Thomas Rhett and Maren Morris Stream New Song 'Craving You'

Thomas Rhett celebrated his big wins at the CMA Awards on Sunday night be releasing his brand new single "Craving You" which features a guest appearance from Maren Morris.

Rhett had this to say about the new song, "I'm so incredibly proud of 'Craving You.' It transports me right back to the eighties. There's that Phil Collins-sounding drum, the stuttered bass notes. I'm a huge lover of the music from that genre and I think this song taps right into that vibe. And my fans know that I thrive on being unpredictable."

He also explained how rising star Maren Morris became involved, "Every song is written for a reason, but it felt like this one was meant for me. I remember texting Maren and asking if she would sing on the song. She came over and just blew me away. I was amazed at how much her voice fit the song. Having a woman on the song made it twice as craving - a guy and a girl, obsessed with each other. I think that's relatable."

Rhett and Morris took the stage at the 52nd Academy Of Country Music Awards on Sunday night to perform the new track. Rhett walked away a big winner that evening, taking home awards for Male Vocalist of the Year and Song of the Year for "Die A Happy Man." Stream the new song here.

Michael Gira describes the discovery as "a revelation of great sonic effect". Talking about the recording, Gira said "I lived in a tent in a mosquito infested studio right next to Cabrini Green in Chicago for what (?) something like 3 months, rarely leaving. Band members and Jarboe and Bill Rieflin etc came and went, and somehow we crafted this thing into what it became." Read more

Singled Out: Jonezen's Way Up

Alternative hip-hop artist Jonezen just released his brand new single "Way Up" featuring Marty James and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about the new track. Here is the story:

"Way Up" all started with an idea. I had this concept for big, anthem drums, over a distorted guitar line. This is sort of how all my songs start. I hear something in my head, write it down, and then send it off to a producer. So, that's exactly what I did. I emailed Mart 85 who produced the track and explained what I was hearing via email. He responded and said he'd figure something out. He came back with the beat and I loved it.

From there I needed a hook. I knew I wanted a singer who had a Nate Dog vibe, and I can't sing to save my life. I took to Fb, posted something along the lines of, "Who's got the link on a dude who can sing like Nate Dog?" Ironically enough, my DJ (Havoc) hit me up and asked if I had ever heard of Marty James. I had done a song with Marty James years ago and when Havoc mentioned his name, I knew he was the right guy for the job. I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of him on my own. Havoc and Marty go way back so he put me in touch. I sent Marty the track, he came back with the hook, and then I went to town on the verses.

Marty did more than he was asked which was super dope, he took the song to another level and did a whole verse. So that second verse in the track where it sounds like Marty and I are going back and forth, was actually a full 16 from Marty. I took what he sent, kept some parts, and then wrote my verse around it to give it that back and forth feel.

I ended up writing two versions of the song. The original, which I did over a year ago and then the new version which got released. I was saving the song so I could drop it when I had some other material/an album or EP about to come out, but when I listed back to what I had done I wasn't completely happy with the track, so I rewrote the verses.

Personally, I love the record. I've done it live a few times and it always gets the crowd going.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
