyc?rel=0&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Brayden King - Bad Night To Be A Beer</strong></p><div class="video-container size_xl justify_center" style=""><iframe data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="Ss__g0QPAJI" data-video-thumb-url="" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ss__g0QPAJI?rel=0&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.musicsjourney.com/1084946/12984976-music-s-journey-interview-224-w-country-artist-brayden-king-latest-single-livin-the-dream" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:#05c1f6;"><strong>Music's Journey INTERVIEW #224 w/ Country Artist Brayden King Latest Single ‘’Livin' The Dream''</strong></span></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Follow Brayden King</strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.braydenkingmusic.com/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Website</strong></span></a><strong>/</strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/braydenkingmusic" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Facebook</strong></span></a><strong>/</strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.instagram.com/braydenkingmusic/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Instagram</strong></span></a><strong>/</strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.youtube.com/@braydenkingmusic" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>YouTube</strong></span></a><strong>/</strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0fCguqEo1gADoSkTGI47qJ" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Spotify</strong></span></a><strong>/</strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/brayden-king/1535886120" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Apple</strong></span></a></p></div>

deeply for those around him in his life.  His new single ‘’<strong>Work</strong>'' reflects that growth and love.''</p><p><i>Aaron shares ‘’I got into music to save my life and writing music is from my soul.  I wanted to write to help save other people's lives.  I want to share a story that happened to me recently.  I was at a concert a few weeks ago and an artist came up to me and said, ‘’You don't know this but your EP Highway Mile saved my life.''  I chatted with him for a while and realized that this was a life-changing moment for him and for me.  He said that he had listened to my EP every single day and that it saved his life.  That is the reason I started to write songs.  It helped me and I wanted to help others.  It fulfilled me forever.  That is why I am in this because Bob

style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>Aaron Allen</strong></span></span></a><span> burst onto the Canadian Country scene in 2019 and immediately started turning heads with his first single “<strong>Where Music Comes From</strong>”.  A family man, previous tattoo shop owner, and all-around down-to-earth guy, Allen’s writing style of being transparent about stories from his real-life experiences quickly got him noticed and earned him the attention of local industry shakers and fans alike.  </span></p><p><span>Carried by a relatable and genuinely differentiated brand, his ascent was lightning fast by industry standards.  Thanks to his partnership with <strong>multi-award-winning Producer</strong> <strong>Jeff “Diesel”  Dalziel</strong>, which he credits as a defining turning point in his career, Aaron has learned to craft songs that stand out in the Country landscape. After only 3 years of professional activity, Aaron is a mainstay on Canadian Country radio, with 7 of his 8 released tracks securing rotation at various stations in Canada, earning him close to 10,000 spins to date.  A notable success that was partly made possible thanks to the steady encouragement of his most dedicated supporters, the editorial curators of Apple Music Canada, who have championed him from his first release.  Aaron has been and continues to be featured on 17 different Apple Music playlists since his debut single, including 10 of the 30 Country specific playlists a feat that allowed him to receive over 4.5 million streams through the streaming platform.  </span></p><p><span>A true writer at heart, </span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.aaronallenmusic.com/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>Aaron Allen</strong></span></span></a><span> wasted no time to leverage these early successes into a flourishing songwriter career, earning his 1st Top 40 record in Canada in 2022 with Warner Music’s <strong>David Boyd Janes</strong>’ “<strong>It Couldn’t Hurt</strong>”.  Now an in-demand partner on both sides of the border, he wrote over 300  songs in the past year, with collaborators including James Barker, Jimmy Thow, Danny Mirank, and Phil Barton (Brett Kissel, Lee Briten) all the while building an ongoing relationship with Nashville-based Demolition Publishing (Kenny Chesney, Lee Brice, Maddie &amp; Tae).  A flurry of partnerships led to his signing by Arts &amp; Crafts Publishing in early 2021 to develop the sync side of his career.  