Best New Country Songs

With Ella Langley dropping Dandelion - one of the biggest albums of the year so far - this week, knowing most country fans’ would be eagerly devouring that project, many fellow artists decided to steer clear of clashing with the Alabama native's release date.

However, many decided to drop regardless, with a host of stellar new tracks from the likes of Emily Ann Roberts, Niko Moon, Kenny Whitmire and Lily Meola. It also seems that, with the brighter weather starting to come, YeeDM - country-EDM - is enjoying another welcome wave of popularity, with genre-blurring, floor-filling new anthems arriving from Thomas Rhett and Marshmello and Kygo and Carter Faith.

Listen along to our Best New Country playlist on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and Amazon.

On the cover of this week's Best New Country playlist is, of course, Ella Langley.

With a full album's worth of outstanding country tunes, it's been difficult to narrow down just one track for our playlist this week - but we've opted for the infectious ‘Bottom Of Your Boots’. It carries that nostalgic, traditional-leaning ambience combined with a more contemporary, synth-backed instrumentation, and brings to mind the undulating melodies of Langley's five-week Hot 100 smash, ‘Choosin‘ Texas’.

Watch the Official Lyric Video for 'Bottom Of Your Boots' below:

Willow Avalon has surprised us this week with a brand new Americana-infused collaboration with Jason Isbell, ‘Cardinal Sin’. In tandem with releasing this wonderfully pared-down, old-school offering, Avalon has announced her new album, Pink Pocket Pistol.

Few other artists in the new wave of country and Americana artists can match the charisma and swagger that Avalon laces into her delivery, with the ‘Easy on the Eyes’ singer-songwriter once again showcasing her enchanting vocals on ‘Cardinal Sin’.
