    Charles Esten Prepares for Debut Album with Release of Single “One Good Move”

    February 21, 2023 /

    Charles Esten surprised fans on CBS’ The Talk with the live announcement that his new song, “One Good Move,” would be out on March 3rd. The song is now available to stream on all streaming platforms and digital retailers. More than 10 years after arriving in Nashville, TN, the heartfelt romantic rocker sets the tone for the artist-songwriter’s next chapter with his forthcoming independent debut album. Co-written by Esten with Sam Bacicoff, Zarni deVette, and Elise Hayes, “One Good Move” is a reflective power ballad with a soul-baring story, describing a misspent youth that paid off in the end with “one good move.” Dedicated to his college sweetheart and wife of 31 years, Patty,…

    Cassadee Pope Hits an All-Time High with ‘Thrive’

    October 15, 2021 /

    Cassadee Pope is no stranger to breaking the rules and paving a path that’s uniquely her own. On her new album Thrive, Pope expertly combines musical genres of her past and present while firmly defining her future. The combination creates a new genre of music that Pope’s fans refer to as “y’allternative.” A combination of the pop-infused country formula introduced on her first two solo records and her punk-rock past fronting the band Hey Monday. Collaborating with seasoned and iconic talents from both of the genres that previously defined her, Thrive has something for everyone. The album includes features from Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild, Lindsay Ell, and Third Eye Blind’s…

    5 Things: I’m Watching on TV During Quarantine

    November 17, 2020 /

    Listen, quarantine has been rough. Every day feels like Groundhog Day. I go to my socially distant gym, work from my converted home office, cook dinner, watch some TV with my husband and pups, go to sleep, and then repeat… every single day. And while Hollywood has spent most of 2020 in shutdown mode, TV has managed to deliver some saving graces to this pandemic nightmare we’re living in. The Undoing This thrill-seeking who-done-it is easily the best thing on TV right now. Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant deliver major Emmy’s vibes in this HBO Max drama that has more twists and turns than a winding mountain freeway. Every few…