Allen landed his first sync with CTV’s Hallmark series “<strong>Ride</strong>” in April 2023.  With clear momentum behind his singular brand, the ear of influential tastemakers, and a top-level team behind him, Aaron has become a mainstay in Canadian Country Music. </span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span><strong>Aaron Allen - Highway Mile (Official Music Video)</strong></span></p><div class="video-container size_xl justify_center" style=""><iframe data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="uShndV--498" data-video-thumb-url="" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uShndV--498?rel=0&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Aaron Allen - Good Tattoo (Official Lyric Video)</strong></p><div class="video-container size_xl justify_center" style=""><iframe data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="-SuvWBddFYQ" data-video-thumb-url="" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-SuvWBddFYQ?rel=0&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Aaron Allen - Where Music Comes From (Official Lyric Video)</strong></p><div class="video-container size_xl justify_center" style=""><iframe data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="E5hZ0n_cHyU" data-video-thumb-url="" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/E5hZ0n_cHyU?rel=0&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.musicsjourney.com/1084946/12961659-music-s-journey-interview-223-w-award-winning-country-artist-aaron-allen-new-single-work" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:#10b0ec;"><strong>Music's Journey INTERVIEW #223 w/ Award-Winning Country Artist Aaron Allen New Single ‘’Work''</strong></span></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span><strong>Follow Aaron Allen</strong></span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.aaronallenmusic.com/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>Website</strong></span></span></a><span><strong>/</strong></span><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>Facebook</strong></span></span><span><strong>/</strong></span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://twitter.com/AaronAllenMusic" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>Twitter</strong></span></span></a><span><strong>/</strong></span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.instagram.com/aaron.allen.music/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>Instagram</strong></span></span></a><span><strong>/</strong></span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/54Ayy9NH4eLzpYWe1UYkgV" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>Spotify</strong></span></span></a><span><strong>/</strong></span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/aaron-allen/1453306732" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>Apple</strong></span></span></a><span><strong>/</strong></span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.youtube.com/@aaronallenmusic947/featured" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>YouTube</strong></span></span></a></p><p> </p></div>

His touch of pop-leaning know-how and melodic mastery adds a layer of incredible mainstream appeal.</p><p>Finding solace in music in the early pandemic, Palmer wrote every song on <a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/griffen-palmer/1502461748" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Unlearn</strong></span></a> with Grammy-nominated songwriter and fellow Ontario native <strong>Geoff Warburton</strong>. The 10-track album kicks off with “<a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/00b93R5OC1EHaBxEdQUfAQ?si=rVJ2vL_eQLqt4N6DJUMelg&amp;nd=1" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(150,75%,60%);"><strong>Second Guessing</strong></span></a>” and jumps headfirst into life lessons, both learned and unlearned, on songs like “<a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/00b93R5OC1EHaBxEdQUfAQ?si=rVJ2vL_eQLqt4N6DJUMelg&amp;nd=1" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(150,75%,60%);"><strong>By The Way</strong></span></a>,” “<a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/00b93R5OC1EHaBxEdQUfAQ?si=rVJ2vL_eQLqt4N6DJUMelg&amp;nd=1" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(150,75%,60%);"><strong>Came Here To Leave</strong></span></a>,” “<a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/00b93R5OC1EHaBxEdQUfAQ?si=rVJ2vL_eQLqt4N6DJUMelg&amp;nd=1" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(150,75%,60%);"><strong>How Many Beers</strong></span></a>,” and the flirty, simmering “<a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/00b93R5OC1EHaBxEdQUfAQ?si=rVJ2vL_eQLqt4N6DJUMelg&amp;nd=1" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(150,75%,60%);"><strong>Bottles On The Table</strong></span></a>.”</p><p><i>“Geoff and I met by chance because of a house party in my hometown, his girlfriend (now fiancé) introduced us,” Palmer remembers. “He took a chance and got to know me, which is when we figured out that we both played for the same rugby club, love a lot of the same music, and eventually realized we like writing together. Geoff’s family to me, and this record wouldn’t exist without him.”</i></p><p><i>“Griff continues to blow me away every time we write,” shares Warburton. “He’s mature beyond his years, and I think so many people will really resonate with his story. I’m so proud of him and these songs, and can’t wait for the rest of the world to hear them.”</i></p><p>Brought to life by studio master/producer <strong>Joey Moi</strong>, the set of Palmer/Warburton one-two punches shows off their knack for crafting ultra-catchy hooks with heartfelt appeal, with Palmer’s sharp, crystalline vocal serving as a critical anchor throughout.</p><p>“<a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/00b93R5OC1EHaBxEdQUfAQ?si=rVJ2vL_eQLqt4N6DJUMelg&amp;nd=1" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(150,75%,60%);"><strong>Second Guessing</strong></span></a>” was the debut single that showcased what we all already knew about <a class="no-pjax" href="https://griffenpalmer.com/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Griffen Palmer</strong></span></a> and the hip is real for a reason with his release of the highly anticipated debut album ‘’<a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/griffen-palmer/1502461748" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Unlearn</strong></span></a>'', says <a class="no-pjax" href="www.musicsjourney.com" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Kim Cyr</strong></span></a>, Editor in Chief for <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.nowandthenmagazine.com" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(270,75%,60%);"><strong>NOW and THEN Magazine</strong></span></a>, radio host, and host of the International <a class="no-pjax" href="www.musicsjourney.com" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(240,75%,60%);"><strong>Music's Journey Podcast</strong></span></a>.<strong> </strong>  ‘’It marked the beginning for this rising singer/songwriter. Palmer has paved his own path in country music thus far. Now with a team like <a class="no-pjax" href="https://bigloudrecords.com/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Big Loud</strong></span></a> backing him as an artist/singer/songwriter, fans can expect more incredible things from this Canadian artist.''</p><p>‘’I had the chance to chat with Palmer to talk about his rise as a songwriter and now as an artist with his debut album ‘’<a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/griffen-palmer/1502461748" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Unlearn</strong></span></a>''.     Palmer talks about his quick rise from songwriter to artist since <strong>Songland</strong> and how being vulnerable is something he just understands.  He shares the stories behind the lyrics and music for all ten tracks that I play in their entirety for this interview.''</p><p>To hear the interview with Palmer, go to <a class="no-pjax" href="www.musicsjourney.com" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(240,75%,60%);"><strong>www.musicsjourney.com</strong></span></a> or click on the link below.''</p><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.musicsjourney.com/1084946/12758778-music-s-journey-interview-216-w-rising-country-singer-songwriter-griffen-palmer-unveils-his-highly-anticipated-debut-album-unlearn" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(180,75%,60%);"><strong>Music's Journey INTERVIEW #216 w/ Rising Country Singer/Songwriter Griffen Palmer Unveils His Highly Anticipated Debut Album ‘’Unlearn''</strong></span></a></p><p>From the moment Palmer sang it on NBC'S <strong>Songland</strong>, it was clear that “<a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/00b93R5OC1EHaBxEdQUfAQ?si=rVJ2vL_eQLqt4N6DJUMelg&amp;nd=1" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(150,75%,60%);"><strong>Second Guessing</strong></span></a>” was a hit country song. Palmer’s knack for songwriting is obvious, and he has the vocals to back it up. The love song is a confident portrayal of what it feels like to be with the right person. </p><p><i>“That since I met you, I // I ain’t spent one second guessin’ // Lord knows I’ve tried // ‘Cause I’ve had my heart broken in every direction // Too many times // But I saw the rest of my life with one look in your eyes // I’m confessing // That I ain’t spent one second guessin'”</i></p><p>Palmer released Unlearn‘s powerful, retrospective title track along with its accompanying performance video. Vulnerability on full display, Palmer voices his most personal lyric yet, juxtaposing the journey to “unlearn” beliefs about love and relationships born from his formative years growing up in a divorced home, against the hope and discovery of finding out what love can look like in a relationship all his own.</p><p><i>“This one meant a lot to me when we wrote it, and that feeling grows for me every time we play it,” Palmer shares about the title track. “It’s a song that I really needed when I was younger, so I’m hoping that people out there that feel like I did when I was a kid might hear it now. I just hope it makes them feel understood.”</i></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Griffen Palmer - Unlearn (Performance Video)</strong></p><div class="video-container size_xl justify_center" style=""><iframe data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="kousldgbRe8" data-video-thumb-url="" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kousldgbRe8?rel=0&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div><p><i>‘’It’s been a bit of an interesting process that I don’t think is typical for a first album because we’ve had so long to work on it. I moved to Nashville four years ago but I knew Geoff before then when I was working a restaurant job back home before I was doing this professionally. We really just had four-plus years of creating songs and gathering different types of sounds and ideas. By the time the record and the A&amp;R process were here, we had to narrow down hundreds of songs. The world was our oyster at that point and it was just about picking the songs that felt right or felt unique, or unique to me at least. It was overwhelming at first but I feel good about what we’ve done.''</i></p><p><i>‘’You really have to just take yourself a step back and listen to them as if you were listening to them for the first time. Some of them are ones you’ve written within the last few months that are fresh in your brain, and some of them are years old. Putting them up to each other objectively is kind of tricky but that’s where a great team around you comes in with Joey Moi, my producer, and my management who helped A&amp;R the project. Everyone has their favourites so when I bring them to the table, it starts to make a bit more sense.''</i></p><p><i>‘’It’s just fun as an artist to try different things, especially when it’s your first project. You don’t really know how everything’s gonna go or how everything is going to be perceived so it’s a chance for you to just try something different and try something new and go from there.''</i></p><p>Palmer and Warburton’s songwriting partnership has also led to outside cuts like Keith Urban‘s “<strong>Polaroid</strong>,” and standouts from <strong>The Band Camino</strong>, <strong>Chelsea Cutler</strong>, <strong>Lily Rose</strong>, <strong>Jade Eagleson,</strong> and more.</p><p>Palmer is currently on the road this spring nationwide supporting label-mate Lily Rose‘s 2023 headline tour.</p><p><strong>Unlearn Track Listing:</strong></p><ol>

(<strong>MDM Recordings Inc./Universal Music Canada</strong>).  With an impressive 19M collective streams to date across all songs, the latest track and video offer a unique perspective on what it means to hold on to the ones you love.  Directed by <strong>Ryan Nolan</strong>, the video showcases James in a third-party role panning from scenes in a bar with subtle dialogue between the country artist and a couple, to stunning scenic views where he shares his perspective on the relationship.  The single released last year, once again finds James joining forces with award-winning producer <strong>Danick Dupelle</strong> as he channels a new and evolved sound.</p><p>About the new video, James shares <i>‘’''Let Her Go' is so impactful for me.  The lyrics are powerful, the story is relatable, and visually capturing and displaying those sentiments in the right way was incredibly important to me.  When Ryan Nolan (Director) decided to drag us to a random ski town in New Mexico to film, I knew it was going to be something special.  The visuals he captured are quite simply stunning, and his direction services the song so that it brings it to life in a whole new way.  I've always thought a well-executed video has the ability to enhance the impact of a song for the listener, bringing to life in their mind the story, lyrics, and meaning in a whole new way, and Ryan has done just that.''</i></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>David James - Let Her Go (Official Music Video)</strong></p><div class="video-container size_xl justify_center" style=""><iframe

nominations</strong> including a nod in the ‘<strong>Rising Star</strong>’ category, his debut performance at the highly celebrated <strong>Boots and Hearts Music Festival</strong>, and a <strong>Canadian Radio Music Award nomination</strong> for ‘<strong>Best New Group or Solo Artist: Country</strong>’. His 2017 sophomore album <strong>Downtown Kids</strong>, spawned James’ first and second Top 15 hits and most successful singles to date with ‘<strong>Sun Set On It</strong>’ and the title-track earworm, and he was nominated for four <strong>Manitoba</strong> <strong>Country Music Association Awards</strong> including ‘<strong>Male Artist of the Year</strong>’.

The companion video debuted on CMT in the U.S. as part of their ‘<strong>Next Up Now Program</strong>’, and later that year James was awarded ‘<strong>Male Artist of the Year</strong>” at the <strong>MCMA Awards</strong>.
